FAQ

Where is a good place to add the $forumdisplay_stats code?

I've added mine after this code in forumdisplay

</thead>
$forumbits
</table>
<br />

Why is this version Mod Version: .099c

Because that box let me put whatever i wanted in. And that sounded the coolest

What does it do?

This product will let you insert the whats going on box on forumdisplay. Current the only things that will appear are Who's Online, if you have Paul M's users visited in last 24hrs, and the forum stats box.

Why did you make this?

There have been numerous posts, and even paid requests for such a product but I've never seen one released, plus it looks cool on my forums

Will you make me something cool?

No

Can You Release That Awesome Skin?

No and it probably never will be
Do you have screenshots?

Yes! See attachments

Can you add users birthdays and events to this?

Perhaps in a future release if there is demand for it.

What If I don't Have Paul M's plugin installed?

Who doesn't these days?! But open up the newly created forumhome_stats template and remove

<!-- Paul M's WHO VISITED TODAY -->
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_todayusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_todayusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			$whotitle
		</td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_todayusers]">
	<tr>
		<td class="alt2"><a href="memberlist.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/whos_online.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a></td>
		<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$whotoday</div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- PAUL M WHO VISITED TODAY -->

What If i want to add/remove something else to the block?

Open up the forumdisplay_stats template and modify it as you see fit.

Were all these FAQ neccassary

Probably not, but I see everyone else doing it, and I wanted a long meaningful release thread as well.

OK, that will be great because I and my users really like to have some thing like that..

I hope you can code and release it soon

Thanks for this Mod!

After I installed it my forum went down and did this "error : Can't find file: 'psistats_cache' (errno: 2) xD

Im not sure if its my server or something I did to the add on T.T

[Datenpapst]

Its not really working for me. Have got 3.7.2 installed, placed the $forumdisplay_stats at the same place in FORUMDISPLAY you told but nothing happens.

[HemoOo Nana]

Thanks

[Infopro]

Thanks for this, just what I was looking for.

[Duncan Idaha]

Well the demo shows me a 404 message
The editing of the template shows me "webpage cannot be displayed"
And it doesn't show anything extra on the forum,.
So uninstalled it

Sorry to say so, but thanks for an interesting though annoying evening.

[motowebmaster]

Anyone know if this works with vb 3.8.1 ?

BTW, it does require some template editing and works wonderfully.

This works nice, but it seems to have messed up my "Most users ever online was" portion of the going on box. Both on the index and on the forum display. It will display what ever number that is currently online as the "Most Ever".

I don't see why this should happen, any quick fix?
