This hack was based on tkeil69575's hack.

To add extra stats look in the signature.php for more info.

oh, guess i learned something.

I know you said to put the signature.php in the Forum/ directory, but setting up the cron is not easy for it being in that directory. Just for anyone else to know, you can just put the signature.php file in your includes/cron/ directory and it still works the same without changing any settings. Then you can just use the defaut cron setup.

Here is my working Signature,


I do have a question or two.

How did you add the number online bit. Also the info in my sig is not perfectly calculated to what the board says on members, posts and threads. Is it excluding certain usergroups and forums? members are about 20 off, threads are about 3000 off.

[Mr Chad]

Its because its not calling the global.php, so it just goes straight to the database im thinking its adding all the things you deleted. because lets say you make thread 100 and then you delete it, and someone makes another thread its going to be 101 not 100 again. It just pulls the ID number.

[WNxWakko]

hmm ok. I just found the difference in members, Its excluding all that are in the Awaiting Moderation usergroup on my board.

The threads bit is really really far off,
1,357,759 is actual, its about 22,104 off.

yea it doesnt look at what was deleted.

like make a new thread and look at the thread number, same w/ the post number.

oh and the currently online thing. I made mine up lol, im working on a way to pull it out.

[Mr Chad]

Ok just find:

$totalposts=number_format($postb['posts']);

and replace with this

$totalposts=number_format($postb['posts'] - 22640);

[Mr Chad]

im just messin around and i figured our how to call up stats from ecdownloads mod.
