if u go to vbulletin showcase on thsi board it says there are 77 threads in that section

all i need is the phrase that calls in that code.

As on my board i have a cover section and i want to add stats to top of board to say something like this :

Covers : 200
Labels : 135

because it takes the count from what is already there if u follow me.
So basically need the phrase and the forumid code as there is 3 forums i want to get the code from

i believe from the top of my head the data is stored in the "forums" table dont remember the exatc row but check it there your query will be something ike
SELECT 'row that has the count' FROM `forums` WHERE `forumid` = 'id number'

should not be more complicated then that

nay thats an actual query - the thing is the code is already been called as it shows on forumhome inside the tables - all i need is the code so i can print it at the top of the board.
I had the code which someone gave me before which was for vb3 gold but i upgraded to vb3.5.4 and i forgot to get the code before i did it.

Can you give us the code you use? (the one calling it)

i cant give u the code as i need the code myself

look at the pic which i took off this board - the arrow points to the number of threads in a section.Since this is already called all i need is the code to re-call it again at tthe top of my board.

I think it would be a problem, because it's called in the forumhome template and not the header template. So the var won't be present there.

is possible - cheers to all who helped but its solved now- was just a line of code i needed and MarcoH64 solved it for me.

you have to use that query if you want that info displayed anywhere else then it currently is because the forumid must be specefied you cant just do $forumcount or w/e and expect it to get the info it wont know what forumid your talking about so you add the query in the php the call to it via a template hope that makes sense to you

no need to call php m8

all solved here with one line of code which goes in forumhome template
