Statistics Modifications - vB Weekly Stats

Title
vB Weekly Stats - Display and email weekly forum stats

Version: 1.7

Description
A plugin that will display and email weekly statistics for the vBulletin forum software. The project was spurred from a project that a fellow forum member was working on which got me thinking about a better way to monitor what was going on. This allows me to keep up with statistics very easily and monitor the progression my forum is making.

Language: PHP

Tested System: CodeCall.net

License
GNU although a link back to http://www.codecall.net would be nice for anyone using.

Hmm, that is a good suggestion. I didn't link about large amounts of registrations (as mine only gets about 10 a day) but those who get 100s a day added up for a week would make quite a long list.

I'll probably have to limit the amount shown and then make it a configuration field.

lol 3.6.4?

God I love this place!

Great addition! Thanks!

[Kadi]

Great!!! I've been waiting for something like this.

A few questions:

Will it work on 3.6.4?
Can I change which day and time it is sent?

Thanks

[Jd19]

Not sure, is 3.6.4 out? If it is, I'll test it and see.

You can change the Cron job to change which day the email is sent. It is called CCWeeklyStats.

There is a bug, the installer doesn't put the title in the Scheduled task, so, when you edit it make sure you put a title in or it will not let you save.

[krazycivik]

ive installed this hack but when i type in the domain forums etc all i get is a white page. have i dont somthing wrong? ive set everything up the way you said. 3.6.2 or it dosent work with this version? thanx

[Jd19]

Zia, still haven't tested with 3.6.4. Thanks for your suggestions, I will consider them.

Krazycivik, I haven't tried it on that version so I don't know but it should work fine as it doesn't change anything and only reads the database. The screen that goes white is the weeklystats.php page? Have you tried running the cron job and seeing if the email gets sent?

[krazycivik]

nop.. ok im on cron but i dont know what else to do im new with this thanx would appreciate if you could explain..

Cheers,

[Greek Wizard]

Seems to be working frin on 3.6.4.

manual cron worked, will have to wait a week for auto cron, but it should be fine.

installed.

[Jd19]

Auto Cron jobs reports 0 for everything. I'll be updating today with a fix and some other changes.

Greek, thanks for testing!

Krazy, once inside of scheduled tasks find CCWeeklyStats and click run now.

You may have to go into vBulletin Settings and selected Weekly Stats then change the users that are being emailed.
