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.

Any news on this being updated to work with vB version 3?

[Andreas]

Bane will most likely update vbStats when vB3 final is released.

[Fargo]

Great addition to my site!!! Easy to install and a load of info..thank you!

Click..Installed!

[alexi]

After uninstalling this hack I am recieving this in my Apache log

[error] PHP Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'vbs_counter.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /usr/local/apache/sites/disboards.com/htdocs/global.php(314) : eval()'d code on line 20

any ideas?

[Andreas]

Edit template phlinclude and remove
include('./vbs_counter.php');

I hope this is updated to vB3 soon. I can't wait to add this to my board. It looks like a great hack for vB2, and I'm sure the vB3 version will be even better.

[gopherhockey]

I too cannot wait for a vb3 version. I can't believe nobody has done something even on a smaller scale. My users really enjoyed the "Top X" posters... thats the first thing they complained about when we upgraded.

[ga.net]

I have a couple of questions

My forum is US hosted but Philippine-based so how come my top visitors are from the USA? How does the script determine that?

Also how does it measure forum activity level as well as determine the active memebers?

Thanks

[blakkboy]

i would i add the vbstats.php to link after the users online link......

so i would have:

Users Online/ Stats <------- and then that Stats text would link to the vbstats.php ???
