MyBB Community Forums

Hey all. I would like to require a page which calls some data from a mysql database (one i've created) and writes the data to certain variables. And then i'd like to print one of these variables (called $hits) on the forum. I would like to encorporate this into the template at the bottom after "RSS Syndication". I have tried doing it like how it would be done in a normal php page but i have had no luck with it. How do i use php within my forum to require the file and print(echo()) the data?

In global.php, before this line:

eval("\$footer = \"".$templates->get("footer")."\";");

Add this:

require_once '<your file here>';

Then in the footer template, add $hits where you want to.

Make sure that the file you 'require' does not make any output (print/echo) by itself.

groovy thanks alot it worked
