Installation Time: <2 mins
Template Edits: 1
Plugins: 1
VB Version: This actually works on 3.5.0 - 3.5.4
Live Example (Look at my footer): http://beasttoast.com

Description:
This is a basic hit counter. It uses a little php script and a text file to store the hits (no DB because it would be too stressful). Also you dont have to display the hits on every page you could just put it on your forumhome template, and it will still count all the hits

Installation Instructions:

Download and unzip 'plugin-pageviews.zip'
Upload the folder 'Counter' into your forum directory
Now open the 'Counter' folder, and CH MOD 666 the 'count.txt' file
Install the plugin
*Optional* If you want to be able to display the page views for today just create a Scheduled Task like this:

Title: 'Page Views'
Hour: '23'
Min: '59'
File Name: './counter/counter_daily.php'
Place '$pageviews' and/or '$pageviewstoday' in any template where ever you want to display the hit count.

Screen Shot:

- Using Total Page Views
or

- Using Total Page Views and Todays Page Views

FAQ:

Q: Where do I put the '$pageviews' thing?

A: Well... If you dont know how to do this then ill just give you a standard spot to put it.

Open up your footer template

Then Find:

Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>

And replace that with:

Code:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]<br>total page views: $pageviews, page views today: $pageviewstoday</div>

This hack was based on ZIKI-SET's hack.

Then just create a plugin under:

Hook: global_start
Content: require_once('./counter/counter.php');

thats all

You have a link?

There are a few reasons this could be happeneing:

- There is another person browsing your forum.
- One of your php files loads the global.php file twice...
- Or you changed the ++ to +2

if you dont mind i would like that

Mr Chad · #21 04-15-2006, 03:01 PM

did it

you can now use:

$pageviews in any template to display the total like before
$pageviewstoday in any template to show todays page views

you will need to redownload it and replace the counter folder with the new one if you want to upgrade to the new one.
