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 i updated to 4.1.4 PL2 it really messed me up. When a member goes to click on a link to a thread or post a you have been banned box pops up on the forums for the member. I look on the ban list and they are not banned but access to forums is denied to them from that point on.

[Crystal Shards]

How do you keep articles from showing up?

[Big Kahuna]

I can't find where this has been addressed -- but it wants to use GIFs instead of VB4's PNGs for the post_old and post_new statusicons

I resaved the png files as gif -- and downloaded to the statusicon directory -- but what can I edit to have it use the post_old.png instead of the post_old.gif?

[Reycer]

Go look at the thread you posted in the forums. I put your answer there.

I really like Valter's mods. I too noticed the few issues mentioned and I had a go at fixing them by editing the provided xml file.

It's fail url and missed the t= in there, before the id of the thread, it's should be like this:

showthread.php?t=3805=&goto=newpost#post38679

For this there were a few missing instances of '.t=' that had to be added for both arrowlink and titlelink.

As well as the missing '.t=', the format of the output is slightly irregular, so not supported by vbseo. To fix this you have to alter '&goto=newpost#post' to just read '&goto=newpost#' for both arrowlink and titlelink.

I just edited the xml file to replace the two instances of .gif with .png.

All I did then was re-import the modified xml file with allow overwrite set to yes.

I haven't tried it fully, but I'm attaching the xml file I used (with .png modification) with vb4.1.5 and vbseo 3.6.0. I'm also attaching another version (not tested) that is identical to the first, except no .png (still with .gif) changes have been made for older versions of vb.

If you decide to use either of the xml files and have any issues, you should be able to just go back to Valter's original version by once again re-importing the original xml with overwrite set to yes.

When i click on the 'number of thanks' link in the 'top thanked' area of the widget, it leads me to a database error. I would presume this is because the post thanks addon no longer supports a 'search for thanked posts' feature anymore.

Can you please look into this and tell me whether or not there's a fix? I'd like to allow members to search for thanked posts/threads via this product.

Thanks.

[Valter]

It's problem with the Post Thanks mod as they haven't implemented search feature in vB4 versions. The link in Stats is correct for older versions which supported searching of thanked posts.

You can edit the template and remove anchor tags to avoid clicking and db errors.

Is there anyone who can say anything or has a solve for this?
Thanks.
