Actually if you don't need to have those users in database and you only want to change the displayed number in the mainpage then
go to your index.php file and look around line 120 which looks like:

'TOTAL_USERS' => sprintf($user->lang[$l_total_user_s], $total_users),

and change to

'TOTAL_USERS' => sprintf($user->lang[$l_total_user_s], ($total_users+880)),

Get someone to code you an insert query with random values, for like $5-$10, it's easy.

I Went to styles/prosilver/template/index_body.html file and changed

<!-- IF NEWEST_USER -->
<h3>{L_STATISTICS}</h3>
<p>{TOTAL_POSTS} • {TOTAL_TOPICS} • {TOTAL_USERS} • {NEWEST_USER}</p>
<!-- ENDIF -->

to {TOTAL_USERS}+900 , also tried {TOTAL_USERS+900}

Hello as the User ID has Auto increment go phpmyadmin and Add a User in the table Users Set his ID Manually as the number you want and the next User will geht "the number you chopsed"+1.
If that didnt work just get trial zennoposter and make a Template shutdown the captcha and create user.
If both dont work just shoot me a PM we will find a Way.

this won't work because php uses str_replace function on it, which only replaces text and does not make any calculations here
if you are aware of changing your ./index.php file you may also try runing this query

UPDATE phpbb_config set `config_value` = '1000' where `config_name` = 'num_users'

I was also wondering the same thing.

 

[jhn2001]

Okay finally i got this done ----

I opened the index.php page and changed

$total_posts = $config['num_posts'];
$total_topics = $config['num_topics'];
$total_users = $config['num_users'];

to

$total_users = $config['num_users'] + 1000;

now i will try to learn to insert queries
thanks everyone for replying

you have a forum and WANT fake users?"

because of XR and it's fake users I don't run a forum anymore!

Your posts have been terrible. Nothing more than 5 words per post I think you're just trying to increase post count.

To OP: you can use XRumer to register a whole bunch of accounts on your forum and create posts. You can also use a VA or send the work to odesk/fiverr or something similar! That is probably your best bet and it won't be too expensive.

Ahh nice OP.

Anyway to change the number of post, thread and user browsing in forum?

I wouldn't mind knowing this too. I hacked the index and includes to show a lot of information. Now all I needs is the views to increase. Should be a way to comment the code to do that as well. I been looking through the code but I am no expert. So far I can't see where I can do that. Hope someone finds it.
