Here's the newest version, it's only been a year and a half since the last update!

Translations have been removed as it just made it easy for people to get the hack even without a license. I am hoping people who make translations will be kind enough to post here.

Special Note: I am about as far as it gets from a PHP guru. This is my first hack or addon or whatchamacallit. If this somehow nukes your system Im quite apologetic, but I know you will all be smart enough to BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS.. I have faith :) Brad and Chen have both checked this out and given their stamps on it but that doesnt mean it will all Gel for you. Be smart, back it up.

Install: There is a self install file that takes care of the templates and tables, simply unzip the package and upload it (with paths) to your vbulletin directory. Then run the install. Please be sure you add your site (yoursite.com) to the excluded urls in the CP. If you dont your site will get counted as a referrer and that can get messy.

Demo: You can of course see the demo at http://www.talkloud.net/ however if you'd like to see it in use on some other boards check out vbstats page (http://www.influx9.com/vbstats/index.php?apl=sitelist) where I will try to keep a list of installs for you to check out. If you do install it please let me know so I can put your site up!

I tested this on my test forum, and on one public forum, and all went well, if there are any problems you notice please report them here as soon as possible.

DEAR GOD CHECK THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!!!!

[Bane]

This Space Reserved for Already Asked Questions:

In my referrer list my site shows up as a referrer?
In your control panel for vbStats, add your forum name (no www!) to the exclude URLs. If you wish to add other domains you don't want tracked on the referrer list, add these here as well.
eg - www.microsoft.com = microsoft.com


My vbstats shows Division by Zero repeated on the top!
You may want to check to insure you included the vbscounter.php file in your phpinclude template.
include("./vbs_counter.php");


Where can I change the colors, settings, etc..?
If you made the admin cp hack then you can change it in your control panel under the new option vbStats Settings.

If not go run the file vbstats_set.php, it should be in your vBulletin admin directory.


I have opted not to modify any VB php files, so how do I add these domains to the exclude list?

Simply point your browser to your vb admin directory address and run the file vbstats_set.php?action=add


What are excluded domains anyhow?

Excluded domains are domains that are not counted as referrers. They wont show up in your referrer list or on the link queue.

What versions does it work with?

Currently working splendid on all 2.x versions to date. Though if you are running anything before 2.0.3 you should make sure you have done the security fix.

Can I display Stats on my main forum page?

Do you know if it will work on vb2.0.1?

btw...very nice hack

[amykhar]

Amy

[BradC]

Worked great for me to!

Great job Bane! :)

[amykhar]

Ok. Found a minor gripe. I can fix it for mine, but you might want to fix this in the real thing as well.

I don't think hidden forums should be listed on the list of popular threads and forums. I also tweaked it so that categories don't show up in the popular forums list. That's probably just personal preference though. :)

It's a wonderful hack, and I thank you.

Amy

[CoolaShacka]

all the links in CP and www.myforum.com/vbstats.php shows me a blank Page.
Why?

[amykhar]

Here's a tip for active forums :D

Before I could type in the excluded domains, I got several hits from them. When I excluded them, they still remained in the database, just didn't accrue new hits.

I had to go manually remove them from the database to get them off the list.

Such is the price of popularity :D

Amy

[Bane]

amykhar: I will see how the private forums are done and fix that. also the excludes :)

CoolaShacka: Are you actually linking to www.myforum.com/vbstats.php?

Fixed this in the downloads.. Thanks Tom :D How was the translation? ok?

[orca]

Erm where do I change the color3 etc.? :D

[Bane]

If you made the admin cp hack then you can change it in your control panel.

If not go run the file vbstats_set.php, it should be in your vbulletin admin directory.

[orca]

I'm so st...Anyway, the color blues is hardcoded, why?

Well, it's a great hack. It's just the blue which looks a bit ugly...

[Bane]

LOL, sorry about that orca, I will fix that. For now you can change it in the templates. :)

[DarkReaper]

Arrgh...could ya fix the blue? :)

What's the link queue? And it doesn't appear to be counting hits or anything for me. I keep going to pages on the forums but it says 0 for everything.

[Bane]

Where is black hardcoded?

As far as the blue you can change this in the templates for now, I will fix this very soon.

For those who dont like that. Should I just make it a $color3 or give it its own class?

[Don ->LKSAB]

Works great :-)

www.lksab.com/forum/vbstats.php

One small problem!!!
Click on [Countries].
Alot of hits from El Salvador.
But all of thoes hits are from Sweden not from El salvador!!!

/Don

[BigSjedow]

7. Be sure to add this line to your phpinclude template:

include("vbs_counter.php");

in what file is that ?? Or were ??

[DarkReaper]

Don't remember seeing that include in the instructions...added it and its working fine :)

What is the link queue?

BigSjedow: You add that line to your phpinclude template.

[Bane]

Hmm.. Sweden has the code <se> El Salvadors is <se> not sure why they would show up, unless its the same person and he set up his encoding to el salvador?

BigSjedow: In your vB admin panel click on style and in the fonts/colors/etc.. you can find the phpinclude template fairly easily.

Uh Bane? Read what you just posted :D se = se

[DarkReaper]

Ah, cool. Would there be any way to make it configurable so the hit numbers won't be shown, as with some other things, but percentages will? Or have a way to make it so admins and super mods can view all the stats, but regular members/guests can only see percentages? I'm not into having the hit counts on my site public knowledge :)

[Bane]

LMAO El Salvador = SV :p Sorry about that.

[Don ->LKSAB]

Its not the same people!!

The most of my users are from sweden.
And all of us show up as El Saldvador.

I will look at doing this. See how much effort it is :D

Don: I realize they arent the same. Im not sure why they are registering as El Salvador. When you go to my country page (http://www.talkloud.net/forums/vbstats.php?action=country) is it showing any Sweden hits? Or moving up El Salvador?

[Don ->LKSAB]

Went to your page.
Did some refresh and El Salvador mooved up 5 hits.
No Sweden.

/Don

[Bane]

I really have no idea why this is occuring, I know its the encoding but until I have a steady way of checking each I dont know what to do about it. Since I don't have anyone from El Salvador to test this for me I suppose you could change the table in PHPMyAdmin from El Salvador to Sweden.

I know the codes are correct in the script. And the detection process works as well (or seems to) I have a problem with some people coming up with english encoding that shouldnt, but until now the only people that occured with were people that were *using* english encoding.

[Don ->LKSAB]

Can i change the countries in the setup script and run it again??

/Don

[Bane]

If you run the uninstall first that will work yes..

[jrwap]

Great Hack.

It was very easy to install and works well. I must agree, the text colors should be configurable.

Thanks,

-JRW

[Don ->LKSAB]

Did a uninstall changed Sweden/El salvador in the install script.

And then renamed the flag files.

Now it works greate!!!!

/Don

[Pilot]

I installed it but have some questions/comments.

Step 5 - need to clarify that subdirectories under /images are used.

Step 7 - took me a little while to find this as I don't know much about templates.

Step 8 - Don't know where to do this - I have opted not to modify any VB php files - ie not to install the optional hacks - so how do I add these domains to the exclude list?

(Why is this needed anyhow?)

Can you also explain how to add the optional hacks in the "install.txt" file so I can later revisit this without re-running the install script?

It looks good - some problems - it shows 2301 threads new in last 24 hours and 36 new views (no way!).

I think the last 24 hr views and threads numbers might be mixed up.

PS - What is a link queue? What is the "activity level"?

Any idea of the performance overhead of this hack?

How much still works if you leave out the phpinclude part (which presumably cuts the overhead)?

You definitely need to exclude hidden forums (order value of 0) and obviously don't show information about threads that they can't normally see (eg forums they have no access to).

The security issues are rather problematic and I can't let my users see this until they are sorted.

Great hack for admins though. When you update it please include instructions on what's needed to upgrade for existing users of the hack.

[Bane]

Added to Asked Questions

Good Idea

I think the last 24 hr views and threads numbers might be mixed up.

Will check

Any idea of the performance overhead of this hack?

No one that has installed it has noticed anything.

[Bane]

the phpinclude part is what updates the counter.

Take that out it wont track countries, referrers, browser, os, etc.. only what vB tracks by default.

Never mind. Figured it out. Nice job! :D

yep good work mate, I got it sorted...and yes I did run the install, give me some credit here :D

[badmeetsevil-]

Great hack! Love it!

[patvdv]

Just installed the vbstats (superb) hack. But the hits generated from my *.be (belgium) domain are counted against Germany (*.ge). Any ideas?

[Don ->LKSAB]

Do a uninstall and change the country names :-)

Then rename the flag images.

/Don

[Bane]

Belgium lists fine on mine.

Are you using German encoding?

[patvdv]

I don't know if that will work because the install script has the right values:

Belgium -> .be
Germany -> .de (not .ge, my mistake)

How would swapping these around fix things?

[patvdv]

Bane,

My Internet Explorer is set to 'en-us'. Or do you mean something else?

[Dalius]

I LOVE YOU BANE

;)

[Bane]

When you installed windows and picked a country I suppose :D

I am going to rewrite the way it detects countries. I thought encoding would be much better but it seems a mess.

I'll install it later, i'm having probs with my databse! :(

[Pilot]

My country list looks fairly accurate. Whatever you do some people will wrongly use the defaults which tend to be the US.

[Bane]

I'm going to release a new version in just a minute with the forum exclusions, fixed the hard coded colors, etc..

As far as the countries, Im going to write a two tiered system for that to try to make it as accurate as possible, but that will be a while.. my head hurts atm :) Gonna play some football.

[patvdv]

How about Alka Seltzer? :D

[Bane]

Whoops :( All fixed in the new upload..

[Delhaze]

Problem:
All browsers are being picked up as "Other".
(Windows 2000 Server SP2. PHP 4.06 isapi)

I changed getenv("HTTP_USER_AGENT") to $GLOBALS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"] and it seems to fix it.

This also effect the OS detection.

Is it likely to effect others as well ?
If so what else should I try changing.

Also how would I keep unconfirmed users from showing up as newest member.

[Bane]

Check out vbstats.php?action=info

This is what I used to check vars. if these work they work :) If not you need to change that setting in your code.


The new user thing is actually the same code vb uses on the forumhome.

[Delhaze]

All blank. :(

Anymore no why getenv isn't working on my server, maybe a php.ini change needed ?

Oh yes, forgot I'd modified the new user thing there already.

[Delhaze]

Just found this on php.net.

Note: This function does not work in ISAPI mode

Thats a bit of a bummer to say the least.

[drumsy]

How about an uninstall, does that come equipped???

[WizyWyg]

I just downloaded it and THERE is no install_vbstats.php in the zip file.

I downloaded it again, to be sure and nope, no install_vbstats.php

[Nemesis77]

I installed this for a friend on his board. I'm testing it now by trying different browsers, but all browsers are being picked up as Internet Explorer.

I tried change the getenv to $Global is suggested in a previous post but still didn't work. ANy other Ideas

Great hack BTW. thanks

still get these


7. Be sure to add this line to your phpinclude template:

include("vbs_counter.php");

[floleb7]

why vbstats don't use style colors ?
if there are 2 or more styles you cannot have perfect color for each

[floleb7]

<a href="http://www.latriade.net/forum/vbstats.php" target="_blank">http://www.latriade.net/forum/vbstats.php</a>

if i use vbstats thru admin pannel there is no prob to see but directly i have allways this.

[Silviu]

I have two questions for you:

a) what is the phpinclude template? where can i find it? what is its name? :)

b) it seems that vbstats is working partially (except "division by zero" part), but after i've performed all changes described in installation script, i've realized that there is no link inserted in forum control panel or somewhere. are there any changes to be performed to see vbstats link directly on forum instead of typing it manually?

Thanks in advance.

[amykhar]

Bane, I hate to be a nudge, but private forums still show up in the top forums list. The code for the query looks the same. I'll poke around a bit and see if I can't figure out the query you want. :)

Amy

[pogo]

<font color="red">Silviu</font> a) The name of the phpinclude template is phpinclude. You will find it in the template part of your CP.

b) Just insert a link die vbstats.php where you want to see it.

Amy

I hope u find it soon... It isn`t nice to see the private Forums in the statistics...

[Lesane]

aah....a very tight hack man, thnx. The hack runs very good and very well only 1 lil problem:

You have a link by the numbers of staff by Members Stats:
showmods.php?s=

Showmods.php dont exists :(

[DarkReaper]

That's another addition called "Show admin groups"

do a search for it :)

[Silviu]

10x Pogo. :)

Btw, i've added ShowMods and it's working pretty smooth. Bane, great job with this hack.

[amykhar]

Here's a bit of what you want to do to exclude private forums. Find in vbstats.php:

$topthreadmax=$incoming[topthreadmax];

Insert this right after that:
$eaex = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT exforum FROM vbstats_options");

Then, change the various popular threads and forums queries. example:

$topthread3 = mysql_query("select * from forum where allowposting<>0 and forumid not in ($eaex[exforum]) order by replycount DESC limit $topthreadmax");

This just a rough draft of a fix. I suggest you all wait until Bane updates before fixing this yourself unless you know what you are doing. :)

Amy

[Bane]

Whoops, I slept a bit late today.. let me wake up and look at all the problems a bit.

[Bane]

Amy: I put the old file right back in.. its fixed now.

drumsy: Uninstall works splendid.

WizyWyg: When you extract the zip, it will be pathed. When you go into the directory you unzipped into, take a look into the /admin directory. the install_vbstats.php file should be in there.

Floleb7: Style colors would have been great, I probably should have used only that. But I wanted the numbers configurable seperately. I should mention again however that since vbstats is made for vbulletin, everything is modified by templates. You will find the vbstats templates in the same place as the rest of them, you can change the colors there if you wish.

Silviu: The division by zero error is from having no info, when you include the file in your phpinclude or global.php you will stop getting that error :) and just make a link off your forums to vbstats.php and you should be fine.

Lesane: Thats Kiers showmods.php hack... I guess my way of saying everyone should have it :p

Delhaze: :D Thanks for your button program, hehe, it doesn't work for me, but what an addition to the community!.. I would love once I get this working for everyone in a stable manner to figure out the switches with you to make it work on windows based servers, feel free to grab my ICQ or shoot me an email. I believe this would benefit some others as well.

Thanks to everyone for picking up my slack a bit. The download is updated (again) I'm still working on a better country detection method that doesnt default to .com and such. Once again thanks for being patient with me.

The new color4 and exforum settings can be set in the control panel.

[Justice]

ah, finally the long awaited stats hack.

Is the private forums thing fixed in the install? I'll wait til then before installing...

thanks Bane

[dxb]

first of all thank you very much for this lovely hack Bane

I'm having troble with the memberrefer and I've seen the same problem with Don ->LKSAB on the second page of this hack

http://www.lksab.com/forum/vbstats.php?action=memberrefer

and it dose not seem to be tracking the memberrefer

other than that everything is working fine

[Bane]

Justice: You can exclude forums you dont wish to show by entering the forumid in the control panel. :D

dxb: Do you have the referral system turned on in vbulletin? Check this in options.

[dxb]

yes it was turned off and i turned it on and tried sending email using the refer system but still no change in the memberrefer list

[Bane]

dxb I just registered.. but didnt see the referrer box?

[MarkB]

Originally posted by Bane

I've tried that for categories, which were showing up, but no luck... any ideas?:) Or is it a different tweak?

Still lovin' it! :p

[dxb]

I'm sorry Bane I dont know what you mean ... where your supposed to see the reffere box do you mean the user info page

[Bane]

MarkB: I just tried it on my forum and it works? It excludes any forumid I put in.

dxb: When a user registers, if the referrer system is on it will show a box that says [referrer] where you can put who referred you to the board. I saw no such box?

When you check referrers in your vB Admin panel does it show anything? [Users | Referrals]

[dxb]

Silly me Bane I was trying to register while I'm logged on

anyway the conflict is cleared :) now it's working fine ...

and I love your work :)

thanks

[Bane]

dxb: Glad it's all worked out for you man. :)

Is the new version working fine for everyone?

[Delhaze]

I will be happy to work with you to solve the current Win2K issues. I'm a little busy right now with vbutton online but I will contact you shortly.

[Bane]

Sounds good Del :)

[DarkReaper]

Eh...I'm running Win2k...what are the issues?

[amykhar]

Bane,
The control panel has the place to input excluded forums; however, nothing in the queries for the top threads and posts in vbstats.php checks for those excluded forums.

I patched mine, but I checked your zip again, and it's still not there. My hidden forums show up when I use your vbstats.zip.

Perhaps you haven't got the right vbstats.php in the zip?

Amy

[Bane]

Amy: I just downloaded from the zip on here.. and found the line..

For your forums you dont have on line 463?
$topthread3 = mysql_query("select * from forum where allowposting <> 0 $exclude1 order by replycount DESC limit $topthreadmax");

When did you download this zip?

[MarkB]

Hiya

I just double checked mine, even made sure the forum id's were in numerical order, and they're still showing up...

If you look, 'The Hosted' (which is a category) is showing when I don't want it to - could it be because I want forums within it to show?

http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/vbstats.php?action=topthreads

[Bane]

I notice on the bottom yours still says vbStats 2.01, did you try the new download out? You should just have to reupload the files, but it may fix your problem.

[jrwap]

It says "vbStats 203.1 created by Bane for Talkloud.NET" for me and it is still showing the private forums. I did put the forum id's in the control panel and its still not working.
I don't know much about this, but I know that Overgrow's search engine hack correctly excludes private forums. You may want to look at that code.

Other than that, this is a great hack.

Thanks,

-JRW

[Bane]

erg.. typo for me.. if your hack says 203.1 it will *not* exclude the proper forums. Try the new download and see if you have more success. It is v.203.2

[MarkB]

I have 203.1 running (same version??), and thought I'd uploaded the latest one. I'll double check though :)

[MarkB]

Ach so! Ok, shall double check :) Wee!

[jrwap]

Do I have to do an uninstall and then reinstall? I simply uploaded the 5 files and its still showing private forums as well as threads from private forums. This is for 203.2

Also, is there any reason why forum categories show up? I would think that categories that don't act as forums wouldn't show.

-JRW

[Bane]

I'm gonna go ahead and look at overgrows.. this was working correctly earlier and now is not. :( Give me about an hour.. sorry folks

[MarkB]

I had to uninstall and reinstall for mine to work - but one category I've 'disabled' is still showing :(

But not to matter :) It's a small niggle in an otherwise-excellent hack! :D

[jrwap]

Yeah, I had one private forum removed (was actually the category), but the actual forum still shows up along with the threads from that forum.

I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks for the support !!

-JRW

Let me get this straight.. lol, yours is working except for one category?

[Sukij]

HI..

Just finish install 203.2. (New install)

1. After click on Staff : xx link, the browser shows

The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

2. The Exclude Forum is not seem to work. Even I put the Forum ID, it's still show in Forum/Thread page.

Please help.

[Bane]

The staff link will only work if you have Kier's Showmods hack installed.. was fairly stupid of me to leave it in there, but there it is..

The excluded forums I am working on right now.

[MarkB]

Originally posted by Bane

Two categories now... VERY weird :)

[Nemesis77]

I installed this for a friend on his board. I'm testing it now by trying different browsers, but all browsers are being picked up as Internet Explorer.

I tried change the getenv to $Global is suggested in a previous post but still didn't work. ANy other Ideas

Great hack BTW. thanks

[MApI]

FANTASTIC hack, man. Works greatly, with easy and troubleless installation. Thnks !!!

[Bane]

I uploaded the newest package :D It works swell on my board. Let me know what you all think. The problem wasnt it not excluding forums but that it would only exclude the first one :(

That is fixed :) FireFly gave me a hand with it last night. It also doesnt show catagories by default now. (I hope :p)

The other thing I fixed is taking out the default link to kiers showmods hack.

Assuming this version works Im open for suggestions from here.

[floleb7]

the stats change with server date or vb settings ?

[Bane]

Server

[floleb7]

hum how i can modify this for setting in my update time ?

[Bane]

What exactly are you trying to update?

[floleb7]

hum nothing i was thinking that stats will update each 24H
little mistake :D

I just grabbed the latest download :) You got it. Works great.

Amy

[Cruz]

silly me....fixed it :D

[RobAC]

Bane,

Did you add any new features to the latest update? :D

[Bane]

Mostly that the exclude Forums work properly :D

Also removed the showmods thing.

I'm taking suggestions now for 203.3 or 204.1 whichever the case may be. :p

[Silviu]

I've edited vbstats status template to re-insert the link to Kier's ShowMods... Perhaps you should ask in the install script if this link should be inserted or not into the status page because many of us have already Kier's hack and it's not very cool to remove this link for good. :)

Suggestions:

a) Show user's posts counts for every forum category
b) Display total posts count for every forum category
c) Statistics about attachments (per user, per forum, per total)
d) Extend tops by adding aditional pages :)

All these are not quite useful in many cases, but what the heck, i'm trying right? :p

[jrwap]

Seems to work great now.

Thanks alot,

-JRW

[Scott MacVicar]

i just noticed that the session is not passed in any part of vbstats, this has caused problems with some of my users and they just get logged out after visiting the stats page.

[Animaniac1217]

I compeltely rewrote the thread section so that it doesn't show threads the user does not have access to. If anyone is interested PM me and we could work something out, since it took a lot of time.

[Bane]

I wasnt aware they were still showing up, if they are it should be a pretty simple fix, I'm not sure what would have taken you "a lot of time" and what something exactly are you trying to "work out"?

[TheComputerGuy]

i got mine working

VBSTATS powered by Bane (http://www.webmafiaforums.com/vbstats.php)

[BluSmurf]

This has got to be one of the most famous hacks ever!!! Thanx alot to Bane :p

Here's my suggestions to the next update
1) Change the detect country encoding to IP detection. That should fix the correct country listing. If it is unable to dns the IP and get the country then it should be categorize as unknown country :D (maybe set it as an option for users who want this since it might create a heavy load during peak period)

2) Hit count by unique IP and also forums impressions.

I'm still using the first version and it's working great, will update once this features are implemented ;)

[Bane]

Computer Guy: Looks great :) Some path problems with your flag images though?

BluSmurf: What Im going to try to do for countries is allow people three choices.

1 - DNS Country Detection (no .com .net etc.. all non country are reverse - thus unknown)

2 - Encoded detection scheme (as used now, in all its flawed glory)

3 - Two tiered (Check DNS if non identified check encoding)

I will have uniques tracked in the next version, I believe, may be a few days =D

[Sukij]

HI..

If the Forum is behind the Firewall, can it still detect the correct countries ?

I have serveral internal staff access to Forum from Singapore, Malaysia but all show in United State or United Kingdom. There is no Singapore or Malaysia shown in the statistics.

What should I do ?

[DarkReaper]

What about the option of hiding the numbers except to admins, and only showing moderators/members the percentages?

[Bane]

Sukij: Not sure on the firewall, but the country detection schemes are messed up anyway. In the next version I will fix this.

DarkReaper: I will look at this as well.

[patvdv]

Bane,

If you are looking for sites to add to your vbstats page:

http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/vbstats.php (it's Belgian :))

[DarkReaper]

Suggestion: In addition to logging domain referrals, log the actual pages that have the link. I get mildly frustrated when some of the referral domains are something such as "pub51.eboard.com," as that doesn't tell me a whole lot :)

[amykhar]

Yes, I agree that the actual page would be lovely :)

Amy

[Bane]

The thing I thought with this was that I didnt want it to overfill the Database, Maybe if it is a seperate table from the link queue/referrer list and only kept a defineable numer of entries I will do this.

I do like the idea though :D (http://www.talkloud.net/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=1)

[wajones]

Nice job on the vbStats Bane. Installed along with vbPortal with no problems.

[DarkReaper]

Well, you could do it similar to the way vBulletin forums are setup. Subforums have a pointer to their parent forum -> seperate pages on a domain have a pointer to their domain :)

[Bane]

Oh, its not linking I have a problem with.. lets say a forum like.. oh.. eva2000s animeboard (hehe) was to install it.. they get who knows how many referrals.. within a month they have 10k rows or more filled with it.. and the more junk in the database the slower it goes.. etc.. I will just put another table in with a referrer storage limit.

[DarkReaper]

Er..yea, I was just about to suggest a limit :)

When can we expect to see the new version?

Any progress on hiding the actual hit counts?

[Bane]

Dunno, I'm trying to take a little time on this.. dont want to have to update the file 50 times because I keep screwing them up again. :p

[MarkB]

I have a site that pulls news headlines from one of my forums, and they get the following error (along with the news bits):

Warning: Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ultimatm/public_html/forum/global2.php(235) : eval()'d code on line 11


Any way to suppress the error? :confused:

[Bane]

what is global2.php?

If its a second global file you use for just that purpose you can remove the include from the phpinclude template and do it in the global.php instead and you shouldnt get the error anymore?

[MarkB]

I actually fixed it by using the full path to vbs_counter.php (since the news page was in another directory) :)

Mark

[Bane]

=) Glad you got it worked out.. The new version is working well for you then?

[MarkB]

It's still showing forums I've requested it not to, but if you've released a newer version than what I have, that might be why... :)

[JJR512]

In the "Exclude vbStats URL" part of what's installed into the Admin CP, I put my URL in (as "jjr512.com", no quotes), but when I check it, it once again says "domain.com". It seems this field is not saving. Any ideas?

[JJR512]

Also, about the setting for "Date Statistics Begin" setting. The default is "952001". What is the format for this field...is it MDYYYY (Sept. 5, 2001) or DMYYYY (May 9, 2001) or something else? How would I put in October 22, 2001?

[JJR512]

Another question. On the stats page, on the Top Posters section, how are the numbers generated? I ask because in the "Ever" part, for me it says my post count is 9873. My post count is 9553; if you click on the link of my name to see my profile, that's the number it shows. It looks like everyone's post counts are wrong.

[fury]

Forgive me if this error has already been pointed out, but I just skimmed through the posts in this thread.

I tried installing, and got a mysql error and an internet explorer crash, so I couldn't copy down the error.

I called the script again, hit uninstall, and here's what I got:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel: Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE user DROP INDEX referrerid
mysql error: Can't DROP 'referrerid'. Check that column/key exists
mysql error number: 1091
Date: Tuesday 23rd of October 2001 02:55:11 AM
Script: /forum/admin/install_vbstats.php?s=&step=2
Referer: http://localhost/forum/admin/install_vbstats.php?

So then I tried to reinstall it. Here's what I got:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel: Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE vbstats_counter (
type varchar(80) NOT NULL,
var varchar(80) NOT NULL,
count int(10) unsigned NOT NULL
)
mysql error: Table 'vbstats_counter' already exists
mysql error number: 1050
Date: Tuesday 23rd of October 2001 02:53:02 AM
Script: /forum/admin/install_vbstats.php?s=&step=3
Referer: http://localhost/forum/admin/install_vbstats.php?

It will not go any further in the install process, so I'm pretty much stuck. The board still works, so I'm sure the database hasn't been corrupted.

Note: This is on a different board than the one in my sig.

[patvdv]

I would have to second JJR512's remarks. The number of posts on my stats page are also wrong. vbstats is showing more than posts than the actual number????

I noticed in second instance that it is only for myself. Could this be linked to posts that have been deleted? Is vbstats showing the total number of posts ever made, regardless whether they still exist or not?

It is saving :) Check your database. That field will allow you to enter more domains to exclude. For example, my forums have two domains. I can exclude both of them.

I believe it is looking at actual posts for a given period. Do you have some forums where posting doesn't count towards the post counts? That would cause the problem you are seeing.

Amy

Fury,
Go to phpmyadmin, and manually delete the extra tables that were created. Then, go to your control panel and manually delete the new templates. Then try to reinstall :)

This is saving, it just allows you to put in multiple domains, I really need to work on the entry method :(

Whatever you want it to, It is just used for a couple of "Since 09-04-2001" type things, for display only so whatever format you like.

Right now it is counting the number of posts in forums that dont increment post counts. For example if you have a testing forum where post counts dont go up with posts it will count that too.

There are templates for vbstats_styles :)

[Bane]

Do you have it in use somewhere? I changed it around a bit (the code) I have mine up and running finally at http://www.talkloud.net/forums/vbstats.php?action=styles can I see yours? (http://www.talkloud.net/forums/index.php)

[GenSec]

It's here (http://www.2x2online.com/forum/vbstats.php?action=styles) It works. And you can try any style by one click

[Bane]

Very nice! The only thing I will change is to use the bars from the rest of vbStats. Thanks for the style :D

[GenSec]

Originally posted by Bane

Sure you are! I also changed some codes. ;)
I added banned users
// Banned
$bannum = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("select * from user WHERE usergroupid=39"));

And new users today $getnewusertoday=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS count FROM user WHERE joindate>='$tltoday'");
$newusertoday=$getnewusertoday[count];

[patvdv]

Hi Amy,

I think the posts problem is indeed explained by forums that do not count towards the post count. Thanks for sharing that insight :)

[GenSec]

There is simle solution
In $topposters1.="<tr><td width=100% bgcolor=$bgcolor><smallfont><a href=\"member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$user1[userid]\">$result1[username]</a></td><td bgcolor=$bgcolor align=right nowrap><smallfont>$user1[posts] / </smallfont></td><td bgcolor=$bgcolor align=right><smallfont>$threads1</smallfont></td></tr>";

replace $user1[posts] with result1[posts]

[amykhar]

Something I would love to see added:

I have seen some tracking systems be able to tell what people searched for on the various search engines in order to find my site. Anyone know how to go about doing this?

Amy

[Bane]

Right now I am adding tracking for full URLs other than some weird issue with the vbPortal front page not logging the full URL statement and hitting everything else fine that seems to be in order.

The search engine thing will be harder. I will look at it though.

GenSec: I will change that in the new version :) Thanks for the tips! =D Also I'm going to add patvdvs site to the listing, is it ok if I add yours?

[GenSec]

Sure! If anyone decide to learn Russian :D

[GenSec]

I use the external service which provide this info.
You can try to use the stats of your hosting server

[Bane]

Wondering what I'm doing? hehe.. working hard on the next version.. thats what.

Some people asked for full url tracking, so I'm putting it in. For a preview go here:

http://www.talkloud.net/forums/test.php

Description Follows
http://talkloud.net/images/stats/red_dot.gif - Disabled Pressing this will delete the referral
http://talkloud.net/images/stats/green_dot.gif - Mouse over to get the date and time of the referral
http://talkloud.net/images/stats/urlgo.gif - click here to get a group listing of the hits this site has sent you.

Listing of the URL refferer - Click here to go to the page that referred to you.
(link) - Click here to view the page they linked to!

[JJR512]

replace $user1[posts] with result1[posts]

Should the replacement be result1[posts] as you said, or should it have the $ symbol, so $results1[posts]?

Also, none of my forums are set up to not count towards post totals.

[CoolaShacka]

Great! I love this "full url tracking" funktion. :)

Now I have some vbstats settings Requests:

1. 24h reloadblocking would be great. (1 IP should count just one time/day)
2. Including User Groups and Permissions. (not anybody should be able to see the vbstats. Just Admins, Mods, and some Usergroups)

[CoolaShacka]

*hicks* :D

What you ahd done (in a later version, that I didn't modify) was that you allowed certain forums to be blocked. I wrote code that will only show if you have access. So if you have access you will see the forum and it's threads, if not you will not see them, and you see everything else just the same. This is for the top 10.

Should the replacement be result1[posts] as you said, or should it have the $ symbol, so $results1[posts]?

Also, none of my forums are set up to not count towards post totals.
It should be $results1[posts], which show the same amount of posts as vB from user's data, not from post database.

[JJR512]

Tried it, had no effect on the post counts displayed.

[Bane]

JJR512: Have you pruned threads? I'm looking at my board and it seems to be just the difference of how many posts in the test board.

Maybe try updating the counters?

[GenSec]

O, sorry. I forgot to say that above this you shoud change

$result1=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username FROM user WHERE userid=$user1[userid]");
to
$result1=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT username,posts FROM user WHERE userid=$user1[userid]");

Just to be clear.. You are trying to sell a slight mod to my hack?

GenSec: If that works for JJR512 I will put it in the next release :p btw, your link in your sig doesnt work?

Nope, I've never pruned. Updating counters didn't do anything; in fact, I even ran a script provided by someone else here a while ago that updates every member's post count with the actual number of posts on record for that member in the database. Sometimes the post count record does get a bit off. My post count came out to be the same thing, though.

OK, I did that and now my correct post count is displayed. So thanks! But there is still one problem left: I am at the top of the list, but the second person has more posts than I do.

Frankly, I like to have 2 type stats:
based on all posts & based on user counted posts
But if you prefer the last one
change in topposters to $toppost1=$DB_site->query("SELECT *
FROM user
ORDER BY posts DESC
LIMIT $toppostmax");
$bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}";
while ($user1=$DB_site->fetch_array($toppost1)) {
$result_1=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS threads
FROM thread WHERE postuserid=$user1[userid]");
$threads1=$result_1['threads'];
$topposters1.="<tr><td width=100% bgcolor=$bgcolor><smallfont><a href=\"member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$user1[userid]\">$user1[username]</a></td><td bgcolor=$bgcolor align=right nowrap><smallfont>$user1[posts] / </smallfont></td><td bgcolor=$bgcolor align=right><smallfont>$threads1</smallfont></td></tr>";
if ($bgcolor=="{firstaltcolor}") {
$bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}";
} else {
$bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}";
}
}

[GenSec]

Btw this code will count not only posts, but also the threads;)

i am new to the vbulliten community and i need some help
i followed the instructions on how to install this hack but it does not show up on my we page.

1. where do i put the code so their is a link to the stats under the view new posts link, and what is the code

2. where do i add websites to exclude from the count

please be specific

[Bane]

Let me answer number 2 first. If you made the changes to the vb Admin CP you click Exclude vbStats URL in your admin CP. If not set your browser to view http://yourdomain.com/forums/admin/vbstats_set.php?action=add

A screen will come up with Add New Excluded URL simply place the domain you wish to exclude in the text entry box. repeat as needed.

As for where to link it on your site, that is a matter of taste. As an example you could open your forumhome template and find You last visited: $bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate].and change it to You last visited: $bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate].<br>
<a href="vbstats.php">View Forum Statistics</a>

[epi]

thanks a lot that worked great.
another question can you make it display different version of windows instead of all the other operating systems.

[DarkReaper]

What features will the new version contain, and when do you think it'll be released?

[Bane]

Hopefully we can see a new version this weekend. For now the only set items for inclusion are:

- GenSecs code fix for top posters
- added fullreferrer logging to the counter (lines 146-153 vbs_counter.php)
- Added Popular Styles! (Thanks ztsky!)
- Sessionhash problems should be fixed
- Some Code Cleaning

I am looking to add some other things (Im still looking at your idea for admin only number viewing) but I just got a time limited contract so I have to pay the bills first.

[GenSec]

I added to vbstats a small addition which creates flag for every user.
It' very simple and takes only 5 min to install

[Si9naL-9]

Maybe you gurus, can help me...

I installed this brilliant hack for stats.. had it running perfectly..

went to bed.. woke up to this...

a funny problem

everything is fine with the stats page except one thing

the last 24 hours

new threads

I noticed this on the test forum and the main forum too

and the image that I attached is for the test forum and I'm the only person who posts anything in that forum so the number of new threads is 1000% wrong :)

Running php3 and have modified the files appropriately and the installation was successful, even checked all the files to make sure. However when browsing to the forum home page I get the following error...

Call to unsupported or undefined function array_reverse() in ./vbs_counter.php3 on line 53

Have also called the include function for vbs_counter.php3

Anyone have any ideas? If php3 is unsupported is there an equivalent install script for this hack?

Thanks!

Actually I have found the solution. If anyone else is running php3 and has this problem you can replace the function,

array_reverse($rhost);

with,

for (end($rhost); $key = key($rhost); prev($rhost) ) {
$value = $rhost[$key];
}


Awesome hack :D

[Sarge]

This hack works great for me. Easy install

[JJR512]

I noticed earlier an odd conflict with another of ethank's hacks, the subforums hack that shows a linked list of any subforums a forum has under the description for the parent forum.

In a category view, any forums with subforums shows the linked list twice, like here (http://forums.jjr512.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=19). Note the first forum you see there, Mindless Blabbering, has one subforum named Stupid Jokes, but "Sub-forums: Stupid Jokes" appears twice, the second below the first.

This didn't happen prior to installing this mark individual forum read hack.

[dxb]

hey come on Bane ...I didnt post anything in that forum for more than one month

anyway this what I tried doing I updated the counters ---> nothing happened

my forum was imported from UBB and as i remember the number of threads at that time it was close to 5000

anyway this is what I did to solve the problem

i changed this code in vbstats.php

$threadstoday=$getthreadstoday[count];

to this

$threadstoday=$getthreadstoday[count] - 5572;

yes the problem is solved but I dont think thats the best solution :) for it


=====================

one more thing whats with the license statment at the bottom of the vbulletin board it says

Powered by: vBulletin Version 2.something ;-)

dose that mean that they are getting ready to release 2.0.4

[Bane]

DXB: I'll look at that problem.. its odd though.. it tacks that number on everyday? You cant be the only person whos installed the hack that converted from UBB so I'm hoping someone else can tell me if they are having the same problem.

I'm sorry if the support for this has been a little shady. Most of the PHP/MySQL I know I learned from doing this, so it was mostly trial and error putting it together. I'm trying my best to get it all sorted and add the new features everyone is requesting (thanks for the emails and PMs btw :)) but you will have to forgive me if I am a bit slow.

Another thing I've noticed since writing this hack is Im appearing on a lot of peoples "IM him if my vb screws up" lists. And Im usually too nice to say no :( Hard to keep up with everything

Freddie said in a couple days on 2.0.4 methinks?

[MarkB]

I'm looking forward to the next version of vbStats, Bane :) I appreciate all the work you're putting into it!

[dxb]

thanks for the answer Bane and hey your doing an excellent job here

thanks for everything :)

Weeeeeeeeeee! LOL, ask FireFly what I said about the two boards I had in mind running vbStats when I relesed it Eva :p Now to work on breaking him down :p

[dxb]

I just installed v2.2.0 and the stats system seems to be working fine :) the only thing that I noticed is the referal option but i didnt try the to re-install the hack or even upgrade it

and Bane I think making the hack compatibale with v2.2.0 is an easy job for you ;)

[Bane]

I'm going to work some new features into the new release. There will likely be an upgrade script this time though :p Thanks for the heads up DXB. Hopefully everyone will still be interested when the next version is around :)

[orca]

Yep, works fine with 2.2.0. However, I have some troubles with the templates. They aren't "default" anymore. This means I have to redo them for every template set. Well, of course, I could do it through a query but I'm not so sure how to do it...


Just ran the install file again selecting upgrade and everything's fine now again. Also the referals work. BTW, it's no hard work to integrate it to the new admin panel. Only the link to the stats file doesn't work anymore.

[jminiman]

Hi,

I'm looking in the new vbStats applet in Admin CP, and I see no where that I can plug in "excluded URLs." I only see " Excluded Forums."

Where do I specify the excluded URLs?

[Bane]

Simply point your browser to your vb admin directory address and run the file vbstats_set.php?action=add

[|DarkManX|]

what are the correct changes that need to be made in admin/index.php

all my links are dead except for the exclude URL......the vbstats options don't work, and the view stats link doesn't work either...

thanks

[Dakota]

Ok, I just installed this hack this morning, and I am still using vB2.0.1. Is there anyway that you could set it to only log each user once because it is counting everytime a user refreshes on my site, and the numbers are outrageously high.

www.bidforpower.com/forum/vbstats.php

[DarkReaper]

Why don't you re-add the link to showmods, since its official in 2.2.0 :)

[SWFans.net]

I would like to be able to add the <!-- Todays Stats --> section to my Forum Index page under the link I have to the statistics. I already tried it once, but it looks like I need to make a few modifications to be able to actually display the numbers. Anyone know what I need to modify?

This is a great hack and I love it BTW. Thanks for providing it. :)

[Dakota]

You should just need to edit your forum home directory and make sure you get all the variables in there.

[SWFans.net]

I have included these variables on the Forum Index, but they display null.

$threadstoday
$poststoday
$todayviews

EDIT: With a little relocation of intialization sections to global.php, I was able to get two out of the three variables working. $todayviews is giving me a little trouble though, but is no sweat.

Find

makenavselect("Import & Maintenance");


After that add:

// ***
makenavoption("vBStats Config","vbstats_set.php?action=","<br>");
makenavoption("Exclude vbStats URL","vbstats_set.php?action=add");
makenavselect("vbStats");
// ***


I didn't find out how I get the link to vbstats.php to work. Any ideas are welcome.

[Baratator]

going to try installing it, but the installation seems to be VERY EASY.... but as i am a real newbie, everything could happens lol

thx GREAT work (i realy love the language file as i have a french board... nice idea save a lot of time :) )

[centris]

Thanks Bane, a great hack, installed it today on 2.2.0 with a little messing with the changed code and it runs great. Also included a link for my members to appreciate your work, again thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I did it this way:

Go to your Admin CP, styles, Modify, and look for the Header Template; I placed mine here like this, just under toplinks.

<!-- toplinks -->
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/vbstats.php"><img src="vbimages/stats.gif" alt="View the forum statistics here" border="0"></a>

Place the stats.gif in your images folder and ensure the above path to vbstats.php is correct.

The above path should be imagesfolder NOT vbimages/stats and don't forget the { just look at the others on the template you will get the idea.

Hope this helps, by the way here is a purple statistics button ENJOY

[centris]

My countries total is updating every time I hit refresh. I excluded by domain i.e. caddis.co.uk and looking at my database using phpMyAdmin the data HAS been inserted ok. Using 2.2.0 any suggestions, I may have put something in the wrong place looking at the new code in the index.php file?

[Bane]

Centris: At the moment the only option is for total hits (not unique) so it is counting every page view. I hope to get unique counts in on the next version.

[centris]

Thanks for the quick reply Bane, thats ok, thought it was summit I did wrong, awsome hack - thanks.

add this to your phpinclude template:

That fixed it, thanks.

Are these unique page views or just total number of page views?

[Steve Machol]

Is there an upgrade for vB 2.2.0? I was mislead by the title of this thread. The installation instructions and in particular the changes to admin/install.php do not match 2.2.0.

[Steve Machol]

By the way this is a great hack!

One thing though - is there anyway to exclude the listing of private forums from the Top Forums list for people who don't have access to these forums. I just tried it as a regular member and I could see these forums listed.

[Bane]

Steve, I will be coming out with an update this week. The current version works with 2.2.0 just some differences in where to put the items.

In index.php find
makenavselect("Statistics & Logs","<hr>",$df);
and just after that put
// vbStats
makenavoption("Config","vbstats_set.php","<br>");
makenavoption("View Public Statistics","../vbstats.php","<br>");
makenavoption("Exclude URL","vbstats_set.php?action=add","<br>");
makenavselect("Statistics & Logs");
// vbStats

And that should get it working for you I believe. I havent had the chance to upgrade yet. :( If you have any problems let me know.

PS - You can exclude forums in the vbstats config.

[Steve Machol]

Thanks Bane. For some reason the links for 'View Public Statistics' and 'Config' don't work from my Admin CP. The URLs look ok, but when I click on these links I get the '404 file not found' error. However when I go to these links directly they work fine. :confused:

[Bane]

The config works but not the exclude?

[Steve Machol]

No, the 'exclude' link works but it doesn't actually exclude the domain I entered, and the other two links don't work at all.

[Bane]

:( the exclude system is a bit confusing right now, it doesnt actually list what you exclude.. just excludes it. I will put the list in the next version. I'll try this on 2.2.0 and let you know what I get.

I agree with Steve here. vbstats.php won't be found this way. I think it will only look in the admin dir.
