Well, the hack itself only requires one hack to work, thats putting the counter in the phpinclude template. The rest is gravy.

Adding vbstatsCP to the AdminCP (you can run this from the file instead)
Adding vbstats to whos online
Grouping vbstats templates in the template modify.

So really all you need to do is run the install and add the counter.

You can do the config by using http://your-site.com/forums/admin/vbstats_set.php and the excludes by pointing to http://your-site.com/forums/admin/vb...action=exclude

As a quick fix here is a txt file with the needed hacks for the full install, these should work for 2.2.4 with no problems.

Simply do these instead of the hacks listed in the installer. This was intended to be an install.txt so the instructions should be complete.

It works for me, I am using vB 2.2.4

Take a look

freehtml - I think I mentioned before I love your boards topic no? I want new games in the states! *sulks*

I'm not for sure if this has been brought up before or not - my referals all point to my start (vbportal) page and not the forum - is there any way to get the referals to reflect hits sent to the home (vbportal) page???

You have to hack the header.php file to point to the vbstats header instead of the php-nuke one.

I'm not very computer literate but I'm trying to learn - can you be a little more specific - sorry

open header.php and find "counter.php" try changing that to "vbs_counter.php" and then upload the vbs_counter.php file to your vbportal directory.

I dont have a copy of it right now so being anymore specific is difficult, I'm sorry :(

OK i just deleted all the other site referers from the db and changed what you said - i will monitor it throughout the day and then let you know what heppens - thanks for the help!!
