Link Forum Hit Counters

[zajako]

This hack shows a counter for how many hits each link forum has. THis helps show how much traffic you have given that site.
If it is 0 it hides it so as not to make it look bad.

that may be true but it takes 2 mins to update for code changes, and it takes hours to add new features. Keep in mind i dont have hours.

[Rein Masamuri]

He'd better not have hours with RCS 1.5 on the horizon!

[zajako]

[SnowBot]

[zajako]

and heres me thinking you were a super hacker :) hehe
Lol the title under my name says Advanced Coder not mircle worker snowbot, and im not really too familar with vb3's coding yet as i havnt really custimized mine much.
Im much to busy these days to work on hacks that are not really needed.

ricoche wait no longer ;)


Enjoy fellas ;)

[eXtremeTim]

It is counting up in counts of 2. Any reason why? Maybe since i have them as subforums under a links forum?

Seriously, thanks alot for the work!!! Looks great!

P.s. Is there an option coming to add some banners? I see poof! Toplist and voila :)

[zajako]

that shoulnt be any sort of cause as it adds one just before loading the page

which version do you use, the one for rc1,2?
cause they change the output with them.

i don t think theres a hack out yet to make some banners, but im sure there will be eventuallly.

[Gio Takahashi]

This is a handy small hack. Nice job as always, Zaj.

/me installs.

[SnowBot]

Cool, RC1 - RC2 versions. Nice hack mate thanks :)

* SnowBot hits install

[zajako]

thanks guys, glad you like it ;)

Im using rc2. I have the forums as subforums under a forum could that be the cuase and if so how can we go about fixing it?

[gmarik]

can't get what is from your homepage ...

[zajako]

Im using rc2. I have the forums as subforums under a forum could that be the cuase and if so how can we go about fixing it?
it shoulnt matter that its a subforum either. I have yet to fully test it on rc2 cause i dont use it, but ill look into it, verify that you made the edits correctly, till i can get to look myself to see if this is a know issue.
im working on many things at the moment so i cant spend much time fixing or working on hacks >.<

[b6gm6n]

great hack, can you tell me which template to edit to place the...
<if condition="$forum[linkhits]">(Hits: $forum[linkhits])</if>

where the last post column is, usually theres a - symbol
please advise and thanx

-b6

[gmarik]

A fine modification of this would be an add-on, that counts new posts from my last visit from every main catagory (forum, adding all the subforum values) and generating a nice data table.

[Fi_InCogNiTo]

Works great on RC3 :)

[dutchbb]

Doesnt work on RC2 here :(

[Marulatree]

Will this be updated for RC's 3 & 4?

[Sadie Frost]

Will this be updated for RC's 3 & 4?
It works fine on RC4 (and 3) :)

[Mr. Brian]

Any min limit before the hits count?

Installed for almost two days but still not working..

[zajako]

yeah a minimum of 1 hit. Try clicking to see if it works.

Im glad the users who are using it like it, ill see about fixing it for rc2 if i can, however i have been extremely busy recently.

[dutchbb]

Doesn't work in RC 4 :(

[dutchbb]

It works fine on RC4 (and 3) :)
No it doesn't

[Mr. Brian]

Well, I noticed its not working with floris "forum spacing mod".. Anyone there experience such problem aswell?

[jluerken]

Can you make this working with the gold version?

[jluerken]

Well, I noticed its not working with floris "forum spacing mod".. Anyone there experience such problem aswell?

I installed the forum spacing hack which is working fine but in my GOLD this linkhits hack isn't working.

Has anyone an update to make this working?

[Aleksey]

I would also want one for vB GOLD.

[Mone']

Attached is the updated version for vbulletin 3 gold.

Changes:

The Hit counters is now showing instead of the lastpost empty box
The hit counter is template driven so you can edit the look and feel to suit best your forum style.
Template is cached so no extra query is added to your forumhome.

Big thank you to Zajako for letting me post this updated version.

Screenshot Below

p.s. if your link counter is not showing up at first simply click on your link to increase the counter to 1.

Enjoy

[Bryan Ex]

Working fine here on Vb3 Gold. Thanks very much for this. Where can I add in target=_blank so these links open in a new window?

[FleaBag]

Working perfectly on Gold, thank you. :)

[Beermonster]

How did you do that?

[SamirDarji]

Does anyone know how this will work on 3.0.3? I'm about to try the version for gold and see what happens on my test server.

[SamirDarji]

FYI, the gold version works fine on 3.0.3. About to install on production server.

[FleaBag]

Please ignore this idiot post. Working dandy on 3.03.

[BamaStangGuy]

Anyway to make the links open in a new window? Just the links not the rest of the forums?

[BamaStangGuy]

also how do I get rid of the Never thats above the Redirected links: ? and how can I remove the two colums to the right of that and make the redirection span 3 columns

[SamirDarji]

To make any link open in a new window, use target=windowName. I forgot exactly where you put it, but it is part of the <a href html tag.

I thought about doing the 3 column thing too, but I think it was more trouble than it was worth to do it. I justed looked into it and it requires more than just a template change, so I didn't try it.

It looks like to me that the link is hard coded into forumdisplay.php (I dont see anywhere in the template fourmdisplay where it creates the link for the links only forum. I dont want my reg forums to open up in a new window just want the links one to

I actually just tried what I was thinking and it won't work. What I was thinking was to put code where it asks for the link url in the forum manager.

To be able to get links to open in a new window, you have to find where it builds the actual html link using the information from the forum itself. Then you could change that piece of code and make it<a href="http://www.huntsvillecarscene.com" target=new>
instead of<a href="http://www.huntsvillecarscene.com">

Where can get/find this SPONSOR hack ?

[venomx]

Any screen shots that show exactly what this hack does?

[venomx]

NM I see now... hmmm

[Code Monkey]

Nice. Installed.

[BamaStangGuy]

Doesnt work with 3.0.4

Can't find

######################################
########## forumdisplay.php ##########
######################################

look for:

######################################
######################################

// check if this forum is a link to an outside site
if (trim($foruminfo['link']))
{
exec_header_redirect($foruminfo['link']);
}

######################################
######################################

Replace with:

######################################
######################################

// check if this forum is a link to an outside site
if (trim($foruminfo['link']))
{
$DB_site->query("Update " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum Set linkhits=linkhits+1 Where forumid='$foruminfo[forumid]'");
exec_header_redirect($foruminfo['link']);
}

[BamaStangGuy]

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=3360

It has been moved from forumdisplay.php to global.php

:)

[BamaStangGuy]

Fix:

Find in global.php:

exec_header_redirect($foruminfo['link']);

Replace with:

$DB_site->query("Update " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum Set linkhits=linkhits+1 Where forumid='$foruminfo[forumid]'");
exec_header_redirect($foruminfo['link']);

This should work let me know if you have any problems

You do not do the forumdisplay part in the instructions

You replace the global.php instructions with those above :)

[b6gm6n]

Brent, you just beat me to it ole chap! :)

It wasn't working on 3.0.4, so i sorted it and wanted to post the fix, check the altered instructions in the attachment :)

[Omega Prime]

Here's hoping for a 3.5 conversion :)
