To bitg - I've just finished the upgrade_to_v2.txt instruction at the first post so I recommend you do it so. Good luck

Unstable version? What unstable version? I did not pick the version? This is not MY server? It is a hosting plan just like any other? What are you talking about?

and are you able to reset the stats?

I updated the hack, now you can use Reset Forum Views feature to reset the stats, just see the new reset_forum_views.txt instruction. Have fun

Thx, works perfectly!

I really like this, but is there a way to keep the hits you already have, or add them in -

I don't want my hits starting at 1 when I've already got 50,000 -

thx

AnhTuanCool · #28 01-12-2005, 09:05 PM

If you want just start your forum's hits from 50,000 instead of 1 then run this query
[sql]UPDATE forum SET views = 1 WHERE forumid = 34 [/sql]
With views = 1, replace 1 with the the number you want it to start at, and forumid = 34 replace 34 with the forum's id you wanna update. Thanks,

Ha - that's great! thx Anh -

1 final ? - integer doesn't have a comma shows as 10001 - any way to display as 10,001?

AnhTuanCool · #30 01-12-2005, 10:48 PM

It has to go through a function process llike vb_number_format() to shown as interger with , etc...
You can do it so
Open forumroot/includes/functions_forumlist.php
Find:

Code:

					$forum['threadcount'] = vb_number_format($forum['threadcount']);

Add below:

Code:

					$forum['views'] = vb_number_format($forum['views']);

Thanks,
