Same for me on 3.6. I thought I would give this one a go a few days after the upgrade, hope theres a 3.6 fix soon.

[Rickie3]

I have only tried this on a test board 3.6 and seems to work ok on that for me,havent tried on a live board as i'm still running 3.5. ive also edited the product so it installs on 3.6 'PLEASE USE AT OWN RISK' as i stated ive only tried it on a test board and wont be held responsible for any error it may cause.If you already have this installed you dont need to upload any folders to your server,unless you are doing a fresh install.
1.
In template "HEADINCLUDE" find

<if condition="$vboptions['externalrss']">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="$vboptions[bbtitle] RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS2" />

ADD UNDERNEATH

<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>

2. Import the product below,if you already have it installed select overwrite to yes.

now when i did fresh install on 3.6 it did NOT install the cron in sheduled tasks so you might have to add it manually
go to sheduled Tasks
add new sheduled task

Varname=psiStats
Title=psiStats 2006 Hourly update
Description=update psiStats
Day of the Week (Note: this overrides the 'day of the month' option) = *
Day of the Month=*
Hour=*
Minute=25
Active=yes
log enteries=yes
Filename=./includes/cron/psistats_update.php
Product=psiStats 2006
click save,then run the cron manually for the first time.
cheers

[akanevsky]

What exactly did you change in the XML file?
The reason cron did not get installed is because 3.6 has a different format for the cron table.

[nitro]

I just added the cron manually (Thanx for that info, I did wonder if there was suposed to be a cron entry, wonder why I didnt mention there wasnt one incase this was it) and now after running that manually a couple of times all but screen res has data, perhaps a bit more patience now and that one will start to fill aswell.

	<description>Sophisticated forum statistics for your vBulletin board.</description>
	<version>1.3.2</version>
      <dependencies>
	</dependencies>


	<codes>
		<code version="1.3.2">
			<installcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();

then found all instances of

<plugin active="1">

and changed to

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

then i added this

</settinggroup>
	</options>
      <helptopics>
	</helptopics>
     <faqentries>
	</faqentries>


</product>

[akanevsky]

Rickie3
Empty entries are not required though The only problem with running this script on 3.6 is the cron and the modified template with javascript...

[Rickie3]

oh well i was only trying

[nitro]

With the cron added and the headinclude edit changed I'm still getting nothing in "Display Colors & Resolutions" but everythiung else appears to be filling up fine on 3.6.0 gold.

Also small tip, the navigation maybe better at both the top and bottom of the pages as some of them can get a bit bigger, ye lazy I know but its nice to have it at both ends and not hard to acheive.
