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.

DEAR GOD CHECK THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!!!!

I installed on 2.3, but I think I'm missing a lot of options. For example, I can't find anywhere to turn "top styles" on and stuff.
THanks for help.

Sadly the demo hack shown at the front of this thread is not the one which you get. In fact many of the features that are shown in the demo hack do not come with this hack.
At first this seemed like a good hack but the install instructions are poor to say the least and the hack has several bugs.
For example , linux ( in operating systems ) does not count at all and i have found that i have two uk countries in the referring countries table.
There are no instructions to add the link queue to the forum homepage also.

Looks like lots of people have found bugs and there has been no updates, which is a shame because the demo vbstats looked complete.

I am probably going to uninstall and look for a different stats hack, although this one could have been the best if it had been finished.

Shame to leave a hack like this uncompleted.

[influence]

such a shame?
stop complaining. at least he gave us something instead of keeping this great feature to himself like others.

if u check his website, u will see he have other versions of it and this is the only version he is willing to release to the public.

I hate people who like to talk bad about people who are willing to share their work especially after spending alot of time doing it and then packing it up for people to use.

go make your own

Will this work with 2.2.6?

[docvader]

Just curious. I've installed this on my 2.3 Vbulletin without any problem, and it seems to be working just fine. (Easy install, very impressive). But, I'm getting visitors from El Salvador (lol), that are probably from Sweden. I know that this was an issue in the past, have not found any posts that have identified a fix for this.

Any news on the country detection part of this hack? Otherwise, it's just working beautifully for me.

Wow, I was looking for a LOT of these so I'll definitely use this code (taking out a few functions to reduce queries to bare minimum) thanks Bane..

I get this everytime I click on the View Stats

vbStats Error!
Be sure to add this line to your phpinclude template:

include("./vbs_counter.php");

you can find you phpinclude template in your vbulletin
admin panel and in the menu templates click |edit| you
should click on the set you wish to edit and scroll down
until you see the name: phpinclude

Your template should look something like this:

// This code is PHP4 only:
// ob_start();
// require("yourheader.html");
// $header = ob_get_contents();
// ob_end_clean();
include("./vbs_counter.php");

I have included it in my template but it still keeps doign this. Any suggestions?

How do i uninstall the referrals part?

[PranK]

sweet

*clicks install*

[mfacer]

works perfeclty!!
installed in minutes with no trouble!

I dont suppose you might release a beta version of the version used on talkloud.net ? I went to http://influx9.com/vbstats/ to see if there was a newer version, but it says not.

I'd really like to include the search engine keyword stats.... any chance of getting that part?!

thanks!!
