1.4.3 - stable

Okay, I have found some features not working.

I've installed this mod and ran the cron task manually a couple of times to see if I can get the stats to show up when going to the Site Statistics link in the navbar quick links.

It shows the Forum Stats, and Top Threads and Forums.....however, when I click on the other links to show me Display Colors and Resolutions or Countries and Regions, etc....I don't get any stats coming back to me.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

They do not appear immediately - and make sure you've done template modifications, too.

Nice script apart from the UK resolving problem.

I've been monitoring my site most of the evening, and know most of the users that have been online, using the site are from the UK. Yet not once as their been any sign of a UK flag.

I have seen similar scripts to this before, and even they put me in the US. lol I wouldn't mind being in San Francisco with the current horrid weather here in the UK!

That shows the country as "GB" and I looked in your database_country.php file and noticed that there is a entry for the "UK" but not for "GB" - so I made a new entry:

"GB" => array("United Kingdom", "Europe", "London", "Pound Sterling", "uk")

And now it looks as if it is correctly distinguishing UK visitors?

That would be it, I forgot to replace all instances of GB with UK when I downloaded a new version of the database. It's fixed now - please download the new archive, overwrite the XML and reupload database_ip under includes/psistats/.

Will do - thanks

[syrus.xl]

Cool... working fine now with UK.

Great hack.
