Live Forum Statistics on All Pages in Forum Header
 
Live Forum Statistics on All Pages in Header Template
Plugin Keywords: Member info,Statistics, Members, New Members, Forum, Statistics, Member Info, Forum, Stats,

Please Don't Forget to Click Install

Requested by :
Myself :devious:

Context :
Searched through vb.org but could not find a similar plugin/hack. I wanted to show all vital forum stats like total posts, total threads, total members and newest member on each page of my forum as well as vBa CMPS, in header template and this plugin performs exactly the same function.

What this plugin does ?
This plugin uses the 'global_start' hook and stores the desired information from your forum database into php variables and when called in 'header 'template, produces the desired results.

Utility :
Imagine... an unregistered/guest visits your website for the first time via a search engine link (95% of times its not the homepage that is found via a search engines link) and the first thing s/he notices is the forum header information and says wow!! this forum has got xxxx members, xxxxx threads, xxxxxx posts, why not get registered with this community and see what this forum has got in store for me. LOL!! quite true actually. ;)

Demo : http://www.sikhphilosophy.net

Any Screenshots : Demo is self-explanatory.

Warning : This plugin executes 5 queries per pageload.

Installation Instructions : (Also attached alongwith the plugin.)
Code:
Step by Step Instructions:
1. Ofcourse, download the Plugin.
2. Go to 'Plugin System' module in vb admin panel and click 'Download/Upload Plugins'.
3. Towards the botton of next screen, you will see a box table - 'Import Plugin Definitions XML File'. Click the 'Browse' button and select the Plugin Definitions XML File downloaded and saved somewhere on your computer. Click the 'Import' button and well... you are not quite yet done. LOL!!
4. Ok, Now go to Styles & Tempalte --> 'Styles Manager' and select the 'Common Templates' option from drop down menu and click the 'Go' button.
5. In the header template:
 
Find: (ususally at the end of the template file)
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open
 
$_phpinclude_output
 
 
 
Add Above:
<!-- Forum Stats in Header Template -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
  <td>
    <div align="left"><span class="smallfont">| <b>Discussions:</b> $totalthreads | <b>Messages:</b> $totalposts | <b>Members: </b>$numbermembers | <b>Online: </b>$totalonline </b> | <b>Newest :</b> <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$newuserid"><b>$newusername</b></a> (Welcome!)
</span></div>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- Forum Stats in Header Template -->
Ofcourse you can customise this code to suit your website setup. ;)

9. And, now finally you are done! :)


Enjoy!!

there are much better ways to accomplish this without having 5 extra queries per page.

oh! i would love that if queries could be eliminated in live update of statistics... :) Thanks.

hmmm why do you need to requery for this information when it is already done by vb? cant you just pull those variables into the header? that was they only need to be done once and will not add queries to show the same information twice.

just an idea.
