Hmm.. You just need to know which users are counted in your other stats module. Which stats module are you using?
The problem is that you can count users in many different ways; you can count them all, you may leave out those who haven't logged in yet, or you may just count registered users and not admins (with many variations to this one). Every module/component can do this in it's own way.
The only solution is to look at the source code of your stats module and do the same in Fireboard.
Default templates get user count and latest user from Joomla, so no sync is needed. The problem may be that FB does not do it in a right way in some environments (Joomla version, other modules).
1) Latest user works in J1.5.5+. Do you have phpmyadmin or Easy SQL for Joomla? Just check the contents of jos_users.activation field. If it's something else than '' (empty string) for registered users, there may be an easy way to correct this issue.
2) This should update on every new user: there is no reason why not. This is because it just counts how many items are in jos_users table (before my change above). And every user must be in that table, otherwise it does not exist for Joomla. The only exception could be that your template messes things up. Just make sure that there is no directory called plugin/stats in your template. If it does exist, remove or rename it.
EDIT:
on 1) check also that jos_users.block = 0, not something else. You may want to make this query:
| Code: |
SELECT id, name, usertype, block, activation, registerDate, lastvisitDate FROM jos_users WHERE block!=0 OR activation!=''
|
and look if there are too many users.
