Ultimate Forum Stats Integration for Non-VB Page

This Hack was a port over from my vb2.x script that pulled information from teh forum to a seperate script which you then could break apart and include into your standard website via PHP includes or SSI.

This version is about the same but it now works with VB3.00 Gold

All that is needed to do is download the attached Zip File. Then open the boardstat.php file in any Text Editor. Follow the Commented Portions that have been outlined in there. You will need to change all the PATHS and URLS in that file to match YOUR server. It might take some tweaking on your part but it works just fine as I have tested it with several other websites. When You are Done Editing it, just upload it to your forums directory and call it to your main website using php includes, ssi or iframes.

IF YOUR FORUMS AND SITE ARE ON DIFFERENT SERVERS THEN YOU HAVE TO USE AN IFRAME TO CALL THE FILE OVER. ANYTHING ELSE COULD YIELD HEADER ERRORS.

------------------------------------
Please Remember. Follow the in-file instructions
and edit all the URLS and PATHS. I can't stress this enough.
I just know someone will pop on and say "Why does my links point to http://www.yourdomain.com/forums..... This is a warning lol
------------------------------------

My Next Few Posts Will include Some Images of How the HTML is Built Inside the File.

I personally wouldn't mind it - I removed a lot of the stuff also.

This is what I have on my index.php in my root folder

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

[BlackxRam]

yes one thing i forgot was the CHDIR thing. That was one of the things i added but my computer was overtaken by college freaks finishing up homeworks. Ill look over MSIMONDS stuff and finish it up in about an hour or so.

[msimonds]

hey if this works for anyone else then that is great. I fI Can help out in anyway just let me know. I have been trying to correct a different login for months becuase of a javescript error, but if it was not for your code, BlackxRam, then I would have never been able to get this to work. Great job man, really!!

[BlackxRam]

One problem I am upset about is the seemingly longer loading time. It was MUCH faster with VB2... Im not sure if its a VB3 issue but I would like to try to get it more streamlined.

[BlackxRam]

Updated the Zip File so everyone can understand it better.

I actually have to agree with you there. It does seem to load slower, I will also look into this and see if I can somehow speed it up

[Billspaintball]

Gave it a go.
All works fine except it wont display an avatar.
Just the little box with a red cross in it.

If I look at the html page produced I get

 <a href="http://www.billspaintball.com/vb3/profile.php?&do=editavatar"><img src="image.php?u=1&amp;dateline=1036410394" border="0"></a>

However, If I use the image part of that and enter it straight into the browser like

http://www.billspaintball.com/vb3/image.php?u=1&dateline=1036410394" border="0"

The image will display.

What wrong???


EDIT:

Doh!!
Stupid mistake on my part.
FIxed

Great script, using on my site.
