php include for traffic - HOW?

[VHLinks]

Will do, hopefully someone will point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to deal with one myself. Whenever I include it in _start it works but when somebody logs in it sends the person to homepage/Array for some reason. very annoying. I've included it now in _end and it appears to be working.

also, you probably need to

PHP Code:

@include_once ($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/twatch_include/logger.php'); 


or better of

PHP Code:

include_once('/absolute/path/to/file');

Nope tried just sticking this line in the include end, it didn't work:

@include_once ($GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/twatch_include/logger.php');

The I tried just putting this in the end include:

include_once('/home/jamtothis/twatch_include/logger.php');

Nada.

Wouldn't that be this?
'home/jamtothis/public_html/twatch_include/logger.php'

Let me know if you get this working, I would like to use it too

Eric who? No man, I don't have a public_html directory. Yes the old site did, I don't on the new server.

I've tried so many freaking variations it's ridiculous.

[ericgtr]

I should have known you wouldn't miss something small like that You guys have me screwing around with this thing now and I have tried several variations, all with no luck

[VHLinks]

I know it's very frustrating. I even tried hardcoding it into index.php just to see if would work and it didn't.

[ericgtr]

I tried adding it to the global.php and it was ugly man. I don't think a call needs to be made to a variable for this one (I have tried both ways) we should be able to pop it in and go, maybe worth looking at the file it's grabbing from too.

I came across this post looking for an addon for some kind of webstats for my new VB site and was a little dejected to find that nobody had gotten it working considering how good the TraceWatch app looked. I'm nothing more than a noob but using some clues in this thread, some on VB's official site and one I just stumbled across that wasn't related to the stats app, I managed to get it to parse VB. That said, mine is version 3.5.2 and not the older version that was used in this discussion, I also realise how old this topic is.

Just incase anyone's interested, here's what I did... (Note that the Plugin/Hook System has to be enabled first, it's disabled by default)
From your AdminCD, go to vBulletin Options, Plugin/Hook System
Make sure the Plugin/Hook System is enabled.
Again from your AdminCD, go to Plugin System, Plugin Manager
Select Add New Plugin
For the Product, make sure VBulletin is selected
For Hook Location, select global_start
For the Title, call it something like Trace Watch Monitoring Plugin
For the Plugin PHP Code, enter the following:-

PHP Code:

@include_once $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/twatch_include/logger.php'; 


Save it and make sure it's active and you're done.

The TraceWatch application should be installed following the instructions from the author's website.

ZED28, nice one mate. Like you, I was in the middle of piecing this together when I came across your post. There is one thing I wanted to add to you post tho, and maybe get some help from the resident PHP gurus.....

Tracewatch doesn't count individual parameters to each page. For instance, you can click on as many threads around your forum as you want to, Tracewatch will see each of these as a a visit to showthread.php. There is, however, a way to get around this, by adding:

PHP Code:

$GLOBALS['adl_count_params']=true; 


before the include statement in your plugin. REFERENCE

My question is, would this be the correct code?

PHP Code:

@include_once $GLOBALS['adl_count_params']=true;
$GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/twatch_include/logger.php'; 


Thanks again, and any help from anyone would be appreciated.

***EDIT***

I sort of just answered my Q.....

Found this at the TraceWatch site:

PHP Code:

<?php 
$GLOBALS['adl_count_params']=true;
@include_once $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/twatch_include/logger.php';
?>

HTH!!!
