sql call header stats

[GS-Liam]

Hi

I would like to add some stats in the header (like postcount, members, ...)
I found a thread which explains you can only use the variables in FORUMHOME (or something similar).

THere is a way around which I tried and was explained, but I dont have the full code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to AdminCP > Plugins
Add a new plugin using global_start. Use this code.

PHP Code:

// forum stats start
$numbersmembers = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user");
$numbermembers= number_format($numbersmembers['users']);
$totalthreads = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(threadid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread");
$totalthreads = implode(",",$totalthreads);
$totalposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(postid) FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post");
$totalposts = implode(",",$totalposts1); 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

these work perfectly.
But how do I add the amount of people online and newest member?

these are the variables in the theme:

PHP Code:

Online: $totalonline  | Newest : <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$newuserid">$newusername</a> (Welcome!) 


Kind regards
