Really simple, a simple forums counter...

[Infamouz Nex]

a simple forums counter...but only a some of them not all of them....like for example... lets say you wanted to have stats on all the hacks for vb3 and vb2, you would only want to counter those 2 forums, not alll of that... has that been done?

Hmm, you could just sum the forums you want with the forum id(s) I'll ask Tim and see what we can do.

:eek2: dude i would love that.... pleeeeeeeease ive been looking for that simple stupid...crap everywhere... actually i think that people dont want to do it cuz its so simple... but im not a coder, im a designer... blah **takes out his bat and bashes his monitors** :p

So basicly what you want is a simple total hit counter that will only activate on certain forums only. Would you want it to go off for the threads in thoose forums or just on the forumdisplay.php? Also where would you like to display this total info at.

[Infamouz Nex]

on the sidebar, and on forumdisplay, as well as a page non vb page.... is that hard?

[Tim]

are you wanting this to track per forum and display each forums views in said forum? and then just sum up a few of the forums view for a main display?

[Infamouz Nex]

forum view? ummm i may be misunderstanding it.... or you may...

i wanna keep track of the threads started on a certain amount of forums... then have the total of those forums. for example

I have a poem website... so people submit poems in a certain places... see? like this...

Poem Section Last of post Threads Posts
forum 1 | name | 3 | 4223 |
forum 2 | name | 1 | 4223 |
forum 3 | name | 2 | 4223 |
forum 4 | name | 5 | 4223 |
forum 5 | name | 6 | 4223 |

Would it be possible to just counts the treads started of those forums? and not all of them?
Then lets say i have 4 other forums that is just for tips and tricks and stuff, that i dont want to count them also... just the poems section... get me?

From what I understand of that Im guessing you could use the code in forumdisplay.php
The following is a cut down version of that code.

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

(if your going to search for this code i should point out i changed the variable names so as to prevent any probs that might arise there)

place that in any file you want to show the total on.
then in your template for that page call $ttlthreads for total threads and $nwthreads for newthreads.
This is not tested btw and i offer no guarantees ;)
Someone else may well be able to improve on this and I have no problem with them doing so

hmm I guess the easiest way would be to repeat the query for each forum

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

If however you want the total for all your specified forums say 1,2 and 3 then the following should work

Something tells me this can be achieved better but its now 6:45am and I havent slept so for the moment this will have to be my answer ;)
