VBstatistics on non vb pages

On this forum I saw much more scripts, which show on non vb pages information about vb. But all of these marketed as additive to vb, use their own configuration files and consequently need for additional adjustment. Want to offer script, which all data takes from vb, including style, template, can move necessary template and function from vb and show other (non vb) of the page through vb interface

1. Check again --> all instruction you make?
2. Write in nonVb page this string (w/o backspaces).

PHP Code:

<? include "http://full.server.address/vbdirectory/open.php?ac=header"; ?>

You must write this string ONLY in *.php files!
In other files (as SSI) in make in this time (full help instructions).

Great, what we need are some working sample HTML and PHP pages in the zip file.

Does your code disconnect from the database afterwards, I have seen some hacks that leave the connection hanging which seems a bad idea to me?

Thanks Devels, but i don't think it is working with 2.0.3

Any news on the documentation for this?

I tried it and found that it gave really odd results on a non-VB page - UNLESS the user had a cookie stored with VB login information.

So a new user coming along and displaying this non-VB page with SSI - would generate the VB login prompt instead of the required SSI information.

This hack does not work properly unless you are already logged in (or cookied).

My site requires login for all access - can this hack be changed so it can used on a home page where the user may not even have registered yet (let alone logged in!)?

Any news on this?

I'm having a play with it and I don't see to be able to get it to work .. so a zip file with some help/example pages would be good ..

Hi there,

I have some problems with the stats on my page. I made a template with the following stuff in it:

PHP Code:

<font color=#A7A7A5>Forum Stats:<br>
Members: <b>$numbermembers</b><br>
Total Posts: <b>$totalposts</b><br>
Total Threads: <b>$totalthreads</b></font> 


Look at it here: http://www.cscentral.com/forums/open...pl=forum_stats

it doesn't seem to work, anybody know what's wrong with it?

Thanks,
Sebasian

Any way to make the path to VB ABSOLUTE?

vbpath =="/forums"

This because if the include is called OUTSIDE the VB directory some functions wont work.
