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 idea why I am getting those errors?

add this to your phpinclude template:

include("vbs_counter.php");

[SharkY-GA]

That fixed it, thanks.

Are these unique page views or just total number of page views?

[Steve Machol]

Is there an upgrade for vB 2.2.0? I was mislead by the title of this thread. The installation instructions and in particular the changes to admin/install.php do not match 2.2.0.

[Steve Machol]

By the way this is a great hack!

One thing though - is there anyway to exclude the listing of private forums from the Top Forums list for people who don't have access to these forums. I just tried it as a regular member and I could see these forums listed.

[Bane]

Steve, I will be coming out with an update this week. The current version works with 2.2.0 just some differences in where to put the items.

In index.php find

makenavselect("Statistics & Logs","<hr>",$df);

and just after that put

// vbStats
makenavoption("Config","vbstats_set.php","<br>");
makenavoption("View Public Statistics","../vbstats.php","<br>");
makenavoption("Exclude URL","vbstats_set.php?action=add","<br>");
makenavselect("Statistics & Logs");
// vbStats

And that should get it working for you I believe. I havent had the chance to upgrade yet. If you have any problems let me know.

PS - You can exclude forums in the vbstats config.

[Steve Machol]

Thanks Bane. For some reason the links for 'View Public Statistics' and 'Config' don't work from my Admin CP. The URLs look ok, but when I click on these links I get the '404 file not found' error. However when I go to these links directly they work fine.

[Bane]

The config works but not the exclude?

[Steve Machol]

No, the 'exclude' link works but it doesn't actually exclude the domain I entered, and the other two links don't work at all.

[Bane]

the exclude system is a bit confusing right now, it doesnt actually list what you exclude.. just excludes it. I will put the list in the next version. I'll try this on 2.2.0 and let you know what I get.

I agree with Steve here. vbstats.php won't be found this way. I think it will only look in the admin dir.
