HITCounter - Link Forum Counter · **Released**: 08-04-2005

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!

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.

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().

But the link counter would show how many times the link had been clicked.

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

That'll work.

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.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
