Display Popular Threads on my PHP Website

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on perfecting a new layout for my site, and I'm wondering if there is a PHP component or something pre-made to display popular threads on my site.

I'm looking for something fairly small, that would fit in the right cell of the middle table here:

Thanks in advance.

Depends on how you define popular. If you mean number of views:
[sql]
SELECT title, threadid, views FROM thread ORDER BY views DESC LIMIT 10;
[/sql]
Or number of replies:
[sql]
SELECT title, threadid, replycount FROM thread ORDER BY replycount DESC LIMIT 10;
[/sql]

Thanks for your reply.

However, I do not know exactly what you mean by that code. I know those are SQL queries that should be put in phpMyAdmin, but how would I get it to display on my page, and what database would I put it in, etc?

Thanks

Okay, I've run those queries on a copy of my vBulletin database...and it gave me this PHP code back:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php

$sql = 'SELECT title, threadid, replycount';

$sql .= 'FROM thread';

$sql .= 'ORDER BY replycount DESC ';

$sql .= 'LIMIT 10 ';

?>

I tried to put that on my PHP page just to see, and it didnt work. How do I make it connect to my database, or is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.

You would need to setup a connection to your Vbulletin database, so you could execute that query :)

Are you running another database for your normal page PHP?

No. It's just straight PHP pages with no database involved.

Thanks in advance.
