Aaargh ... indeed wrong Thread :D
Corrected my Post.

We all have those kinds of days once in a while. ;)

You need to edit the install text file as to where you need to put the code and in what template to make it show up. I figured it out but there will be those that don't. ;)

You mean this doesn't insert the new template 'linkhits' anymore with the installer?

-b6

yea didnt seem to work for me

Yes, it inserts it, but how do you call it? ;)

I can confirm that from this distro (zip) supplied in this mod/thread there was no problems with installation, the template installed on all skins successfully from the single xml file.

DEMO : http://www.hardwired.myftp.org/forum/

I would suggest that you un-install the mod, check the for 'linkhits' template (see if it's been removed through un-installtion, remove manually if nessarsary) then re-install via the product import section.

This mod may only work with RC2, but i'm not sure.

Ok, I'm gonna bail you out herre since you don't seem to understand what I mean. ;)

You need to add $linkhits in the template to have it show up. ;)

Check to see if the mod installed this plugin > HITCounter_merge template
and > HITCounter_cache_template

Now this maybe the strange occurance i've found using IIS, works fine locally, calls correctly etc... but on a remote host setup it fails, but for the life of me i don't know why...

as i said i've just downloaded myself, un-installed the previous, re-installed and it all worked 100% > http://www.hardwired.myftp.org/forum

But on a remote machine i'll have to try some more tests...

-b6

LOL You STILL have to put the variable to call the template in the template you want to call it from. The plug-in only adds the template you are calling, not the variable to call it. ;)

ok so the hook "forumbit_display" which calls 'HITCounter_merge template' >
isn't working for some? - what about $forum?
I understand what & why your saying what your saying, but surely it wouldnt work for me locally and on my unix server if something was amiss...

I actually don't think it's a bug with this plugin... it's a cache template problem of some kind.

-b6

But you still have to put this somewhere to call that template:

$linkhits

Otherwise how does it know where to put the hit counter?

Surely it's all in the hook 'forumbit_display' if that detects a forum link (if ($forum['link'])) then fetch + merge the newly installed template (linkhits) - jobs a goodun! (in theory) why this worked for me and does not for you i'll have to look into.

Works 100% for me, just by installing the product. Great work, thanks a lot!

Propbably because I don't have a last post column for my links. ;)

worked great,, only problem i see is..
the redirect hits count towards post count on the board ?

Threads: 2, Posts: 688, Members: 3
i tried to turn off post count, but it still shows a post for every redirect..
good work tho so far :) installs

Yes Loco Macheen, i know...i don't think there's a work around for this without file edits!

This worked fine in RC3 but is not working for me in gold.

Works fine for me in Gold :)

Well what is the code edit so that it does not count as posts? I cant have it counting toward posts :(

Works in 2 Gold installs i have!

And the code edit would need a re-write of this hack, it was the only way to have this as an xml product without the edits.

-b6

don't work for gold here :(

Well I would consider this current state broken imo if it has undesirable effects... I would rather have it working correctly.

Just me though....

I re-uploaded the XML overwriting it from when I was using this hack in RC3. It works fine. The counter shows up and is not counting toward post count.

great mod b6gm6n & thanks to the people who helped out

dont work for me on GOLD :(

Excellent! Worked right out of the box!!!

So is it going to remain acceptable that it also increase post count when you click on a linked forum?

I'll need some sql and a good php surgeon...stat!

I'll think about an alternative, it'll mean adding a some stuff to your db via a query or two.

-b6

Here is a Version that uses it's own field; if you want to use it just reimport.
It will carry over old counter values.

Thats Great Kirby, did you have any problems showing the '$vbphrase[redirected_hits]'?

-b6

Not on forumdisplay.php, but on index.php due to the fact that Phrasegroup forumdisplay isn't being loaded there.
XML updated.

nice 1

when updating the forum counter via admins forum manager

I tend to always forget those Plugins ...

forumdata_start

Not sure why, but if the only step is to import the xml file, it didn't do anything to my site?

There is nothing for me to edit/change in the forum manager, and no counter shows in the forums.

your assistance would be appreciated :)

There is a problem with this hack. First it counts just fine, but after a while, it changes the view numbers. It think this is only the case when you set your own number. (not the real one)

Too bad...clicks uninstall* for now.

Once again in english please :)
What exactly is the problem you discovered?

Ok maybe this will explain the problem better:

The number of views will be reset to 0 after you update counters > generate forum information.

So you actually got a feature request:
Reset linkhits when updating counters.
Right?

No, this is the case now:) I would like it to not do this. (seems to me that this is a bug).

Erm ... doesn't happen to me.

Maybe you still got old Plugins/Templates installed?
