If you have PHP & MySQL experience you could pull data directly from the datastore table in vBulletin. I think the "forumcache" variable is there too, so you can use that to calculate the posts & threads.

Check the vBulletin index.php file and see how it works it out and then just emulate it yourself.

yeah i was trying yesterday for a while but the custom page is out side the forum directory so its proving to be a pain int he hind, thanks for the reply also its appretiated


Rick,

What issues are you having?

[stelthius]

Basicly what i want to do dismounted is have the forum stats display on a page outside of the Vbulletin forum root, by stats i mean Topics, Posts, and Users, thanks for the reply mate any ideas ?

Rick,

I'm asking what HAVE you been trying, what have you done?

Just include global.php and do whatever.

[stelthius]

Ok the main problem im having is this

I include this :> require_once('./global.php');

and i include this :>

$navbits = array();
$navbits[$parent] = 'Test Page';

$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEST') . '");');

here is the test page link as you can see it isnt working i cant quite work out why either im no PHP pro so im gettng stuck here

Ive also tried making the actual page inside of vbulletin and using the call function index.php to call the actual page that works but it wont show stats
The test url is the same still www.digitalised-data.com/test.php

--------------- Added [DATE]1211799004[/DATE] at [TIME]1211799004[/TIME] ---------------

as far as i can tell it wont display the information because the test.php is outside of the forum folder and this is were im stuck because if i make the same text.php inside the forum folder what im doing works so all i need help with really is getting it to work outsite of /forum/

ok here is a example of how it should look if it was successfull it isnt inline as its just for testing purposes but you get the idea http://digitalised-data.com/forum/test1.php


Thanks again Rick.

Alright guys after much searching on the forums i have had an idea, do i need to call some sort of function or include something to allow the code to work out side of the Forum root DIR ? because that is all i can think of now what i have got so far works perfectly but it will only work within the forum DIR any ideas guys ?

Rick,
