This is all done without ANY modifications or template changes. installation of this hack is SIMPLE.

Just upload the boardstat.php file into your server directory. You might to change the Path to your GLOBAL directory if its not in your FORUMS folder.

Currently the Add-on works as a 3 colomn table You can easily change that by opening the boardstat.php file and scrolling down to where it says Begin HTML OUTPUT. You can rearrange the html in any fashion you like.

To get the information to your main website just REQUIRE or use an IFRAME to call the boardstat.php file into your main page.

To make sure this installation is successful and works with no problems, you will need to install the hacks shown in this add-on just as a precaution. Some people are able to just upload the file and go while some need the hacks already installed.

**
Support for this hack is VERY limited until the new year. Reason being that im too busy too keep up with this right now.

Any problems seen in this hack, could be resolved by just commenting out or deleting the Member of the Day Feature. If you have this hack installed already then you should be fine. If you dont then it might or might not work.

Also, hacks like these dont work well across seperate domains or subdomains. In this case before the URL to the boardstat.php file works. If the PHP include doesnt work an IFRAME always will work.

See you guys' next year.

Very well done. Ill have these instructions added into the next version instal.doc

As you can see.. lots of steps. hehe

I'm running 2.2.9

The page I want to include boardsts.php on is in root.
My forums is in root/forums

Has anyone figured out a way to include it without using an Iframe?

Hey SVT Black Light. This is Colon33 here.. i had a little problem with my VB and website.. but do you still need assistance? If you do, the way you include it is either using a PHP include command or a .shtml include command. Is your INDEX file .php or .html ? I would rename all your website files to .php (works the same way) but then you can splice in any PHP code you want whenever you want. If you need the PHP code to include it ask me.

I have this script on our site, and love it. Problem is, its lagged the load time WAY down on our site, we are running 2.3.2

This is a shame, because this script really is awesome. This guy needs to optimize it for 2.3.0 and up.

A lot of people use this.

[BlackxRam]

Well Rishel, i do not use vb 2.3.x My board is too hacked right now to even think about upgrading it. I will probably wait until a REAL FINAL release. But, if anyone here is up for the challenge of optimizing it then go right on ahead. So until i upgrade to 2.3. Its as it is right now for 2.2.x. Are you sure its the script? Cause a few of my friends have it on 2.3 and there was no change in loading times on the actual website. Are you using PHP or SHTML?
