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.

Well I bit the bullet and upgraded to 2.2.1 and still the same error, thing is though when I install on my personal backup copy on server at home it works fine.. Its got me stumped...

[hypedave]

another successful installed hack

on my board I am running

vb 2.2.1
vb portals PR7 upgrading to 8 soon

I didnt like that stats included with portals it seemed to be a lite version of vbstats, so i wanted the fullest, but if anyone wants to see the stats running, here is the link

Andrew .. i belive the changes needed in (admin/index.php) is as follows:

find:

makenavoption("Statistics","stats.php3?action=index","<br>");

and above that insert this code:

// <!-- vbStats -->
makenavoption("vbStats Config","vbstats_set.php","<br>");
makenavoption("View Public Statistics","../vbstats.php","<br>");
makenavoption("Exclude vbStats URL","vbstats_set.php?action=add","<br>");
makenavselect("vbStats");
// <!-- vbStats -->

However i am having a session problem with "vbstats_set.php" & "vbstats.php" .. the 2 pages won't load as:
[path]/vbb/vbstats.php
[path]/vbstats_set.php
but they load & work fine without the session, i.e:
[path]/vbstats.php
[path]/vbstats_set.php
the 3rd file "[path]/vbstats_set.php?action=add" works just fine.


Any thoughts?

forgot to mention .. running on 2.2.1

Malak_3araby:

got it to work.. had to change the line to show:
vbstats.php?action=
vbstats_set.php?action=

The last vbstats_set worked fine, since it already had an action assigned to it.

Hope this helps.

Installed on 2.2.1 - works perfectly with the changes outlined on page 18 of this thread.

Awesome!

[Tim Wheatley]

I've noticed users from Denmark are not brought onto the countries page, is there any way to add something so they will?

I've opened up vbstats and there's no reference to Denmark or .dk in there anywhere, so is this part of the MySQL table? If so, where?

Thanks.

Tim

[Bane]

Tim, currently vbstats pulls the encoding from your browser and inserts a hit in the database under DK. You can find it in the tables.

[Tim Wheatley]

Hmm...

It doesn't seem to be working for me then.

All other countries count it seems, the server is in Denmark, and 20-40% of the visitors are from Denmark, but there's no hits being counted.

[Tim Wheatley]

Yeah the other admin think dk is the only one not working, others all seem to be.
