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!!!!

[SWFans.net]

I have included these variables on the Forum Index, but they display null.

$threadstoday
$poststoday
$todayviews

EDIT: With a little relocation of intialization sections to global.php, I was able to get two out of the three variables working. $todayviews is giving me a little trouble though, but is no sweat.

all my links are dead except for the exclude URL......the vbstats options don't work, and the view stats link doesn't work either...


thanks

Find

PHP Code:

makenavselect("Import & Maintenance"); 


After that add:

PHP Code:

// ***
makenavoption("vBStats Config","vbstats_set.php?action=","<br>");
makenavoption("Exclude vbStats URL","vbstats_set.php?action=add");
makenavselect("vbStats");
// *** 


I didn't find out how I get the link to vbstats.php to work. Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks.

I did it this way:

Go to your Admin CP, styles, Modify, and look for the Header Template; I placed mine here like this, just under toplinks.

<!-- toplinks -->
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/vbstats.php"><img src="vbimages/stats.gif" alt="View the forum statistics here" border="0"></a>

Place the stats.gif in your images folder and ensure the above path to vbstats.php is correct.

The above path should be imagesfolder NOT vbimages/stats and don't forget the { just look at the others on the template you will get the idea.

Hope this helps, by the way here is a purple statistics button ENJOY

My countries total is updating every time I hit refresh. I excluded by domain i.e. caddis.co.uk and looking at my database using phpMyAdmin the data HAS been inserted ok. Using 2.2.0 any suggestions, I may have put something in the wrong place looking at the new code in the index.php file?

[Bane]

Centris: At the moment the only option is for total hits (not unique) so it is counting every page view. I hope to get unique counts in on the next version.

Thanks for the quick reply Bane, thats ok, thought it was summit I did wrong, awsome hack - thanks.
