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!!!!

[TheComputerGuy]

i got mine working

VBSTATS powered by Bane

[BluSmurf]

This has got to be one of the most famous hacks ever!!! Thanx alot to Bane

Here's my suggestions to the next update
1) Change the detect country encoding to IP detection. That should fix the correct country listing. If it is unable to dns the IP and get the country then it should be categorize as unknown country (maybe set it as an option for users who want this since it might create a heavy load during peak period)

2) Hit count by unique IP and also forums impressions.

I'm still using the first version and it's working great, will update once this features are implemented

[Bane]

Computer Guy: Looks great Some path problems with your flag images though?

BluSmurf: What Im going to try to do for countries is allow people three choices.

1 - DNS Country Detection (no .com .net etc.. all non country are reverse - thus unknown)

2 - Encoded detection scheme (as used now, in all its flawed glory)

3 - Two tiered (Check DNS if non identified check encoding)

I will have uniques tracked in the next version, I believe, may be a few days =D

[Sukij]

HI..

If the Forum is behind the Firewall, can it still detect the correct countries ?

I have serveral internal staff access to Forum from Singapore, Malaysia but all show in United State or United Kingdom. There is no Singapore or Malaysia shown in the statistics.

What should I do ?

[DarkReaper]

What about the option of hiding the numbers except to admins, and only showing moderators/members the percentages?

[Bane]

Sukij: Not sure on the firewall, but the country detection schemes are messed up anyway. In the next version I will fix this.

DarkReaper: I will look at this as well.

Bane,

If you are looking for sites to add to your vbstats page:

http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/vbstats.php (it's Belgian )

[DarkReaper]

Suggestion: In addition to logging domain referrals, log the actual pages that have the link. I get mildly frustrated when some of the referral domains are something such as "pub51.eboard.com," as that doesn't tell me a whole lot

[amykhar]

Yes, I agree that the actual page would be lovely

Amy

[Bane]

The thing I thought with this was that I didnt want it to overfill the Database, Maybe if it is a seperate table from the link queue/referrer list and only kept a defineable numer of entries I will do this.

I do like the idea though
