This installs a treat with vBindex, however it does add quite a few queries to the page.

Check out my sites home page some of the statistics there are taken from vBstats, which ones in particular did you want? They are very easy to add.

[Mr_P]

ok if poss i would like to call these 2 boxes in under the welcome box

[Posters] [Forums/Threads]

i can put links on vbindex to them but they look better if automatically shown.

Edit Small Note

Do you have to reg on your site to see the stats as no pages are showing to me ? regardless of what link i click on

Nope, there at the top right on the page that I gave you the link for. The server load is really high due to someone running a perl script which maybe why you couldn't get it.

[Mr_P]

/vbstats.php?action=topposters
/vbstats.php?action=topthreads

these 2 boxes if at all possible?

Sorry forgot to say i got on your site after a few mins

The contents of vbi-stats-addon.txt and change and add and modify the HTML in forum-threads-html.txt and posters-html.txt to suit your needs.

Add the HTML from these to files into your home template (you may need to change them as I only stripped them out of the vBstats hack.

and also where do i copy the contents of vbstats addon to ?

i cant find that ?

PHP Code:

// posts info
// ------------------------- 


Its right at the top of the file, after the variables, line 50 to be exact

[Mr_P]

ok got 2 boxes on main page but im stuck as i aint sure what file to look for // posts info
// -------------------------

i have done a search though all templates and it aint showing and even searched in vbindex and even stats.php with no luck

Easy hacks are not for me (joke m8)

[NTLDR]

It should be on Line 50 of vBindex.php (I probably didn't make it clear what file you were supposed to be adding it to).
