HIT COUNTER! (Integrated With VB) · **Released**: 04-13-2006

If you like it click

Installation Time: <2 mins
Template Edits: 1
Plugins: 1
VB Version: This actually works on 3.5.0 - 3.5.4
Live Example (Look at my footer): http://beasttoast.com

Description:
This is a basic hit counter. It uses a little php script and a text file to store the hits (no DB because it would be too stressful). Also you dont have to display the hits on every page you could just put it on your forumhome template, and it will still count all the hits

Installation Instructions:

Download and unzip 'plugin-pageviews.zip'
Upload the folder 'Counter' into your forum directory
Now open the 'Counter' folder, and CH MOD 666 the 'count.txt' file
Install the plugin
*Optional* If you want to be able to display the page views for today just create a Scheduled Task like this:

Title: 'Page Views'
Hour: '23'
Min: '59'
File Name: './counter/counter_daily.php'
Place '$pageviews' and/or '$pageviewstoday' in any template where ever you want to display the hit count.

Screen Shot:

- Using Total Page Views
or

- Using Total Page Views and Todays Page Views

FAQ:

Q: Where do I put the '$pageviews' thing?

A: Well... If you dont know how to do this then ill just give you a standard spot to put it.

Open up your footer template

Then Find:

Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>

And replace that with:

Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]<br>total page views: $pageviews, page views today: $pageviewstoday</div>

This hack was based on ZIKI-SET's hack.

Does the pages viewed today resets, because I'm getting the same number on both of them. When do they change?

They change when the Scheduled Task runs. It sets hits_yesterday.txt file to the current hits. So its totalhits - yesterdayshits = today

Is there a good way to either email daily counts or save them in a text file so I can keep track of daily stats?

Thanks in advance

It's been about a week now

Mr Chad · #70 05-06-2006, 04:16 PM

Did you set up the cron?

also did you add two $pageviews in your template instead of:

one $pageviews and one $pageviewstoday

rareclownfish · #71 05-07-2006, 12:48 PM

this is the code i have in the template

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]<br><b>The total pages viewed: $pageviews, pages viewed today: $pageviewstoday</div></b>

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
