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!!!!

[Marc T Smith]

You have to go into your templates and put the link where you want one.

----------------------------------

I used repair.php and while everything *was* working before I ran it, now on my 'Quote' function in a message in a thread is now returning a blank box to put your reply in (the stuff from the quotereply template isn't there) and at the top of the page it gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/Forums/newreply.php(45) : eval()'d code on line 3

Any ideas, folks?

Added at edit The weird thing is - I had

PHP Code:

[QUOTE][color=firebrick][b][i]$originalposter said:[/i][/b][/color]
$pagetext[/QUOTE] 


in my quotereply template. As soon as I reverted it to the 'original', the error seems to have gone away...

LanciaStratos - as soon as I get to rewriting this I'm going to look at that, some people are having the problem, some aren't, so I am kinda at a loss as to what it is. Some folks said a problem with ubb importing etc.. but some people are having the problem that didnt port from ubb.

I had the same problem but used the 'fix' described in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...48#post193048. I am a UBB import person but the number I get (691) doesn't correlate to the threads/posts imported. I just inshalled this software so I'll watch. So far my tests show the 24 hour count work with my subtracting 691 from the count.

How are active and non active members calculated?

Thanks

[Marc T Smith]

As I understand it active users are those who have registered and posted while inactive users are those who have registered and NOT posted.

Someone please tell me if I am wrong - as I well may be.

I am also curious - under 24 hours, is the Views = Page views or Thread views?

And what is the difference between Views Page views and Thread views in the context of these stats? If I have a thread which is 5 pages long at 15 posts per page and someone reads the entire thread, does that count as 1 Thread view and 5 Page views?

[Bane]

You are correct Marc. and the 24 hours thing is Page Views not Thread Views

Page views counts all pages that have the include. Thread views only count showthread pages.

[Bane]

As a side note I'm hoping to drop a little upgrade sometime this week to fix some things. So all of you who have clicked the install button will get the email, but I wanted to add this just so the folks who didnt click the install know its coming.

[Marc T Smith]

One thing I might suggest - since this is a 'stats' hack. Where it gives users online, you might want to think of including the bit from the vB forum home page --> The most visitors ever online on such-and-such a date at such-and-such a time.

I'm a total php dummie and tried to put that in using the code from the forum home page:

PHP Code:

The most Members and visitors ever online concurrently was <b>$recordusers</b> on $recorddate at $recordtime. 


The text came up but the variables didn't. I don't know enough yet about php - I thought you just put in the variable such as:

PHP Code:

$recordusers 


and it would 'print' when it was parsed.

vBulletin is slowly making me learn php, so I'm not complaining - but that's how php dumb I am.

I've been playing a little with my templates a bit http://16949.com/Forums/vbstats.php

If you're interested in a small discussion there on what we're looking at see:

http://16949.com/Forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4528

I finally did read thru every post in this thread. Install was smooth. You have the same problem all boards (including mine) have - many, many people refuse to take the time to read before they ask questions so the same question is asked in the same thread 20 times.... I particularly was tickled by the poster who said s/he didn't have enough time to read the entire thread. I also thought the fella who was 'critiqueing' never did offer any help or point out any specifics. Despite his 15 years and certification or whatever. I was disappointed in his limited interaction.

Anyway, thanks! I appreciate the work you've put into the project.

What is the activity level and how is it calculated?

[pgowder]

As far as the who's online improvement, I would like to see it like the posters section.

Most ever online, this month, last 24 hours.

In short: Activity level is percentage of your users that have at least one post. "Active on your board"

Read thru http://16949.com/Forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4528 - it's short.
