Archive stats

Hey i'm looking for a plugin or like code for display some archive stats. I mean i saw archive stats on a number of bloggs and i found them neat.

" The blog x has 3131 posts with 21313 comments in 321312 categories."

link to my archives.

 

Well, that's quite simple. All you have to do is extract the variables form the DB then display them

Try this in your sidebar.php (of course, included in a styled div or already formatted as it only displays what you wanted):

<?php
$numposts = (int) $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'");
$numcomms = (int) $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = '1'");
$numcats  = (int) $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM $wpdb->categories");

$post_str = sprintf(__ngettext('%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Posts">post</a>', '%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Posts">posts</a>', $numposts), number_format($numposts), 'edit.php');
$comm_str = sprintf(__ngettext('%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Comments">comment</a>', '%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Comments">comments</a>', $numcomms), number_format($numcomms), 'edit-comments.php');
$cat_str  = sprintf(__ngettext('%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Categories">category</a>', '%1$s <a href="%2$s" title="Categories">categories</a>', $numcats), number_format($numcats), 'categories.php');
?>
<p><?php printf(__('The blog X has %1$s with %2$s, in %3$s.'), $post_str, $comm_str, $cat_str); ?></p>

Code (markup):
