You can turn on/off individual stats, count data from last x days for some of them if you wish, trim titles/usernames to save page space, make several other functionality/make-up customizations... See screenshots.

You can have Main Stats box shown on several pages...
It's shown by default on forumhome (to disable it set "Main Top Stats box on ForumHome" to "None")
To activate another location:
a) add THIS_SCRIPT name to "Stats on pages" field in product options
b) add template name to "Stats in templates" field in product options
c) add "{vb:raw vsatopstats}" to the template you added Stats to


Notes:
-To set options go to: vBulletin Options > VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics
-"Top Thanked" requires Abe1's "Post Thanks" or Scandal's "Thumbs Up?" products to work
-"Latest Donations" requires "VSa - PayPal Donate" hack to work
-To move Top Stats box somewhere else on forumhome: 1.-Set placement setting to "None" 2.-Add "index" to "Stats on pages" setting 3.-Add "FORUMHOME" to "Stats in templates" setting 4.-Add "{vb:raw vsatopstats}" wherever you wish in FORUMHOME template.
-If Top Stats box is messed up because of long usernames or thread/forum titles be noted that you can trim them in ACP options.
-When forum/thread titles or usernames are trimmed, mouse-over will show you full version.

When will the VBSEO bug be fixed?

Also, is it possible to add this into a VBAdvanced module?

Hey Valter, did you see my post?

You are Wonderful coder, Valter, I love your products because they are professionally coded and always hit the nail on the head

My appreciations for all what you did

There's a bug with the 'Most Viewed' stuff...the same way its been bugged with vbAdvanced & even vBulletin's latest 'Most Viewed' widget for the longest time now.

I'm guessing all 3 must be using the same coding or something..

For some reason, if you have Timecutoff disabled. It'll display all the views correctly..

But if you for instance have the cutoff to 1 day. It'll only display the most viewed threads either 'per registered members views'.....or for threads that have only had a reply to it within the last day.

It does NOT show the 'Most Viewed Threads' per day...or per week accurately.

I get a ton of search engine traffic , and I have 1 specific thread thats been Most Viewed (in terms of actual hits / views ) ...day after day...week after week..month after month.. and it never shows up on Most Viewed.

Most likely because of either #1 guest viewing is disabled when cutoff date is specified...or #2 thread does not get counted if it hasn't had a reply to it within the specified cutoff date.

Its been like 3 years now and still not 1 plugin can correctly display Most Viewed Threads correctly...in regard to cutoff date.

sorry if this sounds like a rant....but its a legitimate one.

I have had this loaded on 3.8x version for a long time. Works great!

I just installed a 4.03 forum and tried installing this version, but it is not displaying. I suspect it is something simple I am missing. Any clues? Yes, it is enabled.

Thanks

[mikeinjersey]

I'd appreciate it if my bug could be looked into.. (2 posts back)

also, any possibility of being able to add more columns in the future ? For instance, i'd like to have 4 or 5 columns display automatically with just 5 results for each column. (instead of the current 3 columns)

I don't even need the 'last posts' column, as I already have a widget for that along the right side...being able to replace the 'last posts' column would be sweet as well.

nicely done plugin overall though.

Valter, when you click on the arrow to access the userstats block, shouldn't that cs_block disappear if you click or move away from the box? The way it is now, you have to click outside of the box for it to go away.

Is this a bug or by design ?

[Valter]

I haven't found a way to auto-close menu on click in vB4.

Asked in forums, but noone posted working solution.

Exactly, same request

[Noctavia]

I've read through every reply so far and haven't seen an answer to this (appologies if I missed it), but is there any way to add the statistics as a widget so I can show it on my CMS home page?
