I use gallery stats in the admin page but is it possible to get the image stats show on the frontpage as in "now serving <amount> images"

I got it manually but for some reason I can't get it working that it reads it from the database my php skills apparently aren't that great

`echo $_zp_gallery->getNumImages()`

many thanks
