Well that's almost what I wanted to do. But actually, I want to take the code in vb_stats.php and tack it on the end of whatever template the main forum index is. So that, beneath the Private Message part, the vb_stats would show there.

TIA!

I just copied a few of the variable's defenition lines into index.php, and set it up like you are trying to, though its under my "Currently Online" display.

I've been reading up on this issue because I just installed vbStats on my system with phpPortals. I dug deep into the system and couldn't find a file named "phpinclude" at all. But, I did manage to find (from this thread) instructions to add your include statement to my "globals.php" located in my vBulletin forum (/forums) directory.

After I added that statement, it all works fine.

BTW: Your DOCS Install.txt file is vague on this issue. It just says, "Add this statement to your phpinclude template"..... This, I think, is where people got a little lost. I know I did. I was looking for a file the whole time.

phpinclude is not a file. It's a template. It also shows up at the top of Modify Styles as PHP parsed code:.

Excellent hack!!! working great on both my old 2.0.3 and my new 2.2.0...

Much appreciated.

ok I'm having a slight problem trying to add the relevant code to my forumhome template. I copy the appropriate code I want from the vbstats templates into the forumhome template where I want it. It displays correctly, links and all, but I get no totals for any fields except threads, members, and posts, the rest are empty. I have put the vbcounter... in the phpinclude template also and if I goto vbstats.php all the totals are there.

You need the corresponding code from the vbstats.php file added in as well if you wish to have that found

So look at the variables in the source and put them in the template?

No, you would have to hack them into the index.php if you want it to show on forumhome.

What are you trying to include there?

Member Stats, Forum Stats and Last 24 Hours. I have everything showing up except for the totals. All the text and tables are there. I just don't know what to grab from vbstats.php
