vb.org Archive - What's going on stats tweak

Here's my current stats display but I think the way I'm doing some of it is not very good since it adds 2 addition queries to forumhome.

yes, i know, im purge crazy...dont care to keep users that arent active

I think this can be done with a cron job to get Total Posts and Total Threads and then have the cron job insert the count into a template or table....doesnt need to be real time, once a day update is fine to get the totals and would save the queries. There's probably other methods besided a cron script but can't even imagine how myself.

Should be something real simple for those with a bit of experience. I have practically none.

This is how I do it now....

For Total Registrations, I just added $newuserid (stock vb stuff)
For Total Threads and Total Posts, I did the following, with help from sabret00the ,
in the phpinclude_start template.

2 queries :cry:

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index')

{

        $lifetime_posts = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT post.postid

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post

        ORDER BY post.postid DESC

        LIMIT 1");



        $lifetime_threads = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT thread.threadid

        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread

        ORDER BY thread.threadid DESC

        LIMIT 1");

}

Then on forum home template, I modified the what's going on area to this:

Code:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/stats.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>

                <td class="alt1" width="100%">

                <div class="smallfont">



                        <div>Total $vbphrase[threads]: $lifetime_threads[threadid] - Active $vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads - Total $vbphrase[posts]: $lifetime_posts[postid] - Active $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts</div>

                        <div>Total Registrations: $newuserid - Currently Registered: $numbermembers - <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>

                </div>

                </td>

Anyone wan't to do it right or perhaps offer some suggestions on how it can be improved?

Thanks!
