Statistics Modifications - Woopra for vBulletin

Woopra (http://www.woopra.com/) is a hosted live tracking site that allows you to examine the live stats of your website. This plugin will allow your site to be tracked by Woopra. You still need an account on Woopra and your site to be approved for this to work!

Install & Config
Install the product_woopra_stats.xml in your product page. Upload the bitfield XML to your XML directory under includes. Enter your Woopra Site ID number under your forum settings options. This is needed for the template to process. There are other options there also!

Please click install if you install this! Support faster to those with "Install" clicked, but not needed. Thanks!

Please Note!
Woopra does not support this plugin. I do. So if you have any problems with the plugin, please contact me. If it has to deal with the software that they provide, I can not deal with it. Registration problems on Woopra I can not deal with either.

Woopra Official Plugin Directory URL
Woopra on their site has an official plugin directory on their website, however it links back to this post.

Screenshots
They are limited, but you can get an idea by visiting their website to see how it works and the type of data that you get. I updated this post too include screens from my view. This is view the Java APP that you can connect with. It's very fun! (Note: I run 1900x1200 so they got automatically re-sized here... so.... http://www.frakmedia.net/shane/woopra/ is where I placed some images)

Known Problems

• User Title/User Group - This should be showing the "group name", not the title. I will have this fixed in 1.0.5.

Version History

• 1.0.0 - Initial Release
• 1.0.1 - Talking with the Woopra dev team, non-logged in users will show up as "Visitor X" and so on.
• 1.0.2 - New data can be passed: "Post Count", "User Title", "Join Date" Also the fields that are passed names are based off your default forum language. This means "Email" will still be "Email" (inside the Woopra Java App) if you have the forum default to Enligsh, no matter if your user has set theirs to another language. Moved Javascript code to load after forum display/thread listing instead of on top. Can be used as far back as 3.6.8 but designed on 3.7.x.
• 1.0.3 - $spacer_open is in more places than I thought making it count to many times. I moved it back to the header of "$_phpinclude_output".
• 1.0.4 - Avatar will not show up as a black box if the user in question does not have one in set. (A fix to deal with new app version.) Email will be standard clickable link in the application soon. Changed array name from woopra_array to woopra_visitor. Phrases for the items instead of using others.

Worked for me!

I noticed that after about a week or two of use of this, my site's footer started to take forever to load. The whole page would load, but the footer would load about 30 seconds later...
Then, the ENTIRE site took forever to load. I disabled this plugin and removed the footer code, and voila -- it's back up to speed.

Something in this plugin/woopra code caused my site to slow down. What I don't understand is why it happened a week or two after use.

Yes same problem here. Took forever to load in Firefox.. But IE was ok

when woopra's servers are down the javascript makes the page hang on firefox, or on a separate domain your forum uses that is not recognized.

anyway 10k pageviews dont do me any good.

have you checked out if using the local javascript might fix that issue?

woopra_visitor['email'] = '$bbuserinfo[email]';

why is it needed to transmit the users' email addresses to woopra?
emails are sensitive user data - would be nice to have that optional in a future version ... I would kick ass any webmaster who sends my email address to other web serives ...
I removed that line and the mod seems to work anyway.

thanks for that mod

I do not understand I have put the code in the footer template and am still wondering what to put in the Website ID thing.

The one thing I cant still understand is the "chat" from the woopra application, anyone knows?

[tpearl5]

Has anyone been using woopra long term? What do you think?

[FlyBoy73]

I have and I think Woopra's feature set is great; however, the 10k page impressions limit (beta limit) and the fact that is is still in "beta" is ridiculous.. If you have a forum that does around 10k page views a day and get into the beta program, enjoy the heck out of it..

At this point I would love for someone to build something similar and launch the damn thing.. Put a price on it.. This just feels like an investor jerk-off to me.. There is no reason this shouldn't be production by now.

Woopra has finally launched today. See http://www.woopra.com/blog/2009/10/1...ly-exits-beta/.

Any plans to upgrade and release this as officially working with latest version of vbulletin. It works fine on mine but it would be nice to know it has the latest features....
