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!!!!

[Zaeolos]

How do you get this thing to show up on your board?

Sorry if this is a stupid ?

Thanks

[Zelda-King]

You need to make a link to the page somewhere, ie, make a vBStats button as a link in your header.

[Zaeolos]

Ok..I did that..I thought there might be a way to actually show up at the bottom of the board at all times.

Thanks

[Zelda-King]

Well you could stick a link in the footer instead. It doesn't show on the actual board. It wouldn't be good for server load for all that information to be showing ALL the time.

Installed this and seems to be working good until I tried to do a backup of my DB. I had run one the night before installing this and now after, my backup consistantly stalls at the 18mb mark.

Any idea how it could be related?

Thanks,

Chris

Guys,

I've still got that problem with vBstats (see above) - it keeps on trying to access the wrong database... please help, I'd apprechiate it!

[Andreas]

@CarryApple
That's kinda strange as VbStats does use vBs Database-Class.
Where did you put vbstats.php?
Maybe it's using the wrong global.php ...

You could also try to replace all instances of mysql_query in vbstats.php with $DB_site->query.

[carryapple]

Kirby,

Weeeeee, thanks a LOT!
Replacing mysql_query with $DB_site->query did the trick, vb stats is up and running again - thank you so much!

[Darken Rahl]

Any way to make the vbstats.php viewable only after you login?

[Andreas]

@Darken Rahl
I don't know which vBulletin & vBStats-Version you use, but this should do the trick:

In vbstats.php, before

PHP Code:

   if (!isset($action) or $action=="") {
     $action="stats";
   } 


Add the following code

PHP Code:

   // Check if user is logged in
   if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])
     show_nopermission();
