VBStats version 1.0

This hack creats some graphical statistics of your vBulletin Forum.

Demo1, this shows some general statistics about your board (posted posts, posted threads, new users)

http://feyenoordforever.nl/forum/sta...action=vbstats

Demo2, this shows the posting statistics of a particular member (in this case memberid 1 which is me)

http://feyenoordforever.nl/forum/sta...stats&userid=1

You can sort everything per month, per week or per day.

It uses the Ykcee class (http://ykcee.sourceforge.net)
Note: It works ONLY if your server has installed the GDLIB library!
Follow the following orders very carefully. There are no changes for you vBulletin files needed

First download the zip-file: http://www.feyenoordforever.nl/vbhacks/VBStats.zip

1- Open "vbstats.php" and change the variables on top to your needs. (For explanation of the ykcee variables go to: http://ykcee.sourceforge.net/index.php?MAINNAV=2)
2- If your server is running a PHP version smaller than 4.0 then uncomment the array_slice function in "vbstats.php" (eg: remove /* and */ and the 'Uncomment this if you have a PHP version smaller than 4.0' line)
3- Make a new directory into your vBulletin root directory and call it "stats".
4- Copy "vbstats.php", "ykcee.php", "VERDANA.TTF", "VERDANAB.TTF" and "VERDANAI.TTF" to this directory.
5- Chmod vbstats.php to 755 if you're server is running php in cgi-mode.
6- Make a new template in your vBulletin control panel called "vbstats"
7- Insert the following HTML in it (You can change it to your own design, only leave the $orderby variable and the "action", "max" and "orderby" fields):

<html
<head><title>$bbtitle Statistics</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#7d7092" text="#000000" id=all leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">
<form method="POST">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="vbstats.php?orderby=$orderby&what=users&max=$ max&increased=$increased">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="vbstats.php?orderby=$orderby&what=posts&max=$ max&increased=$increased">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="vbstats.php?orderby=$orderby&what=threads&max =$max&increased=$increased">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="vbstats">
<input type="hidden" name="max" value="15">
<b><smallfont>Increasing?</b></smallfont><INPUT type="checkbox" value="true" name="increased">
<select name="orderby">
<option value="month">Per month</option>
<option value="week">Per week</option>
<option value="day">Per day</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body></html>

8- Create somewhere you want in your forumtemplates a link to "http://yourdomain.com/forum/stats/vbstats.php?action=vbstats"
9- Create a new template in your control panel called "memberstats"
10- Insert the following HTML in it (You can change it to your own design, only leave the $orderby and $userid variables and the "action", "max" and "orderby" fields):

<html
<head><title>$bbtitle Member Statistics</title></head>
<body bgcolor="#7d7092" text="#000000" id=all leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">
<form method="POST">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img src="vbstats.php?orderby=$orderby&what=members&use rid=$userid&max=$max&increased=$increased">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="userstats">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="$userid">
<input type="hidden" name="max" value="15">
<b><smallfont>Increasing?</b></smallfont><INPUT type="checkbox" value="true" name="increased">
<select name="orderby">
<option value="month">Per month</option>
<option value="week">Per week</option>
<option value="day">Per day</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body></html>

11- Create a link to "http://feyenoordforever.nl/forum/stats/vbstats.php?action=userstats&userid=$userid" in your "getinfo" template (the template for the userprofiles)

OR

insert just a little html in the "getinfo" template to show the image directly:

<img src="stats/vbstats.php?vbstats.php?orderby=week&what=members& userid=$userid">

(change the orderby variable to suit your needs)

That's it!

The "max" variable is to set a maximum of the displayed days/weeks/months...otherwise you had to much of them and the image got real messy.
You can change it if you want or let the user choose the max value by creating a dropdownlist or a input field in your template called 'max'

The only problem I have is that if there is a period of inactivity the graphic isn't represented as it should,
(see the 'geplaatste threads' graphic at http://feyenoordforever.nl/forum/sta...&orderby=month )
and note how there ar a few months missing...In fact the space between januari and july should be bigger than it is, but it's too complicated to fix that....
I might fix it later...

Let me know what y'all think

enjoy!

I installed it on my board, but frist I had to clean up some small mistakes!

http://www.startrek-download.de/vbb/...action=vbstats

Great work, but look over your readme again, I found a lot of small misstakes!

#3 10-30-2000, 10:20 PM

Can you give some detailed information? Because I can't find anything I forgot/told wrong...

Btw: You can change the colors of the graphics to suit your site...Look into the vbstats.php

#4 10-30-2000, 10:41 PM

sorry to sound ignorant, how do i know if the GDlib library is installed? a friend installed php for me and i don't know.

Thanks

#5 10-30-2000, 10:45 PM

Create a php-script with the following code in it:

Code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Then call that script from your webbrowser and it'll tell you somewhere if GDLib is enabled

EG: http://feyenoordforever.nl/phpinfo.php

And search there for GD, it says for me:

GD Support enabled
GD Version between 1.3 and 1.6.1
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with TTF library
GIF Support enabled

BTW: If your GD-version only supports another file-format (png for example) you can change it in vbstats.php:

$graph->SetFileFormat("gif");

'gif', 'jpg' and 'png' are supported

#6 10-30-2000, 10:59 PM

http://www.ascifi.com/refer/phpinfo.php

GD Support enabled
GD Version between 1.3 and 1.6.1
GIF Support enabled

yipee

guessing that is enough.

Question:

The graphs do posts/month, user/month etc. What about a graph for over time, ie one that steadily rises but you can see it going up and up and up. What do you think? I would like that.

Cool hack, really original. Thanks.

#7 10-30-2000, 11:03 PM

I don't think I understand that last suggestion...

You mean a more fluid (is that the right word in english?) line in stead of one that goes from point to point in straight lines?

tell me plz

#8 10-30-2000, 11:06 PM

nope. At the moment it plots:

January : 156 posts
February : 212 posts
March : 131 post etc.

I would also like if possible:

January : 156 posts
February : (Jan + February) = 368
March (Jan + Feb + March) = 499

so you get a graph that shows the forum growing over time.

#9 10-30-2000, 11:12 PM

Ah yes...

I thought about that and will look into that when I've time

#10 10-30-2000, 11:22 PM

cool, thanks. Again, great hack!
