You had better get used to looking and learning how to use the CMS, as the details you are after are in here.

/blocks/statistics.php

And please, stop quoting the post above yours (Or the last post), especially when they contain a lot of detail. Use the "Reply" button instead.

Why?

Because I have to go through all this in my quick-view mail-washer just to read your few lines at the bottom.....

Find:

$template->assign_vars(array(

 'TOTAL_POSTS' => sprintf($l_total_post_s, $total_posts),

Before Add:

// Check For Anonymous User

 if ($user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS)

 {

 $name_link = colorize_username($user->data['user_id'], $user->data['username'], $user->data['user_color'], $user->data['user_active']);

 $avatar_img = user_get_avatar($user->data['user_id'], $user->data['user_level'], $user->data['user_avatar'], $user->data['user_avatar_type'], $user->data['user_allowavatar']);

 }

 else

 {

 $name_link = $lang['Guest'];

 $avatar_img = '<img src="' . $config['default_avatar_guests_url'] . '" alt="" />';

 }

 $template->assign_vars(array(

 'U_NAME_LINK' => $name_link,

 )

 );

Now you can see what I meant about not ALL vars are global.

I also don't know why you don't make a copy of the CMS user block with a new ID and use that with your own template file.

That's why it's a CMS! [Image ignored]

thanks, i am not use to phpbb i am use to smf so i am still learning with phpbb and icy phoenix.

can you also show me how to get the post count and user count and total topics count for template to show up?

somewhat like this:

Code: [Hide [links to #]]

Code: [Show [links to #]]

   * Our users have posted a total of 28 articles 

   * Total posts 19 • Total topics 19 

   *  

and 

i know the total posts and topics is from phpbb but i want to do something similar but with icyphoenix style of posts and topics.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

oh ok. i will look and see if i can find what i am looking for.

should really have a tutorial for new users on how to use the system specially for 2.0.

i have copied this

Code: [Hide]

 'TOTAL_USERS' => sprintf($l_total_user_s, $total_users), 
			'NEWEST_USER' => sprintf($lang['Newest_user'], '', $newest_user, ''), 
			'TOTAL_POSTS' => sprintf($l_total_post_s, $total_posts), 
			'TOTAL_TOPICS' => sprintf($lang['total_topics'], $total_topics), 
in the tpl file: 
<table class="empty-table" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> 
<tr><td><span class="gensmall">{TOTAL_USERS}<br />{NEWEST_USER}<br /><br />{TOTAL_POSTS} {TOTAL_TOPICS}</span></td></tr> 
</table> 
 
 
 

into my php file and it still doesn't show up the posts and topics.

is there something else i need?

You would possibly need to copy the SQL that queries the information for that data to your php file also.

And you're right about the docs, but I don't think anyone has had the chance to catch up.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

oh ok. couldn't i had a specific tag to show the information without using php or no?

mort [ Fri 07 Sep, 2012 08:38 ]
Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

No,

You need to have a function that queries the database for the info, then you have to add vars to the queries, then you need to pass those vars to the template like this for example.

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$template->assign_vars(array(

'TOTAL_USERS' => sprintf($l_total_user_s, $total_users), 

'NEWEST_USER' => sprintf($lang['Newest_user'], '', $newest_user, ''), 

'TOTAL_POSTS' => sprintf($l_total_post_s, $total_posts), 

'TOTAL_TOPICS' => sprintf($lang['total_topics'], $total_topics),

)

);

Then in your template you would have {TOTAL_USERS} to pass the $total_users query to the front-end etc.

Welcome to phpBB code?

And by the way, it's not something I bother with much any more (since Icy Phoenix has changed so dramatically from the last version and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you), so you'll have to wait for an Icy Phoenix fanatic to assist you further.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

i did that it didn't work the way i was hoping but i guess i will have to figure it out somehow. if i can take it from phpbb3 template and show it on icy i might be able to figure it out. i am guessing 2.0 just came out.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

Yes, Version 2.* has just been released and is more or less still undergoing beta testing.

I may have given you a bum steer too.

Try this:

Open:

templates/default/default.cfg

Find:

?>

Before add:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$template->assign_vars(array(

'TOTAL_USERS' => sprintf($l_total_user_s, $total_users),

'NEWEST_USER' => sprintf($lang['Newest_user'], '', $newest_user, ''),

'TOTAL_POSTS' => sprintf($l_total_post_s, $total_posts),

'TOTAL_TOPICS' => sprintf($lang['total_topics'], $total_topics),

)

);

Template code:

{TOTAL_USERS} {NEWEST_USER} {TOTAL_POSTS} {TOTAL_TOPICS}

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

i get this:

The newest registered user is within topics

this is all that shows nothing else when i use those codes. i tried the way you just mentioned.

how would i go about doing it from a older version maybe i be able to get it to work that way by looking at the old way from the older versions and then convert it to 2.0.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

It's all showing up for me?

Do us a favour,

Take a snapshot of your forum where you want to add this and add a sketch of what you are actually trying to do with all the details you want in it.

Because at the moment it's like working in the dark as some vars, as I explained before - don't work in all locations.

juggalo_master [ Sat 08 Sep, 2012 08:06 ]
Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

i am mostly wanting it to show up right in this block.

i want to add the total posts, users, and topics on that section.

btw the 1.4 million, 21, and 18 isn't my posts. i just started up this script like a few days ago.

those arent the stats of the forum.

Post subject: Re: Need Help Adding Link Variables

I'm no expert, but I just wasted far too much time trying to work out how IP is now put together.

phpBB3 is something that never interested me (which is the way IP is going), and learning it is something I never wanted to get involved with - - So I'm out of it.

Those informations are added to CACHE to avoid excessive MySQL charge.

Here is how you can recall them:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

	if (empty($config['max_topics']) || empty($config['max_posts']) || empty($config['max_users']) || empty($config['last_user_id']))

	{

		board_stats();

	}

	$total_topics = $config['max_topics'];

	$total_posts = $config['max_posts'];

	$total_users = $config['max_users'];

	$newest_user = $cache->obtain_newest_user();

Remember that you may need to add at least global $db, $cache, $config; if you plan to use those info within a function.
