About showing your page as a referral, I think your forum placed in other sub domain, anyway you can censor your domain name in Admin CP to avoid insert your domain name in the list.

I have a right collumn on hqfun.com and when i put this code that needs to show me who is linking to me i got nothing you can see for your self on hqfun but when i put it below who is on it shows how is that?

<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral_links')"><img id="collapseimg_referral_links" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[referral_links_title]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral_links" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_referral_links]">

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/poll_posticon.gif" alt="$vbphrase[stats]" border="0" width="26" height="26" /></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$showreferrallinks</div></td>

Dear Mr.D,
You changed default FORUMHOME template, So I think you should Ignore template changes and use referrals.php page instead.

Thanks, just what I was looking for (although I took out the forumdisplay portion).

Would be nice if the referrer page grouped the results by URL and placed them together (so all the google.com showed together versus mixed all over).

[MPDev]

Since you don't seem to use the URL variable, maybe you would use it as:

$url 	= parse_url($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]);
$url 	= $db->escape_string(strtolower($url['host']));

and store the domain of the referring url so you can group them together?

I didn't see the field url being used anywhere, so doing that allows me to group the domains.

I used this instead :

PHP Code:

if ( !eregi( $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], $ref) AND $ref !="" ) $insert = true ;

Any reason why it shows the same site multiple times? I see in the screenshot, and in practice on our board where www.google.com is showing multiple times. Any way to make it consolidate those into one entry and add the total hits together?

[MPDev]

Because the referal links into you site are different - it groups referrals not by site, but by the link into your site (otherwise you'd only see one referral link from google.com versus all the referral links into your site).

[darksoulz]

I see, mind if I work on some modifications to it?
