HITCounter - Link Forum Counter

This is a port originally By Zajako and Mone.

With kind permission i've updated the mod for vBulletin 3.5, this version comes with an enhancement, i.e via your ACP (forum manager) you can adjust the starting value for any counter.

Installation is done easily via the importing of an xml file.

See screenshots!

Enjoy!

Update : Huge Respect to KirbyDE who really is the genius behind this mod, cheers dude.

Update 1.3 : optimized code - (no more updates to totals) - Thanx KirbyDE

If you use this mod please click Install - cheers!

Can't you do the file edit via a plug-in?

Oh, template edit. I thought it was a file edit. My mistake, sorry. ;)

Shouldn't this be in plug-ins then?

No need to be sorry your right, there is a file edit in three places within "functions_forumlist.php", everything else gets automagically installed via the xml file settings, template, queries etc...

The file edit merges the new 'linkhits' template into the forum home display, maybe the next version will be free of file edits... which would be great!

There should be some hooks you can use for the file edits, though, shouldn't there?

Andreas

The Template is not the Problem, can be done with a Plugin.

Hook: forumbit_display

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($forum['link'])

{

    $forum['replycount'] = '';

    $forum['threadcount'] = '';

    eval('$forum[\'lastpostinfo\']  = "' . fetch_template('linkhits') . '";');

}

This kicks off 1 File edit.

However, getting the count doesn't seem to be possible without the File edit.
The other Option would be to use a Query. But this would add 1 Query to Forumhome and every forumdisplay.php call where the Forum being displayed contains sub-forums that are links.
Or the Forumcache would have to be rebuild upon every Hit, which is even worse IMHO.

However, some furhter suggestions:

Your Counter-Update seems to be run every Time smth. is being done in ACP?
I'd suggest to get rid of the Settings and the admin_global Plugin.
Instead, make a new control in Forum Manager that shows the current Value so the User can just input it's own.

Hook: forumdata_start

PHP Code:


		
			
$this->validfields['linkhits'] = array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO);

Hook: forumadmin_edit_form

PHP Code:


		
			
if (trim($forum['link'] != ''))

{

    $check = $db->query_first("SELECT linkhits FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum WHERE forumid = $forum[forumid]");

    print_table_header('Forum Link Hit Counter');

    print_input_row('Hit Counter Value<dfn>Here you can manually adjust the Hit-Counter for this Forum-Link</dfn>', 'forum[linkhits]', $check['linkhits']);

}

The check-query isn't ideal, but necessary as the Forum Manager displays cached Data

Don't execute the Update in Global-Start, as this causes 1 additional Query for every Forum being displayed, no matter if it is a Link or not.

Hook: header_redirect

PHP Code:


		
			
global $foruminfo;

if (trim($foruminfo['link']) != '')

{

    $vbulletin->db->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum SET linkhits = linkhits +1 WHERE forumid=$foruminfo[forumid]");

}

You should also cache the Template on forumdisplay, as it might be shown here too.

Hook: cache_templates

PHP Code:


		
			
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay')

{

    $globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('linkhits'));

}

The game...

If it is was just wondering if you were familiar with what was poisonville.com / is now poisonville.org. If not then you're probably wondering what the hell I'm talking about.

Andreas

Just an idea to get rid of the remaining File Edit:
As Forums that act as Links don't have Threads, what about using the threadcount or replycount field for the Counter?
This way it would be automatically queried by cache_ordered_forums().

And that wouldn't change if it just used another database field :)

That'll work. ;)

08-07-2005 12:40 PM

i see what you mean...(i think) so i'd have to alter the template, i already have the extra database field... i dunno if this is possible using my limited knowledge of php/modding etc... i'd need some more advice ;)

Install Code for new Version (I'd suggest to remove the old Install Code)

PHP Code:


		
			
$db->hide_errors();

$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum SET replycount=linkhits WHERE link != ''");

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum DROP linkhits");

$db->show_errors();

Uninstall-Code

PHP Code:


		
			
$db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum SET replycount=0 WHERE link != ''");

Then in the Plugins and Template change all references to linkhits into replycount - Done.
The File-Edit then will not be necessary any longer.

And this will count link hits, too? ;)

Nah, that would only be the new Install/Uninstall Code for the Product.

b6gm6n

08-08-2005 01:37 AM

seems to be working within the forum admin, but it's not showing within the forum home, i've reset the edited *.php file (no edits) and followed your instructions, i've added the new install code, un-installed & exported, done all i can do find the reason, but nothing... still won't show.

still ok?

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay')

{

    $globaltemplates  = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('linkhits'));

}

i've tried 'replycount' with no luck

template is :

Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="$stylevar[left]" padding left="20">

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="Redirect to $forum[title]" border="0" /> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]" title="Redirect to $forum[title]"><b>Redirected Hits:</b></a> $forum[replycount]</div>

which shows, but no number for replycount, just blank

Andreas

08-08-2005 04:11 AM

That's due to construct_forum_bit() wiping out the Value before Hook forumbit_display gets called.
But you should be able to restore it:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forum['replycount'] = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['replycount'];

b6gm6n

08-08-2005 11:44 AM

The template isn't picking it up, but the value is showing ok...check the attached, almost there...

i've placed

Code:

$forum['replycount'] = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['replycount'];

below the exisiting code in the hook : forumbit_display, it's the only location that'll work and show the values.

in the template > "$forum[replycount]" does nothing and i've tried re-jigging the merge template part to :

Code:

if ($forum['link'])

{

    eval('$forum[\'replycount\']  = "' . fetch_template('linkhits') . '";');

    $forum['threadcount'] = '';

    $forum['lastpostinfo'] = '';

}

but it does not show the template (redirected hits etc)

so yet again i'm at an impass...bugger :) i'll need some more help again me thinks :)

See the attached XML; works fine for me.

b6gm6n

08-08-2005 02:48 PM

wow it does to, thanx so much, you are a freaking genius when it comes to this stuff... i'll upgrade the distro asap, boofo can move this little mod (i kinda helped with) to the extensions section, thanx again Kirby...massive kudos to you.

-b6

Boofo

08-08-2005 02:51 PM

If the xml is all you need, then it can go in plug-ins, right?

Andreas

08-08-2005 02:54 PM

No, it's the complete Package (aka Product XML).

b6gm6n

08-08-2005 02:57 PM

updated, please move to where ever you see fit, cheers guys.

-b6

Andreas

08-08-2005 02:59 PM

Another File Edit nailed ... strike :D

Andreas

08-12-2005 09:43 PM

Common Mistake: You must import this as a Product.
