Here's the newest version, it's only been a year and a half since the last update!

Translations have been removed as it just made it easy for people to get the hack even without a license. I am hoping people who make translations will be kind enough to post here.

Special Note: I am about as far as it gets from a PHP guru. This is my first hack or addon or whatchamacallit. If this somehow nukes your system Im quite apologetic, but I know you will all be smart enough to BACK UP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS.. I have faith Brad and Chen have both checked this out and given their stamps on it but that doesnt mean it will all Gel for you. Be smart, back it up.

Install: There is a self install file that takes care of the templates and tables, simply unzip the package and upload it (with paths) to your vbulletin directory. Then run the install. Please be sure you add your site (yoursite.com) to the excluded urls in the CP. If you dont your site will get counted as a referrer and that can get messy.

Demo: You can of course see the demo at http://www.talkloud.net/ however if you'd like to see it in use on some other boards check out vbstats page where I will try to keep a list of installs for you to check out. If you do install it please let me know so I can put your site up!

I tested this on my test forum, and on one public forum, and all went well, if there are any problems you notice please report them here as soon as possible.

DEAR GOD CHECK THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!!!!

I just installed v2.2.0 and the stats system seems to be working fine the only thing that I noticed is the referal option but i didnt try the to re-install the hack or even upgrade it

and Bane I think making the hack compatibale with v2.2.0 is an easy job for you

[Bane]

I'm going to work some new features into the new release. There will likely be an upgrade script this time though Thanks for the heads up DXB. Hopefully everyone will still be interested when the next version is around

[orca]

Yep, works fine with 2.2.0. However, I have some troubles with the templates. They aren't "default" anymore. This means I have to redo them for every template set. Well, of course, I could do it through a query but I'm not so sure how to do it...

[edit]
Just ran the install file again selecting upgrade and everything's fine now again. Also the referals work. BTW, it's no hard work to integrate it to the new admin panel. Only the link to the stats file doesn't work anymore.

Hi,

I'm looking in the new vbStats applet in Admin CP, and I see no where that I can plug in "excluded URLs." I only see " Excluded Forums."

Where do I specify the excluded URLs?

[Bane]

Simply point your browser to your vb admin directory address and run the file vbstats_set.php?action=add

[|DarkManX|]

what are the correct changes that need to be made in admin/index.php

all my links are dead except for the exclude URL......the vbstats options don't work, and the view stats link doesn't work either...

thanks

Ok, I just installed this hack this morning, and I am still using vB2.0.1. Is there anyway that you could set it to only log each user once because it is counting everytime a user refreshes on my site, and the numbers are outrageously high.

[DarkReaper]

Why don't you re-add the link to showmods, since its official in 2.2.0

[SWFans.net]

I would like to be able to add the <!-- Todays Stats --> section to my Forum Index page under the link I have to the statistics. I already tried it once, but it looks like I need to make a few modifications to be able to actually display the numbers. Anyone know what I need to modify?

This is a great hack and I love it BTW. Thanks for providing it.

[Dakota]

You should just need to edit your forum home directory and make sure you get all the variables in there.
