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.

You could just put something like:

<a href="vbstats.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><smallfont>Statistics</smallfont></a>

anywhere you want in your footer template. You can add any enhancements like making it bold.

Well that's almost what I wanted to do. But actually, I want to take the code in vb_stats.php and tack it on the end of whatever template the main forum index is. So that, beneath the Private Message part, the vb_stats would show there.

TIA!

I just copied a few of the variable's defenition lines into index.php, and set it up like you are trying to, though its under my "Currently Online" display.

LuBi make sure that you add

include("vbs_counter.php");

to the php include template. That error springs from having no entries in the database.

I've been reading up on this issue because I just installed vbStats on my system with phpPortals. I dug deep into the system and couldn't find a file named "phpinclude" at all. But, I did manage to find (from this thread) instructions to add your include statement to my "globals.php" located in my vBulletin forum (/forums) directory.

After I added that statement, it all works fine.

BTW: Your DOCS Install.txt file is vague on this issue. It just says, "Add this statement to your phpinclude template"..... This, I think, is where people got a little lost. I know I did. I was looking for a file the whole time.

phpinclude is not a file. It's a template. It also shows up at the top of Modify Styles as PHP parsed code:.

Excellent hack!!! working great on both my old 2.0.3 and my new 2.2.0...

Much appreciated.

[JTMON]

ok I'm having a slight problem trying to add the relevant code to my forumhome template. I copy the appropriate code I want from the vbstats templates into the forumhome template where I want it. It displays correctly, links and all, but I get no totals for any fields except threads, members, and posts, the rest are empty. I have put the vbcounter... in the phpinclude template also and if I goto vbstats.php all the totals are there.

[Bane]

You need the corresponding code from the vbstats.php file added in as well if you wish to have that found

[JTMON]

So look at the variables in the source and put them in the template?

[Bane]

No, you would have to hack them into the index.php if you want it to show on forumhome.

What are you trying to include there?

[JTMON]

Member Stats, Forum Stats and Last 24 Hours. I have everything showing up except for the totals. All the text and tables are there. I just don't know what to grab from vbstats.php
