Serendipity Forums

Hi all,

Is there some way of putting some basic stats on the front page of my blog, such as;

1 date of last entry
2 total number of entries
3 number of comments
4 number of visitors this month or totally

I want to be able to include this in my template, and don't want to create a plugin. I think all this information should already exist within the database since I'm using the stats plugin already.

If it is possible, would I be able to create an html nugget? This wouldbemy preferred mthod, or would I need to call the serendipity hooks from within (say) index.tpl or entries.tpl.

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Hi!

This won't work without creating a sidebar plugin. The statistics plugin only gathers that data on the backend, not on the frontend, so you must make a similar plugin that reads the data and prints it in the sidebar.

I've created such a plugin and committed it to SVN of the 1.0 version. You can use this plugin in your current version as well. Just download all the files from here: http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/serendipi ... statistics

(basically you only need the serendipity_plugin_statistics.php and the lang_en.inc.php file)

Garvin,

Thank you for that. I've installed your plugin on my site if anyone else would like to see how it looks in its defaul format.

Thnks for this plugin Garvin! I have one question; is it also possible to show how many users (visitors) there are currently at your site?

I just added this function to the repository, where you can fetch it. Or download the next generated nightly tarball.

And also a lot of thank-you's for this one Garvin !
