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.

[Bane]

Yes Jbear6 it will. Be careful when placing the hacks, as some may have changed, but it works well yes.

monstergamer - no not currently

[jbear6]

Thank you very much Bane, you are a scholar and a gentleman.

Does the latest installer have an upgrade option besides the installer option? I need to upgrade from an older version to the newest for vb 2.3. thanks.

As far as I know ... each version has a install/uninstall/upgrade feature. During installation it also mentions that if you upgrade your vbulletin, you should run install script again and choose upgrade.

If you upgrade your vBulletin, you should manually re-apply the source code changes. The templates and mysql changes are ofcourse, already in place.

[Bane]

You can upgrade in all the 2x versions and keep your current stats.

[Cyricx]

any plans for it to list like most popular styles? or even most popular smilies?

We use several styles on our site as well as a whole host of smilies, would like to be able to move the most popular smilies to the main smiley panel if I had a way of tracking which those were.

Thanks!

[Bane]

Cyricx, its possible I suppose, the first is quite easy, and for the most part is already in the code for vbstats. The second is more involved and would involve further hacking to vb.

[Tim Wheatley]

Thanks for the updated version Bane! I uninstalled this a while ago as my board got too big for the old version and it kept killing my server, but I'll try this new one. Site is http://forum.racesimcentral.com - stats will only be shown to staff (or the link to it will), but feel free to guess the url. I'm currently installing and editing a test board, it'll go live on the above url tonight sometime though...

My board should be quite a test for your coding.

Thanks man!

[Tim Wheatley]

Bane please check your PM's, I just replied. It's now live on the board.

http://forum.racesimcentral.com/vbstats.php

I'm only making it visible to staff.

ps: incase you're wondering, I haven't disallowed my own domain from registering, this is because we have a lot of sub domains and sites we host and I'd like to see which are bringing in the most visitors. Can I exclude certain sub domains? forum.racesimcentral.com and www.racesimcentral.com for example?
