This tutorial will show you how to put your forum's stats on your site.

This code should be placed at the top of your page (before the <html>tag!):

PHP Code:

<?php
    $forumpath = 'path/to/your/forum';
    chdir($forumpath);
    define("IN_MYBB", 1);
    require('./global.php');
    chdir('path/to/your/site');
?>

Then, place this wherever you want your forum's stats to be shown (a sidebar maybe?):

PHP Code:

<?php
$lang->load("global");
$stats = $cache->read("stats");    
echo("<ul>");
echo("<li>Threads: {$stats['numthreads']}</li>");
echo("<li>Posts: {$stats['numposts']}</li>");
echo("<li>Members: {$stats['numusers']}</li>");
echo("</ul>");
?>

What it should look like (minus the "Forum Stats" heading):

Like I said in the previous thread, make sure to check that you are changing the paths to that of your site.

In addition, you can use this on another domain, as long as they are all hosted on the same server.

I dont think its a problem with the code its something iv done when putting my website together to get the php to work in it, i dont have a clue what iv done to make my site :P its a complete mess xD
