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!!!!

[jrwap]

It says "vbStats 203.1 created by Bane for Talkloud.NET" for me and it is still showing the private forums. I did put the forum id's in the control panel and its still not working.
I don't know much about this, but I know that Overgrow's search engine hack correctly excludes private forums. You may want to look at that code.

Other than that, this is a great hack.

Thanks,

-JRW

erg.. typo for me.. if your hack says 203.1 it will *not* exclude the proper forums. Try the new download and see if you have more success. It is v.203.2

I notice on the bottom yours still says vbStats 2.01, did you try the new download out? You should just have to reupload the files, but it may fix your problem.

I have 203.1 running (same version??), and thought I'd uploaded the latest one. I'll double check though

Ach so! Ok, shall double check Wee!

[jrwap]

Do I have to do an uninstall and then reinstall? I simply uploaded the 5 files and its still showing private forums as well as threads from private forums. This is for 203.2

Also, is there any reason why forum categories show up? I would think that categories that don't act as forums wouldn't show.

-JRW

[MarkB]

I had to uninstall and reinstall for mine to work - but one category I've 'disabled' is still showing

But not to matter It's a small niggle in an otherwise-excellent hack!

[Bane]

I'm gonna go ahead and look at overgrows.. this was working correctly earlier and now is not. Give me about an hour.. sorry folks

[jrwap]

Yeah, I had one private forum removed (was actually the category), but the actual forum still shows up along with the threads from that forum.

I'll check back tomorrow. Thanks for the support !!
