Installed.

One question, is it possible to have it in another page e.g. online.php ?

[Dismounted]

Yes, just do the following.

1) Change the location of the plugin 'Get Info' to global_start.
2) Add the following code where you want it displayed.

<!-- Start Posts Last X Hours Hack -->
<if condition="$vboptions['posts_last_x_hours_enabled'] == 1">
<div>
$posts_last_x_hours
</div>
</if>
<!-- End Posts Last X Hours Hack -->

Done!

I changed it just a little bit on my forum, so it shows something like this:

There have been x posts in the last 24 hours, which resolves in estimated average of x posts/month or x posts/year.

Check it out live at: www.goldenretrieverforum.com, at the bottom of the front page.

All I added was this line to xml, right above where it say: $posts_last_x_hours = construct_phrase....:

PHP Code:

    $in_one_month = $posts_last_x_hours * 30;
    $in_one_year = $posts_last_x_hours * 365; 


and changed the line below to:

PHP Code:

    $posts_last_x_hours = construct_phrase($vbphrase['posts_last_x_hours'], $posts_last_x_hours, $vbulletin->options['posts_last_x_hours_numhours'], $in_one_month, $in_one_year); 


And then on a display line, again in the same product xml I changed it to:

PHP Code:

<phrase name="posts_last_x_hours" date="0" username="" version=""><![CDATA[There have been {1} posts in the last {2} hours, which resolves in estimated average of {3} posts/month or {4} posts/year.]]></phrase> 


This change will only work assuming you will always use 24 hour config setting.

Works in 3.7

Thanks for a great hack Dismounted!

Could you please tell me how I could position this in another place ie. the template code edit? I'd prefer not to have it done automatically as our forum stats are custom-made to appear in the header instead with the template we are using.

Cheers in advance

[Dismounted]

You will need to change the plugin to run at global_start, and then place this into your header template:

<phrase 1="$posts_last_x_hours" 2="$vboptions[posts_last_x_hours_numhours]">$vbphrase[posts_last_x_hours]</phrase>
