Looks very nice actually - any chance of adding this to a 3.5.6 board?
ALSO any screen caps?
Nice share - Thanx

Jacquii.

Edit: oops didn't realize... 1st post = YAY!

[yui333]

very nice, thanks!

[Hellraider]

The Preview Edition runs only on vB 3.6.x.

But the Professional Edition runs with vB 3.5.2 and newer.


Please try the following to install vBStatistiv Preview Edition in vB 3.5.2 or newer (this has not been teste --> first create backups!):

Try to delete the following parts out of file
product-vBStatistic Preview_english.xml:


executionorder="0"


In version 3.6 (and 3.62) there were changes in some structures in the product xml file. Amongst other changes you can now define an order of execution for plugins. Ordering is set via table entry executionorder.

vB table plugin doesn't contain this field in version 3.5 so there may be errors with the non modified version of vB Statistic Preview Edition.

[Barakat]

thanks

[projectego]

Looks awesome, thanks!

[PoetJA-1975]

hmmm - just looked at the demo version on your site. Looks suspiciously like PsiStats with a few more options and advancements...

Looks nice though. Don't think I'll be shelling out any EUROS for the professional version..... Yet anyway.

Discuss the differences and advantages between this hack and PsiStats please.

Thanx,

Jacquii.

[redlabour]

Arrrgghhhh ..... who the Hell is voting this Hack so bad ?? Just a few Hours online and online 3 Stars standing ? Before i voted there was only one.

This Statistic was and is the best and greatest Statistic for vB ever. Good to see that there is a lite Version now.

[PoetJA-1975]

WOW! Hellraiser - that's an AWESOME list of features! Gosh - if I have the extra monies to spend for this one... Also ((just for you to know)) I haven't even clicked install yet - let alone vote...

Another question: By "modules" do you mean this modification can be customized like a CMS of some sort?

Anyway - this looks TOTALLY AWESOME - any chance of a ghetto discount? :P

Thanx for responding to my questions!

Jacquii.

[Hellraider]

There are no liberies of ip-to-country included in vBStatistic.

BTW: This (http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/node/view/62) is the license to the whois-function within vBStatistic.

But I will tell the author of vBStatistic to check this once again, thanks for your invention.

[Hellraider]

Another question: By "modules" do you mean this modification can be customized like a CMS of some sort?
Look at the ACP screenshots here (http://www.vbstatistic.com/showpost.php?p=1067&postcount=4) to see, what you can "customize" within vBStatistic Professional Edition.



Anyway - this looks TOTALLY AWESOME - any chance of a ghetto discount? :P

Thanx for responding to my questions!

Jacquii.
Ghetto discount? No, but there is also a BASIC Edition available ;)

[smoknz28]

Installed with ease.... ;)

Thanks for sharing this with us. I could never get psiStats to work after several attempts.

The installation and what is featured in your version of vBStatic works well for what I was looking for.

Thanks again for sharing.

[Hellraider]

Just talked to PcFreak:


All functions of vBStatistic are in compliance with the the IP-to-country-database licenses.

vBStatistic doesn't connect to any external database to retrieve the information that should be displayed, neither to the ip-to-country database nor to the RIPE database or any other database. vBStatistic has only stored the available IP ranges and the corresponding top level domains that are freely available also in a whole bunch of other commercial products. The rountines to display this details are written by PcFreak himself.

[djjeffa]

dose this put a load on the server

[bang]

and I fail to see the commercial purposes of a free hack.

[bang]

I think I'll go for the professional edition when it has better english translation. the current one looks like it was done using one of those shitty online translators

[akanevsky]

and I fail to see the commercial purposes of a free hack.

The professional edition is not free, and the free one does not seem to have a country statistics module.

[redlabour]

The professional edition is not free,

Sure - but the Professional one is amazing. :)

BTW - has anyone here Problems with this Preview Edition and vBSEO ?

I think I'll go for the professional edition when it has better english translation. the current one looks like it was done using one of those shitty online translators

Then help translate it and send Errors at http://www.vbstatistic.com.

[akanevsky]

Sure - but the Professional one is amazing.

That may very well be, but it's not the point of the post.

[Hellraider]

dose this put a load on the server

Logging: 1 to 4 querries (after first logging only via cookie)

Display of statistic pages: 1 querry

Data is stored in datastore (this datastore is updated in a period of time that can be set in ACP)



EDIT: Settings in ACP are only available in Basic and Professional Edition of vBStatistic. Thanx to hIBEES for his valid objection.

[Hellraider]

I think I'll go for the professional edition when it has better english translation. the current one looks like it was done using one of those shitty online translators

No online or software translator has been used. All phrases were translated manually.

You're welcome to give improvements on the english translation.


BTW: You are the first one who complains about the english translation. Can you give examples of "wrong" translated phrases?

[Hellraider]

No examples on "wrong" translated phrases after more than 1 week of complaining?

*wonderingaboutbang* :cool: :rolleyes:

[Bison]

No sense in installing a hack that guest can see. You could at least provide permissions with this version.

[Bounce]

Where do you change the start date of your forums ??

Weve been online 4 years and its showing as 07-08-06 lol

Where does it pull this info from ?

Installed with ease thou :cool:

Edit: also your read me is wrong.. link is vbstatistic_preview.php and not vbstatistic.php ;)

[TeddyKGB]

Yeah mine shows I've been up for 2 days but we are almost a year old. Odd.

I'd be interested in knowing where it pulls that info from.

[Bounce]

(this datastore is updated in a period of time that can be set in ACP) where in admin cp ?

[Hellraider]

You can change the start date of forum as follows:


Go the the following URL:

http://www.unixtime.de/index.php?

Enter desired start date and time and click on button "Realzeit nach Unixzeit". Copy code after "Unix Zeitstempel in sec.:".

Open file vbstatistic_overview_preview.php in folder vbstatistic_preview. SEARCH for code:


$installdate = strtotime($installdate_res); // Installdate convert to unixtime


REPLACE this code with the following code (UNIXTIME has to be replaced with the copied code from above):


$installdate = 'UNIXTIME'; // Installdate convert to unixtime



After replacing the code it has to look something like (e.g. for 01.01.2000 at 12:00:00 o'clock):


$installdate = '946724400'; // Installdate convert to unixtime



Save the changed file and upload the file on your webspace. After the next dataupdate of vBStatistic the new start date of the forum will be taken over.

[Hellraider]

where in admin cp ?

Shame on me :cool:

Sorry, this information belongs only for the Basic and Professional Edition of vBStatistic. The Preview Edition has no ACP settings. I have edited my posting above. Thanks for your exception.

[Hellraider]

Yeah mine shows I've been up for 2 days but we are almost a year old. Odd.

I'd be interested in knowing where it pulls that info from.

Starttime of the forum is acquired of creation from table "upgradelog".
It is readout when table has been created and modified.

Date of creation is the starttime.
Date of modification is the updatetime.

[Bounce]

You can change the start date of forum as follows:


After the next dataupdate of vBStatistic the new start date of the forum will be taken over.

Thank you worked a treat :)

LOL no problem at all,merry christmas :cool:

*Installed*

[maxicep]

thanks.

[z0diac]

I'm new to vB (just installed it a week ago) and this is my first add-on...

what directory do all the files in 'upload' go to? I put it in my includes directory.

I selected the xml file and clicked import, and it seemed to import properly - but how do I view the stats?

(there was no instructions on where to upload the files to so I'm hoping I choose the correct directory)

[extreme-mobile]

apparently im banned from the vbstatistic forum, dont know why cos ive never registerd there before lol

Upload vbstatistic_preview.php and folder vbstatistic_preview in your root of your forum: File vbstatistic_preview.php has to be in folder containng files ajax.php, announcement.php, attachment.php amongst others. Folder vbstatistic_preview has to be placed in the same directory.

In the statistic box of vB (at bottom of page) you will find a link to vBStatistic.

[Hellraider]

apparently im banned from the vbstatistic forum, dont know why cos ive never registerd there before lol
You are not banned ;)
Where exactly do you get this 'banned" message? Seems to be a problem with our usergroup rights.

Problem with usergroup rights has hopefully :rolleyes: been fixed (PcFreak has just run an update).

[Hellraider]

Edit: your read me is wrong.. link is vbstatistic_preview.php and not vbstatistic.php ;)

Just fixed :)

[Bounce]

Just fixed :)

Just bought pro :D

Many thanks mate,impressive stuff, I would recommend anyone who does not have it to get it :)

[Hellraider]

I'm glad that you like the Professional Edition :)

[Bounce]

Thanks for providing it :)

It only cost me ?27.95 GPD,for that it is amazing, more than a webalizer can do IMHO :D

[pkallberg21]

Hello!

I have just tried to install this several times, and I cannot get it to work :S I install everything correctly, but when I go to http://www.mydomain.com/forum/vbstatistic_preview.php I only get a white page. What am I doing wrong?

Thx.

[Hellraider]

vBSEO installed?

[pkallberg21]

No, does it have to be for the mod to work?

Thanks.

[Hellraider]

No, but vBSEO is known to cause conflicts whilst using vBStatistic.

Do you use a CMS? If yes, check the path where you have uploaded the vBStatistic files.

Also check the following:

ACP --> Plugin Manager --> Manage Plugins -->

vBStatistic can (dependent on the version of vBStatistic; Preview, Basic and Professional version) use up to five plugins in different hooks:

* vBStatistic - Forumhome Start forumhome_start
* vBStatistic - Global Complete (Start JS Logging)
* vBStatistic - Global Start (Start Logging)
* vBStatistic - WOL Location Process
* vBStatistic - WOL Location Unknown

Try to deactivate all of these plugins and take a look, if the white page still appears. If not, then re-activate one(!) plugin and take a look, if the white page appears. If not, re-activate the next plugin until the white page appears again. Perhaps the white page appears if one of the following plugins is re-activated:

* vBStatistic - Forumhome Start forumhome_start
* vBStatistic - Global Complete (Start JS Logging)
* vBStatistic - Global Start (Start Logging)

If this is the case search for another hack that uses the same hook. If you can find another hack using the same hook as vBStatistic, try to change the order of execution. Maybe a plugin has to be run before or after vBStatistic to solve the white page problem.

Really awesome.

Once my forum lost all its data and we had to restart it, we then added the number of lost posts in the actual total, but here it's showing only the actual total, not the added ones, can I do something that it shows the total with the added ones?

Like it's showing 76000 posts, not showing 5000 more that we added.

[ninjamaster]

thanks nice work

We'll have a look at your "problem". Stay tuned . . .

[Eagle Creek]

Looks nice!

Who is able to see this info? Everyone? All of it?
Where can I find the exact differences between preview / basic / professional?
Can I disable some information? (for example php/mysql version)
Is there a Dutch version? When I have to translate over 1000 phrases I'm dead before I'm done :o.

[Hellraider]

The vBStatistic Preview Edition is visible for all guests and members of your forum.

Within this (http://www.vbstatistic.com/showthread.php?t=85) thread you can see the list of features of vBStatistic Basic Edition.

There is no dutch version available at the moment, sorry. All versions of vBStatistic are available in English and German at the moment.

[blind-eddie]

Very Nice...Installed....Also Nominated as MOTM

[Hellraider]

Thanks for nominating vBStatistic Preview Edition for MOTM :)

[kollam003]

very good hack thanks but i had to uninstall it coz guest and all memebrs can see it there is no option only for admins .....

anyway good work

[z0diac]

OK, I just installed this, but for some reason I keep getting a Cannot Display Page error when it tries to go to the vbstatistic_preview.php file. Yes it's in my forum root directory.

[root@area53 htdocs2]# ll vbstatistic_preview.php
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4179 Nov 26 2006 vbstatistic_preview.php

Does it need any special permissions? I copied it over using WinSCP which uses root to xfer files. What would the chmod be to make it readable?

that file should not be owned by root but your webuser ....


chown webuser:webgroup *.php

[z0diac]

??? All my vB php files are root and work fine - even all my other add-ons/hacks:

eg. of my forum root:

[z0diac]

Ok, I uninstalled vbstatistic preview, and deleted the files, then re-uploaded them through the site's own FTP account instead of by root.

Now I have:
drwxr-xr-x 5 icedogfans psacln 4096 Oct 1 22:48 vbstatistic_preview
-rw-r--r-- 1 icedogfans psacln 4315 Oct 1 22:47 vbstatistic_preview.php
[root@area53 htdocs2]#

I imported the xml file, went fine.

Still can't load up this file: http://forum.icedogfans.com/vbstatistic_preview.php

It IS sitting right there in the root directory.

Ideas?

[pjan]

nice hack.I will put in my site.thanks

[edgemedia]

Will this ever be Released for VB 4.1 ?
