vB Per-Forum and Per-User Statistics
 

Ever wondered which forum on your board is the most popular? Wondered which users contribute the most to your forum?

I've written a handy script to help you find out. It can help you decide which forums deserve to be split up, find out which are the hottest topics, and it's a bit of fun to see the numbers.

Installation is easy: download the PHP file, edit it with the configuration of your choice, and upload it to your forum root directory. Once you've done so, just visit yourwebsite.com/forumdirectory/forumstats.php and gaze on in awe.

The script supports memcached, so if you run a large forum and want to allow the public to see your statistics without them killing your server, just set $useMemcache to true. You need to have memcached installed, of course.

The script also supports excluding certain forums from the results, in case you don't want your secret word domination planning forum to be listed.

Configuration should be fairly self-explanatory. If you need help, just ask here.

Note: This does not use vB's templates. It's just a boring HTML page. That may change in the future.

Enjoy!

demo or screenshot?? :)

There's a public-facing version available here:

nice one ty

Whoa... i thought that it would use vB's templates...

Using vb templates would be easier than not using them :P
Also vboptions could sort the options :D

I'll try to better integrate it when I have the time. I could easily have it use vB's DB system and such if I take a bit of time to work out its use.

Once I do so I'll release a newer, shinier version. Until then, it'll remain "quick & dirty."
