Statistics Modifications - Woopra for vBulletin

Woopra (http://www.woopra.com/) is a hosted live tracking site that allows you to examine the live stats of your website. This plugin will allow your site to be tracked by Woopra. You still need an account on Woopra and your site to be approved for this to work!

Install & Config
Install the product_woopra_stats.xml in your product page. Upload the bitfield XML to your XML directory under includes. Enter your Woopra Site ID number under your forum settings options. This is needed for the template to process. There are other options there also!

Please click install if you install this! Support faster to those with "Install" clicked, but not needed. Thanks!

Please Note!
Woopra does not support this plugin. I do. So if you have any problems with the plugin, please contact me. If it has to deal with the software that they provide, I can not deal with it. Registration problems on Woopra I can not deal with either.

Woopra Official Plugin Directory URL
Woopra on their site has an official plugin directory on their website, however it links back to this post.

Screenshots
They are limited, but you can get an idea by visiting their website to see how it works and the type of data that you get. I updated this post too include screens from my view. This is view the Java APP that you can connect with. It's very fun! (Note: I run 1900x1200 so they got automatically re-sized here... so.... http://www.frakmedia.net/shane/woopra/ is where I placed some images)

Known Problems

• User Title/User Group - This should be showing the "group name", not the title. I will have this fixed in 1.0.5.

Version History

• 1.0.0 - Initial Release
• 1.0.1 - Talking with the Woopra dev team, non-logged in users will show up as "Visitor X" and so on.
• 1.0.2 - New data can be passed: "Post Count", "User Title", "Join Date" Also the fields that are passed names are based off your default forum language. This means "Email" will still be "Email" (inside the Woopra Java App) if you have the forum default to Enligsh, no matter if your user has set theirs to another language. Moved Javascript code to load after forum display/thread listing instead of on top. Can be used as far back as 3.6.8 but designed on 3.7.x.
• 1.0.3 - $spacer_open is in more places than I thought making it count to many times. I moved it back to the header of "$_phpinclude_output".
• 1.0.4 - Avatar will not show up as a black box if the user in question does not have one in set. (A fix to deal with new app version.) Email will be standard clickable link in the application soon. Changed array name from woopra_array to woopra_visitor. Phrases for the items instead of using others.

I believe the issue there might be the way VB tracks users - if a user drops off the website without logging out manually then VB will "see" them as still present for a while. This may be based on session cookie length.

With Woopra I believe it is better able to ascertain when users leave the webserver.

That makes sense. What about user names?

Here's a post from the Woopra forum regarding VB & usernames:

This looks promising, too bad it's limited to 10k pageviews per day.

I'd pay for a live analytics tool though. Having to wait a day for Google to crunch their stuff is annoying.

Well it seems both my +10k websites were approved for free beta in <1 minute O_O

Off to install this plugin

The Plug In looks for a non-empty Site ID to determine if it is "active". To make the plug in work and have the additional items show up, install the plug in as directed, then put some random number in the SiteID and remove the following line from product-woopra_stats.xml file :

woopra_id = '$woopra_site_id';

Also, the plug-in looks for the "home" url and on my system that is the root URL and not hte subdirectory that the forum is located in, so I made this one change.

If you already installed it and the avatars are not showing up, in the Plug-In section of vBulletin, "Header: Add Woopra Javascript", edit "parse_templates" and add "forum" or the subdirectory your forum is in before /image.php as seen below.

PHP Code:

$woopra_avatar_url = $woopra_homeurl . "forum/image.php?u=" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']; 


You could have also made the change in the xml file ahead of time, but I didn't test this.

Yeah, there might be a better way to do it, but that seems to work for me on this revision. You will see in the javascript that there is other parameters being passed and those are the ones that make it so you can see the avatar and other info in your stats.

I am looking forward to another revision of the plug in.

How long does it take to get approved? I applied 2 days ago and still haven't heard anything - my site has less than 1000 page views per day

Never mind - got approval after 4 days !! Just going to install it

[Kaycee123]

Installed and working great!!! Thank you very much!

I have no idea what you are saying here... I dont think image.php works for this if you draw your avatars from files instead of the database.
