Display stats

[UncleBear]

So i got a question. I am trying to code a Welcome tab for quests instead for them to scroll down and check out general stats id like to display it inside of the welcome tab. So basically i took the code from gstats template 

{lang="total_topics"}

This displays the language all fine but when i want it to display the stat number using

{number="$stats['total_topics']"}

it comes up with just a plain 0 but instead it should be like 20 or something.

 

Any ideas what i'm missing?

{{if !member.member_id}} // only shows to Guest members
  <div class="guestHeader">Welcome</div>
    <ul>
      <li>{lang="total_topics"} {number="$stats['total_topics']"} </li>
    </ul>
{{endif}}

Below code does not do its job properly. And this is located in Globaltemplate

{number="$stats['total_topics']"}

The reason its not going to work is that $stats is a variable for

$stats['total_topics']	= \IPS\Db::i()->select( "COUNT(*)", 'forums_topics', array( 'approved = ?', 1 ) )->first();

Meaning the \IPS+DB::i means with IPS Database INSERT (i()) and SELECT "count everything" from forums_topic show it as an array first

So your just saying $stats it doesn't know what your reffering too.

The last line i posted is the way that $stats will work as it does the query.

Any help at all?

Not completely sure about this as I've never tried creating my own statistics. However, here's the code from the native Forum Statistics that you should be using to create your welcome message. The PHP file is located at /applications/forums/widgets/forumStatistics.php if you need to replicate it etc.

<?php

namespace IPS\forums\widgets;

/* To prevent PHP errors (extending class does not exist) revealing path */
if ( !defined( '\IPS\SUITE_UNIQUE_KEY' ) )
{
	header( ( isset( $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] ) ? $_SERVER['SERVER_PROTOCOL'] : 'HTTP/1.0' ) . ' 403 Forbidden' );
	exit;
}

/**
 * forumStatistics Widget
 */
class _forumStatistics extends \IPS\Widget\StaticCache
{
	/**
	 * @brief	Widget Key
	 */
	public $key = 'forumStatistics';
	
	/**
	 * @brief	App
	 */
	public $app = 'forums';
		
	/**
	 * @brief	Plugin
	 */
	public $plugin = '';

	/**
	 * Render a widget
	 *
	 * @return	string
	 */
	public function render()
	{
		$stats = array();
		
		$stats['total_posts']	= \IPS\Db::i()->select( "COUNT(*)", 'forums_posts', array( 'queued = ?', 0 ) )->first();
		
		if ( \IPS\Settings::i()->archive_on )
		{
			$stats['total_posts'] += \IPS\forums\Topic\ArchivedPost::db()->select( 'COUNT(*)', 'forums_archive_posts', array( 'archive_queued = ?', 0 ) )->first();
		}
		
		$stats['total_topics']	= \IPS\Db::i()->select( "COUNT(*)", 'forums_topics', array( 'approved = ?', 1 ) )->first();
		
		return $this->output( $stats );
	}
}

Hope this helps, if at all!
