Live Forum Statistics on All Pages in Header Template
Plugin Keywords: Statistics, Members, New Members, Forum, Statistics, Member Info, Forum, Stats, Member Stats

Please Don't Forget to Click Install

Requested by :
Myself :devious:

Context :
Searched through vb.org but could not find a similar plugin/hack. I wanted to show all vital forum stats like total posts, total threads, total members and newest member on each page of my forum (http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/) as well as vBa CMPS, in header template and this plugin performs exactly the same function.

What this plugin does ?
This plugin uses the 'global_start' hook and stores the desired information from your forum database into php variables and when called in 'header 'template, produces the desired results.

Utility :
Imagine... an unregistered/guest visits your website for the first time via a search engine link (95% of times its not the homepage that is found via a search engines link) and the first thing s/he notices is the forum header information and says wow!! this forum has got xxxx members, xxxxx threads, xxxxxx posts, why not get registered with this community and see what this forum has got in store for me. LOL!! quite true actually. ;)

Demo : http://www.sikhism.us

Any Screenshots : Demo is self-explanatory.

Warning : This plugin executes 5 queries per pageload.

Installation Instructions : (Also attached alongwith the plugin.)


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Ofcourse you can customise this code to suit your website setup. ;)

9. And, now finally you are done! :)


Enjoy!!

This is great thanks so much. I have a question though,. It shows up on my board with a dark blue background, I want it to be transparent to my board. How would I do that? Here is a screenshot of what I mean.

haven't tested on 3.7.x series. Is this hack working fine?

[Megatr0n]

Nick hack paaji.

[PamelaE]

I can't get this to work in 3.7 gold.

[andrewtr89]

I would like to make this work so that the output actually shows on or over the logo image.

Much like in your preview link except I have an image as the logo instead of text.

Nice mod :)

[KURTZ]

interesting, but 5 queries are too much for me ... :)

[PamelaE]

Is it possible this could cause peoples virus scanners to go nuts? Since I added it there have been several complaints.

[LongDogger]

[madmax1228]
