Yes, that is what everyone keeps telling me.
But i upgraded to the latest version of vB 3.5.3 and I don't have the line that created the bug and I still get messages about not being authorised to lock/unlock tables. That's why I commented out those lines.
The update seemes to work perfect without those lines. It's the only bug I've found and I'm not sure it's a bug on your side

Thanks again for sticking with us and developing this hack.

The sollution is in this thread.....

[redtailboa]

I am wanting psistats to also track url's for my VBportal pages. (http://www.vbportal.com), is there a easy way to do this? I was thinking of adding this to the P_themeheader template:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.cookie = "psistats_screenwidth = " + self.screen.width;
document.cookie = "psistats_screenheight = " + self.screen.height;
document.cookie = "psistats_screendepth = " + self.screen.colorDepth;
</script>

But I am not sure it will work. My board is in /forums and the portal is in /.

Well, after a number of issues last week, Psionic said he would fix this hack over the weekend, and he did. Working well.

Thanks for your time.

Great work Psionic! This update solves all of the problems I had.

As something extra, I've also never personally liked how the Bots and Unknowns are mixed in amongst the legitimate browsers and operating systems, so I've done a quick modification to my download putting them at the bottom. I'd thought I'd share it if anyone else wants to do it.

NOTE: This works with both numerical sorting and alphabetical sorting, depending on the option you've chosen.

Step 1:
Make the following file edits:

Open: psistats.php

Find:

PHP Code:

eval('$browserbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_browserbit') . '";'); 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

if (substr($browser['browser'], 0, 3) == 'Bot' || $browser['browser'] == 'Unknown')
{
    eval('$unbrowserbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_browserbit') . '";');
} else {
    eval('$browserbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_browserbit') . '";');
} 


Find:

PHP Code:

eval('$osbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_osbit') . '";'); 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

if ($os['os'] == 'Unknown')
{
    eval('$unosbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_osbit') . '";');
} else {
    eval('$osbit .= "' . fetch_template('psistats_osbit') . '";');
} 


Step 2:
Make the following template edits:

Template: PSISTATS_OS

Find:

$browserbit

UNDERNEATH add:

$unbrowserbit

Find:

$osbit

UNDERNEATH add:

$unosbit

That's it! I'm quite new at coding so I apologise if this is not the most effecient way to do this. If you have a better way, please post it here so it benefits all of us.

[akanevsky]

That's actually a nice and clean way to do this, although I'm sure it could be done without creating extra variables In the next version I'll separate the bots from regular agents.

What were the file edits and template edits of the old version? I deleted the stuff from class_core but this still does not update...even after changing the headerinclude

[GamerJunk.net]

Nevermind it all of a sudden started working.....

If it isn't too much work, could you please give me the link or the number of the posting where I can find the solution? You know, the thread is already quite long....
The problem came up after the last update, it worked fine before.

thanks,
Georg
