Top 'X' Stats

This hack adds the top 'x' stats (top posters, newest members, newest replies) to your forumhome.

The original idea was nanoentities but he will not be releasing his hack for vB3. Basically this is the same idea, all new coding, all new templates.

This hack also shows a 'New' or 'Old' text if the thread was posted after your lastvisit or marking all forums as read. Also it posts the deleted message for those who can see it and can be set to exclude forums.

I am currently working on a seperate page where the user can set the number of stats he wishes to show.

Live demo at: *removed* (dow the bottom)

vB 3.5 version available at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...846#post743846 !!!

Quick question.

How many queries does it add? and how is the load on MySQL?? Right now I have on forum Home.

Page generated in 0.32909012 seconds (94.71% PHP - 5.29% MySQL) with 10 queries.

Great hack. I actually didn't follow most of the directions because all I needed was the stats that it gave, but I didn't display them in the manner stated in the install file. But again great hack.

there has been no real change in the mysql some added if then else statements for the username truncation but that bout it so any server load should be minimal

I want to install this hack but after opening my index.php file I cannot find the following text anywhere.

'forumhome_subforumseparator_post'

I've searched through 5 times and pasted the text into MS word so that I could do a search for the text which it didn't find.

I run VB 3.0.1 which I was told earlier in the thread is ok.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Can anybody please tell me where it is as per above message?????

1st, don't use MS Word.
2nd, it's near the top of the document, around line 45, under this section.

PHP Code:

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

Okay... now that's weird. Are you sure you're looking at your index.php file in your forums directory? I know you're not trying to be dumb, but if you don't have those lines, then your page won't even work in the first place.

Can you paste the first few lines of your index.php page?

Here's a section at the start of my index.php file - hope its not too long

Hope you can help

{
$forumid = -1;

else
{
// draw nav bar
$navbits = array();

foreach ($parentlist AS $forumID)
{
$forumTitle = $forumcache["$forumID"]['title'];
$navbits["forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumID"] = $forumTitle;
}

// pop the last element off the end of the $nav array so that we can show it without a link
array_pop($navbits);

$navbits[''] = $foruminfo['title'];
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

Well... according to my file, the code you've been looking for is right above that, it's line 74 on my index.php file... but then again, I don't know what could be wrong. What version of vB do you have?
