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.

Two categories now... VERY weird :)

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

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

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.

the stats change with server date or vb settings ?

Server

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

What exactly are you trying to update?

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

hehe :), aight...thnx

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

Amy

silly me....fixed it :D

Bane,

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

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

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

Seems to work great now.

Thanks alot,

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.

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.

I will fix this in the next version PPN.. Sorry about that :(

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"?

i got mine working

VBSTATS powered by Bane

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 ;)

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

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 ?

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

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.

Bane,

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

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

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 :)

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

Amy

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

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

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 :)

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.

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?

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

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

Any way to suppress the error? :confused:

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?

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

Mark

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

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... :)
