WHAT stats?   Why would you want a stats page as your front page?

Show the forumstats on the boardindex(=Frontpage if no portal installed)

- Upload the attachment wich in included on this post to your Sources folder
- Find in file Themes/{your_theme}/BoardIndex.template.php(around line 475)

Code (find) Select Expand


<span class="lowerframe"><span></span></span>';


add after:

Code (add after) Select Expand


global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/ShowStats.php');

That probably isn't the best solution as the board index has quite a few queries already. Also loading of a source file in a template may have a few undesirable effects.

True, but it is the easiest and simplified way to tell the OP what needs to be done to get the things it wants. What the OP wants is not easy to tell him if you want it the right way of coding, if then it could be the best way to make it a mod, wich i'm not intend and willing todo.

Also loading of a source file in a template may have a few undesirable effects.

Proof me wrong? The code i posted has in my eyes no vulnerable effects!

well, for one, it violates smf coding standards...
