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.

You can see it working at http://www.planetliebe.de/vB/vbstats.php (german board, sorry).

Edit:
The path on the server is actually / v b b/vbstats.php (without the spaces) - don't know why the board keeps changing the URL

It's currently running on a Beta 7 Board, but will work on RC2 too (with only slight modifications).
If there's enough interest and i've got the time to compile an installation package I could release this (if Bane does allow that).

Could you please sure the rest of use how to port it over to vb3? I am about to upgrade from 2.2.9 and i am really disappointed to loose this hack.

[Zelda-King]

Well you have it on vB2 so you know there is no REQUIRED file hacking at all so this is comparitively easy to port to vB3.

[Host Directory]

Thanks for the help so far zelda... but i am confused now since i heard it doesnt work on vb3. So if i want to get it to work on vb3 what do i do?

[Zelda-King]

The install file needs modifying. If you run it on vB3 you'll get loads of errors.

Some of the PHP files need translating to the vB3 code. ie, vbstats.php and vbstats_set use vB2 code which vB3 doesn't recognise. Same goes for the templates, but most of the database queries will run fine.

Certain file edit options need translating to vB3 code also.

Oh, and if anyone's thinking of actually converting it, the search and replace function works wonders. Heh!

[Bane]

OK, since I'm being raped by PMs here @ vb.com and talkloud I'll give you guys a wee status update.

I am currently looking at vBulletin 3, and trying to get used to the new system etc while slowly upgrading talkloud. As soon as TalkLoud is in a managable state I will begin porting vbStats to vBulletin 3. I am a bit hesitant to let anyone port it because I would hate to have everyone move to a new system and when I do get about to releasing an optimized version everyone is all like.. "vbStats?"

I do appreciate everyones patience on this. And I will try to get around the thread a bit more and maybe in a week or so post a general suggestion thread on things people would like included. One feature I did want to make sure was present was dynamic modules. In other words a drag and drop file (or near so) that would expand your stats to include other items such as vbPro Arcade or vbIndex or vbAdvanced specific information.

All I ask is that when I release it you guys jettison me instantly into the top 5 hacks.

[Zelda-King]

I've seen a server load bit included. Are you sure that isn't server intensive (hence why TECK only lets admins [as opposed to everyone] see that in his Microstats hack)?

[Bane]

Everything will be configurable. Turn that off if you dont want it to be there, etc.

nope teck don't do the above rather erwin does.

and also bane, not sure if it effects your plans or not but EvB released something very similar already for vb3 in the form of Lite Stats

Actually, I mean yes TECK's hack lets everyone see some stuff but the server load bit is only viewable by admins.

Bane: Oh yes, I remember now. It was pretty configurable in vB2 as it is. Been a while since I was on vB2. :/

I'm going to wait for VBStats. It's definately worth waiting (and nagging) for.
