This product is very flexible. You are able to choose which stats to show, disable some details to save page space, optionally show data from last X days only, 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 "Disable")
To activate another location:
a) put location-name in "Stats on Custom Pages" field in hack settings
Explanation: When you open some vBulletin php file you'll see this at the top - "define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'XXX');"
XXX is location-name we need. It's usually the same as php filename (without extension, of course)
Note: When setting several locations then separate location-names by commas
b) add "$cybtopstats" to the template called on page where you wish to have stats shown


Notes:
-To set options go to: vBulletin Options > Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics
-"Top Thanked" works only with Abe1's "Post Thank You" hack. Don't enable if you have not this hack installed.
-To move Top Stats box somewhere else on forumhome: 1.-Set placement setting to "None" 2.-Add "index" to "Stats on Custom Pages" setting 3.-Add "$cybtopstats" wherever you wish in FORUMHOME template.
-If Top Stats box is too big 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.


Installation:
1. Required:
Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

2. Optional - if you use custom styles and stats are not shown:
Open FORUMHOME template and add "$cybtopstats" where you wish Stats box to appear

3. Optional - if you use custom styles and link to re-enable stats is not shown:
Open desired template and add "$cybts_enablelink" where you wish "Enable Top Statistics" link to appear

hi first of all thanks for the mod...someone please help

my problem i exculded someo of the forums so members can see top posters and top thread starters for the month...however one problem problem is...when i see the latest post not all of the post show....i am wondering is this what its suppose to do....i thought seeing latest post and exculding forum for stats would be and is separate

request: can you give an option so we can enter the dates like from jan 1st to feb 1st or whatever to accurately see the top poster and top thread starter

[emmateague]

I also require help!
I am completely novice to all this and so have a very limited understanding of how to fix things myself. I added the forum statistics and they all show correctly at the bottom of forum home, when i click to view one of the last posts/hot threads it reloads the forum home page and hides all threads leaving me with just my shoutbox and the stats. I noticed the url that appears up the top after this shows something like /?t=1133 would i be correct in thinking this needs to be changed so it goes to /showthread.php?p=1133#post1133. Only semi-logical assumption i could make. Would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction!

[akulion]

awsome! motm well deserved

[kewlpack]

Wonderful mod. Love it - 5 stars!

One minor issue though... I noticed that the "new" indicator doesn't change when a person visits the thread having the new post(s). On returning to the main index, the thread still shows as having "new" posts. It only goes away if the User selects "Mark All Forums Read" from the Quick Links menu.

Is there a way to get that fixed? Please advise.

So what is the problem do you thick ?
my forum is 3.6.7 !

I Have the same Problem and I Confirm 100% that is a Code Problem, because I've Tested this Mod with 3.6.7 PL1 and with 3.6.8. PL2, and that Same Error Happened!!

I Told Cybernetec about this Error a Long Time Ago, and Many People Has Too, and it Started Happening since one of the Updates (Exactly Version 5.4, because Version 5.3 don't Have that Bug), so would be Nice for Cybernetec to Check Again the Coding on this Mod because it Has a Bug!!

I Hope You Can Fix it, for Now I'll be Using the Old Version that Works Fine and Shows the "Latest Forum News", until You Fix that Bug that Starting Happening After the Update of Version 5.4!!

I think that Cybernetec should Upload the Version 5.3 that don't Have that Bug, so that the Users that Reported that Bug can Use the Mod that don't Have that Problem!!

My Best Regards!!

Another vote here towards the integration of a Latest Articles from the blogs.

Ideally, with an option to include which blogs / bloggers should be included while the rest remain excluded.

[jilly]

How can I make it so guests cannot view the top 5 stats on forumhome? I think I would put the code

<if condition="$show['member']">

</if>

somewhere in a template, just not sure which one or where

I Finally Found the Solution for this Problem, and I'm Happy is Not a Bug:

In the "Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics" Options, there is an Option under the "Stats Details" Section, named "Latest News forums (List IDs, separate with commas)"; in that Text Field you Should Set the IDs of he Forums You Want to Show in the "Latest Forum News" List in the Statistics!!

Again I'm Happy that this was Not a Bug, and Lots of Thanks to Cybernetec for Sharing this Great Mod!! :up:

My Best Regards!!

Does anyone know how to make the News sort by the NEWEST post date instead of the original post date? We're using the Latest Posts and Latest News to separate two different types of threads. The Latest News sorts based on the original post instead of bumping threads to the top when there's a new post.
