Use this code instead:

thanx......but is there a way to display replies with this also?

i can get views to display...but not replies

<?php include("http://athlonoc.com/vbulletin/pop.php"); ?>

that didn't work :( Where I'm trying to put this is in the footer template. http://www.athlonoc.com/vbulletin/index.php it's on the right side. I'd like to include some things in the forum's template but I can't figure it out!

Did you make it so your footer will work with php?

$footer = include("http://athlonoc.com/vbulletin/pop.php");

and enable PHP adfooter in the control panel!


Correct if I am wrong. :)

Instead of listing the last 5/10 posts, I wanted to list the most popular threads for the month. Your subject says "popular", so in case you're interested in that too, here's the code I used to list the 5 most popular topics of the month on a different page. It is sorted by reply count and skips the private forums.

require("../bb/admin/config.php");

$num_active = 5;
$db=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassw ord);
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$myselect = "SELECT * from thread where MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost))=MONTH(NOW()) AND YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(lastpost))=YEAR(NOW()) AND (forumid < 8 OR forumid > 10) order by replycount desc limit $num_active";
echo "<A NAME='#popular'>";
echo "<H3>This month's most popular board topics</H3>";

$result = mysql_query($myselect);

if ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$counter=0;
do {
$counter=++$counter;
echo ("$counter. <a href=\"http://www.yourdomain.com/bb/showthread.php?threadid= $row[threadid]\">$row[title]</a> - $row[views] views - $row[replycount] replies<BR>");
} while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}
