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.

You can fix this manually in online.php. There are instructions somewhere in this thread. I would recommend installing this hack:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=32849

It makes it really easy to add new locations to Who's Online.

Strange...

http://dynamic3.gamespy.com/~serious...ion=topposters

It shows the top 3 posters as being sartophiketle, MasterEvilAce, and Smithboy, but here it has it in a different order. To see post counts on the member list edit the html code and search for "2475" - you can clearly see that there's a different reported post count between the 2.

sartophiketle has 2475 posts on the top 15 posters list in member.php, but in vbstats.php he has 2103...??

Also, for the last 30 days...it could be right, but most likely isn't...800 posts in 30 days? Um..yea.

[The Realist]

I have 2 problems.

1) I am running version 2.2.1 and in admin/index.php I cannot find:

<tr><td>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" id="navtable">
<?php maketableheader("Stats & Logs"); ?>

BUT I can find something similar to:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" id="navtable">

So I placed the requiered txt above that "IS THIS CORRECT" OR WERE SHOULD I PLACE IT"

Also I am getting the following errors when wiewing the "View Public Statistics" in CP.

Any help please?

[KuraFire]

Okay, I'm still reading this thread but here's a suggestion in advance:

Bane, how about adding [Stats home] at the bottom nav so that people don't have to click the Statistics link in "$bbtitle > Statistics > .... " anymore to get to the main page of the Statistics?

I really miss that "home" link down there.



Also, I would like to know how to remove all parts about Referrals in this hack. I don't use the referral system on my board so it'd be pretty useless to have the "Top Referrer" listed - can this be edited out easily?


And to FWC: Would you please tell me how you have the whole Statistics block coded into your Forum Home page? I'm talking about the block that starts with a link to the vbstats.php and ends with "Hottest thread this week" - I would LOVE to have that overview on my forum home as well, please tell me how to code this in there. I'd be very grateful



Furthermore: I'm waiting until I read that there is a fully detailed zipfile with instructions and Everything all sorted together, for vbulletin 2.2.1 - meaning I won't have to search through this Very long thread all over again to find out how to make this work on vbulletin 2.2.1, from a clean install (haven't installed this hack ever, so far). It'd be great if you, Bane, could make a new decent and complete overview again in your next release. I think MANY people would be very grateful if everything would be put in a clear and complete overview again, it would prevent users from REPEATEDLY asking the same questions and reporting the same issues.

Maybe you ought to close this thread and start a new one with your next release, have a clear overview there and everything?

I appreciate that bro And believe me I have seen the totals, they astound me I think it has a lot more to do with the hack than me though. A lot of people are statistic hounds like me I guess.

Yup. I'm a stat.hound as well, that's why I like this hack so much. However, I think in all fairness that having to sift through several hundred posts just to find one or two posts that describe how to make it work for 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 isn't something you should EXPECT from the users. That's a LOT of work, especially since most of this thread is repetitive, i.e. person A going "I have this and this error" and then one or more people answering how to fix it, and that goes on for most of the entire thread. It's very easy to lose focus when reading such things, and then you miss the one or two posts that have the added instructions for 2.2.x and you get upset because you can't find it.

What I think is a good idea, is to just add those instructions to the attachment in the first post if you haven't already. If you have, I apologize and will just continue reading this insanely long thread.

Btw: I think it's absolutely great that you're doing this Bane, you've been an excellent hacker in both creating and supporting everyone with this, very admirable. You might not have as many hacks as FireFly or so, I know of only one hack that is better than this one, and that's a tiny, very easy hack of two lines only that prevents signatures from being shown by default for a second time in a thread.

I'll shut up again till I have more to add. *continues reading after the Hooper incident *

[KuraFire]

I should stay out of this, I know, but I just can't resist:

BTW, you are not talking to a kid here. You are talking to a NATTS certified computer technician with a degree and 15 years in the field. You are also talking to someone who knows html and the fundamentals of Web Dev.

15 years of coding experience with HTML and what not, and you still don't know how to spell "apologize" (pending on the case, this could also be "apologise" of course) ?

Sorry, but I've had several debates on INA with people who think spelling has nothing to do with intelligence, and that people who attack others on their lousy spelling capabilities are 'losing the debate' but that's just a load of crap. If someone is truly intelligent and arrogant enough to BOAST about their intelligence, the least they could do is spell their posts properly, in order to be at least a BIT believable.

By Hooper again
It's fine when you get posts on how nice your hack is by the kids. But when you get someone that does know what they are talking about, try to not treat them like they are out of line.

We're not condescending at ALL here, are we now? Earth to Hooper: just because YOU have 15 years of experience (not in spelling, though ) doesn't mean that EVERYBODY else here is a kid and has no valuable opinion or input.
I think the only reason people responded to you as if you were "out of line" is because of your arrogant, cocky and condescending attitude that is very inappropriate on a forum like this. Bane is offering his services for free, everybody else here is offering their help and support for free. The least you could do is be CIVIL towards people when you complain.


There, ranted out, and I tried to keep it as short as possible. I'll continue reading again, lol

LOL, good one! GG_OWNED @ Hooper ^_^



Bane et al: Adding the Stats page to the Forum Jump, that would require only ONE template (per style) to be changed, am I correct? Cos that'd be quite nice, to have the Statistics listed in the Forum Jump menu
