Newbie question: how do you change chmod? I see this in other instructions too, but don't know how/where to do it...

Thanks!

BTW, I did install it. I can see the words, but not the "counter".

[Ziki]

CHMODING is changing permissions for the file.How did you upload it?VIa FTP?

Please send the link to the site.

[pabloknight]

Yes, I uploaded via FTP.
What link do you want? The FTP link?

[vietkieu_cz]

Some screenshot please?

[WaaDaa]

Some screenshot please?

[Ziki]

Yes, I uploaded via FTP.
What link do you want? The FTP link?

Please PM me the admincp login and FTP login and I fix it for ya.

[Cap'n Steve]

You chmod with whatever FTP program you're using. Try right-clicking on the file.

[Allan]

Nice idea, click install ;)

i had the same problem

when you check the properties of your broken link you get:

http:/www.burntorangefanzone.com/forums/counter/counter.php


you have to put the folder called "counter" into the root with the "counter.txt" inside it

then chmode the text file to 666

[pabloknight]

I don't have a counter folder under forums. Do I need to make one, then put the .txt and the .php file into that counter folder?

[Gunshot]

that'll fix it

[pabloknight]

Ok, I found out how to change the chmod.

Thanks everyone for your assistance! I have it working now. Thanks!

This isn't actually a code modification tho is it, it's an extension as it's uploading a file and changing a template... or did I miss an actual code mod somewhere? :)

[Ziki]

Well I first though I will only edit the index but I edit the template

[Rich]

Hello,

What does this count? Does this count unique vistors the view the site or does it count user that have logged in to the site? Does it also count spiders?

I ask because I currently am using a modifications from this site that lists all of the users that have logged in and it lists their name as well as how many users.

If this is counting "hits" on the page, I may be able to use it for my own purposes.

[Azhrialilu]

Oh I though I added the folder?Didn't I?

I meant that it's not actually changing any of the vb-default files - but uploading a new file and editing a template :)

It counts all visitors(guests,members,spiders,bots)that visited the page

You cannot distribute it without my permission

[Azhrialilu]

I think this is nice, now I'm clear there's no actual file edits *grin* I'll install it. ... you might want to get it moved to another forum - there are a lot of people who won't do file edits anymore and they'll miss out on this :)

[Rich]

Hello,

I never intended on distributing it. lol (Nor did I ever mention distributing it.)

What I said was:

If this is counting "hits" on the page, I may be able to use it for my own purposes.

(Meaning a use other than displaying it on the page for all the users to see. But rather for me to add it to one of my sites statistics pages.)

[GamerJunk.net]

Does this count all page views? Or does it identify unique visits?

[Ziki]

@iguanairs

OK then

@RasMasta

It counts all visitors(guests,members,spiders,bots)that visited the page

Can I make it clearer? ;)

[Chris M]

Moved to Extensions :)

[Ziki]

OK thanx Chris

The html for the table is coded wrong. Missing some td and table tags. And it is being placed in an incorrect spot in the template.

Jim

[Ziki]

What exact part is wrong.I don't see any prob.And cause it is nothing great is is placed pretty good ;).You can place it anywhere you want if you can.

[nicedreams]

There is no <td> and </td> around your <img src> statement. No end tag in the image.

Not sure why there is a </a> tag.

No closing </tr> and </table> tag at the end.

And it should be inserted after the </table> tag in the template, not after a </td> tag putting it in zombie zones.

Jim

[GamerJunk.net]

If I refresh it counts me again....any way to make it unique visits?

[Ziki]

Dunno I am not such an advanced.It is actualy made to count ALL visits on the particular page

[pedroenf]

I there. I have a problem with this mod. I can't see no image, instead i see the image attached. Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

[Ziki]

Did you upload the folder correctly

[lsgworldl]

I dont have an image

http://quickcheatcodes.com/forum/index.php

[Tyegurl]

yes uniques visits would be great!!

that way it only counts you once for visiting the site and not each time you do....or each time you refresh the page....

installed...

[Ziki]

@lsgworldl
IT creates an image from the php file placed in webroot/forumroot/counter

@Tyegurl
I almost finished another counter type with more features but I am to busy to finish it

[ComputerVitals]

Installed but I see no number counter.. If I look at the counter.txt I see the number climbing in the file, but no number display on the forum.
I get the text "people have visited this site"
Anyideas?

[Ziki]

Please follow the instructions step by step.

[Brandon Sheley]

is there a way to make the box the # is in, a bit smaller ?

[Ziki]

Yeah guess so but I have holidays now so I am too lazy to look into it :p

[Brandon Sheley]

np, I'll check back later, enjoy yourself :)

[Brandon Sheley]

5 days later, are you still on vacation ? :)


oh, i don't want to change my 666 post :( oh well.. it's gota happen one day..lol

[92GreenGT]

How do you get the text to show up right? Mine is showing up like this:

People
Have
Visited
This Site

Exactly like that^^ How do I get to where it shows like "People have visited this site" straight out like that? Ive got the text/counter displaying in the same location as the screenshot used in the original post. Thanks

This is what I used @ vBulletinSetup.com (http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/)

place this at the top of your footer

<!-- Start ZH hack -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">

<td>

<tr>

<font size="1">vBulletin Setup has had <img src="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/counter/counter.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow" div class="smallfont" align="center"> views</font>

</tr>

</td>
</table>

<!-- End ZH hack -->
I'd still like to make the box a little smaller :)

[Ziki]

Sorry I am not going to update this hack :)

[92GreenGT]

Thanks Loco. M :) Worked great.

[Shazz]

Sorry I am not going to update this hack :)
This means it won't work with 3.6?
And is Loco's code for the 3.6?

[Ziki]

This will work on ANY vb version definately
