A little help with homepage...

[jamslam]

I am new to hacking by myself, and I was wondering how I could get a few forum stats such as the number of threads, posts, etc on my main home page...

I required the global.php file using this code...


<?php require("http://www.webtrickscentral.com/forums/global.php");?>


I then put $numbermembers and such on the main homepage. All it shows is $numbermembers. Now i viewed the source code when it was up on the internet, and it was like the global.php file was never required... I know the uploaded file has it, because I checked, but when it goes onto the internet, it disappears. I believe this is why it isn't working.

BTW, i have $numbermembers in the global.php file, and it works fine anywhere on vBulletin. Any help? I am new too!

Ok, instead of requiring the global.php file, i just put the whole thing in there...

i did a chdir thing to the place where it's supposed to be..

my site and everything shows up fine, but still instead of giving me the numbers, it just shows $numbermembers...

are there queries i need to run? if so, can someone point me to a walkthrough, or perhaps be ever so kind to do it themselves?

any help is very much appreciated!

Anyone...? Any help?

Is there anyone out there who can help me? Sorry for the extra posts, but am I being ignored or something?

If you think I just came here being lazy without looking at other hacks to understand them, I'm not. I took a look at a few of the hacks that allow you to post these sorts of thing on the main page, but I couldn't figure out which codes to add, and if there are queries to run, i don't know which ones. I need some help.

thank you for the link...

but i get this at the top of the non-vB page i put it on:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/webtrick/public_html/index.php:4) in /home/webtrick/public_html/forums/admin/functions.php on line 1754

This is like 1754 of admin/functions.php


setcookie($name, $value, $expire, $cookiepath, $cookiedomain, $secure);


The variable still just displays as

$totalthreads


Can anyone lead me into the right direction here? thank you

Well i seem to have gotten those messages away by chdir to the correct directory...

but it still doesn't display the number of members and such, I did it exactly how mist said in the link...
