blogs counter

by **ogd39** on Tue Feb 20, 2007 7:42 am

Hello!
Would it be possible to create a blogs counter, which would show in real-time how many blogs do exist on a blogfarm?
and to meke this new data showable in a non-LT page (like "Displaying the most recent posts from all blogs" explanation in the wiki?)
Thanks

is it not difficult to add this function in fact,

but how would you fetch the data from LT to non-LT page, using Javascript?

Do you have to do it via javascript?
I guess if I were tasked with making it show up in javascript, rather than php, I'd probably make a ajax'y sort of php page that would return the number, and then it could be called via javascript.

Here comes a exmpla, I think you can extent the function by yourself easily.

=== blogcount.php ====

Code: Select all: <?php if (!defined( "PLOG_CLASS_PATH" )) { define( "PLOG_CLASS_PATH", dirname(__FILE__)."/"); } include_once( PLOG_CLASS_PATH."class/dao/blogs.class.php" ); $blogs = new Blogs(); $blogCount = $blogs->getNumBlogs(); $javaScript = "document.write("$blogCount");"; echo $javaScript; ?>

=== blogcount.html ====

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> </HEAD> <BODY> <script type="text/javascript" src="blogcount.php"></script> </BODY> </HTML>

try to put both file under your lifetype root, and type http://yourdomain.blah/blogcount.html

You will see the blog count show up in html.
