Forum Home Enhancements - Fake Community Statistics

Due to the recent announcement of Internet Brands telling they are suing XenForo, I decided to immediately stop updating my vBulletin modifications, because I am not supporting this action.

yeah, that should be pretty easy. If you not what code/template is in the stats module(i don't use cms systems) Then i can tell you what to add.

The stats module template is located in vBadvanced CMPS Templates>adv_portal_stats

Im not sure if you understood what I meant. The "what's going on" box is located on forumhome. If CMPS is installed you have a stats module that shows the real stats on the homepage. I wanted to import the "what's going on" box fron forum home page to the cmps homepage and that I could just disable the Stats module. The "what's going on" box on forum home shows the fake stats.

Also there is another module that shows the real stats. The who's online module. We really need to integrate this for CMPS users. I know this is not a supported mod but if someone could get it integrated it would make alot of users happy.

Any takers?

That would be great...would really make a huge difference to get it into CMPS modules

Good Luck and let us know when you complete it :banana:

currently this hack only seems to allow the dumping of fake posts in one forum category. Would be better and more realistic if you could assign a fake number of posts to any number of forum categories.

Also, incremental posts do not work. Once you've dumped the fake posts, real posts do not increment the post count for that forum category.

Okay Let me explain:
example a registerd nick is : Human
i put this nick in fake onlie user.So now Human is now showing as online user.
If any one klik on this nick user will see this nick's profile.

And :Human nick is showing in online.When the original user will be log-in there will be no double listing.But when the original user will be log-out
the nick will be changed to Human[away] automatically.
means the users nick will be online as Human[away], untill the original user log-in again.

Neat thing for this, would be a random amount of fake users every so often, and names keep changing. Also the fake users having a profile, not hard for people to tell it is fake. I had like 12 fake users, and 4 real users on the forum, for the members online there was only 4, so it wasn't counting the fake users.

what will the users say when the forum has gotten that bopost, and all of a sudden you stop using it.. and the statistics drops radiacally? ;S
