Really simple, a simple forums counter...

wow thanx... i dont seem to understand this part though...

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

care to explain in newb terms?

Ok lets assume you want your counts to show on the index page of your forums

place the code somewhere near the bottom of your index.php
before:

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

is prolly best

Now you just gotta decide where you want the totals to show up on your forums index page.

look at forumhome template in admin cp
find $navbar

under it add

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

This is of course is very very basic and will do nothing more than put some numbers under the navbar

My advice would be to play around till you find the right place for it and definately consider at the very least formating to fit your boards text.
You could of course create a template but that would require more additions to the hack.
eg.

creat template called forum_threadcounts

and add the html needed to make your new counts look nice

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

add at bottom of current code from the hack

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

now where ever you decide to put your totals you would add $mythreadcnt


Hope this helps and I appologise in advance if its not very clear this is not something im used to doing for people. Easy when your doing it for yourself hehe

well i guessed right... for some reason i get a error though.... when i add it to the index... btw, nah man thanx ive been asking for this in a lot of places, im very greatful

[Infamouz Nex]

The error im getting is:

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

I f*cked the code up sorry

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

Updated previous threads the query should look like that

Have tested now and it does appear to work

[Infamouz Nex]

i still and use the AND thing right?

so i do forumid = # AND forumid = # AND blah blah

well i did that and i got this error:

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

[Infamouz Nex]

this is what i got without adding AND and blah blah

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

[ShavedApe]

ok what I see there is your not getting anything here (IF(lastpost>=
there should be some numbers there.
Make sure you have
$lasthread = $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
above the query

I just tested this on my testboard and I saw results

[Infamouz Nex]

ok good. no more error.... now im just getting 0. theres over 700 threads... what do you think i did wrong? this is the exact code i put in my index:

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

thats right... right?

[Infamouz Nex]

i just noticed it works fine with only 1 forumid... but i need 4 other forums... any ideas?
