Creating a counter
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi. I'm trying to create a counter that reads how many categories and images I have in my gallery.

The vB code for total threads and and posts is like what I want, as the category and image totals will replace the threads and posts totals.

PHP Code:
$totalthreads = 0;
$totalposts = 0;
if (is_array($vbulletin->forumcache))
{
    foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum)
    {
        $totalthreads += $forum['threadcount'];
        $totalposts += $forum['replycount'];
    }
}
$totalthreads = vb_number_format($totalthreads);
$totalposts = vb_number_format($totalposts); 
The original coding is from another script:

PHP Code:
$total_images = 0;
$total_categories = 0;

$cache_id = create_cache_id(
  'data.auth_and_info',
  array($user_info[$user_table_fields['user_id']])
);

if (!$data = get_cache_file($cache_id, null)) {
  if (!empty($cat_cache)) {
    foreach ($cat_cache as $key => $val) {
      if (check_permission("auth_viewcat", $key)) {
        $total_categories++;
        if (isset($val['num_images'])) {
          $total_images += $val['num_images'];
        }
        else {
          $cat_cache[$key]['num_images'] = 0;
        }
        $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['IN'] .= ", ".$key;
      }
      else {
        $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['NOTIN'] .= ", ".$key;
      }
    }
  }

  $data = array();

  $data['total_images'] = $total_images;
  $data['total_categories'] = $total_categories;
  $data['auth_viewcat']['IN'] = $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['IN'];
  $data['auth_viewcat']['NOTIN'] = $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['NOTIN'];

  save_cache_file($cache_id, serialize($data));

} else {
  $data = unserialize($data);

  $total_images = $data['total_images'];
  $total_categories = $data['total_categories'];
  $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['IN'] = $data['auth_viewcat']['IN'];
  $auth_cat_sql['auth_viewcat']['NOTIN'] = $data['auth_viewcat']['NOTIN'];
} 
It won't work in my non-forum vB generated page.

What is the template code you are using to display it?

It's just a phrase in there right now, not the phrase and variables.

It's in the "What's Happening" section of the FORUMHOME template. However, I have created a seperate template for my non-forum page to get that info.

If I switch the variable in the template back to the forum stats, it *does* work for that. But obviously this isn't a forums page. It's going to be a gallery page, thus wanting gallery stats, not forum stats :)

To get an idea of what I am doing over all, look here: http://www.colonialfleets.com/gallery/

The vB is vB 3.0 with 4Images using the user and groups from the forums.

However, with vB 3.6.x, 4Images won't work with it anymore.

So what I am going to try to do is create my own gallery system based on the "goodies" 4Images offers, but mine will be a plug-in to vB.

To do that, all of the coding has to be written in vB type, which means a complete over-haul. I'm willing to do that, but may need a directional point once in a while.

I've searched all over on how to create a totals counter, and all I can find is visitor counters, which do me no good.

Fixed it! Whoo Hooo!

PHP Code:
$result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "my categories table here"); //Change the table name
$total_categories = mysql_num_rows($result);

$result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "my images table here"); //Change the table name
$total_images = mysql_num_rows($result);
