vBulletin Blog - vB Blog Stats on Forumhome

I was in need to show vBulletin Blog stats on forumhome and i prepared the following product. As i am not the perfect coder any further advise will be taken seriously for optimizing the product.

Installation Instructions :

Import the attached product via vBulletin Product Manager

Edit FORUMHOME template and search for :

				$vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers<if condition="$show['activemembers']">,
					<span title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[activememberdays]">$vbphrase[within_the_last_x_days]</phrase>">$vbphrase[active_members]: $activemembers</span>
				</if>

add right after

				$vbphrase[forumhome_total_blogs] : <if condition="$blogstats['total_blog_users']"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist">$blogstats[total_blog_users]</a><else />0</if>,
				$vbphrase[forumhome_total_blog_entries]: $blogstats[total_blog_entries],
				$vbphrase[forumhome_todays_blog_entries]:</b>  $blogstats[entries_in_24hours]

Cheers.

For sure, this product can be optimized.

You used three queries and that's too much.

First of all you need to run a cron job to save those stats in the datastore table. use the hook cron_script_cleanup in includes/cron/cleanup.php

Then you need to get the information via the hook init_stratup in includes/init.php

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumhome')
{
    $datastore_fetch[] = "'here_your_datastore_title'";
} 


and then use $vbulletin->here_your_datastore_title to access your info.

Then you can bypass the template edits by joining your info to a variable ex: $totalposts

thanks for this one

Feckie, check your product manager and make sure the plugin is enabled. Mine was not enabled per default after installing it.
