HITCounter - Link Forum Counter

This is a port originally By Zajako and Mone.

With kind permission i've updated the mod for vBulletin 3.5, this version comes with an enhancement, i.e via your ACP (forum manager) you can adjust the starting value for any counter.

Installation is done easily via the importing of an xml file.

See screenshots!

Enjoy!

Update : Huge Respect to KirbyDE who really is the genius behind this mod, cheers dude.

Update 1.3 : optimized code - (no more updates to totals) - Thanx KirbyDE

If you use this mod please click Install - cheers!

We all have those kinds of days once in a while.

You need to edit the install text file as to where you need to put the code and in what template to make it show up. I figured it out but there will be those that don't.

You mean this doesn't insert the new template 'linkhits' anymore with the installer?

Yes, it inserts it, but how do you call it?

[b6gm6n]

I can confirm that from this distro (zip) supplied in this mod/thread there was no problems with installation, the template installed on all skins successfully from the single xml file.

DEMO : http://www.hardwired.myftp.org/forum/

I would suggest that you un-install the mod, check the for 'linkhits' template (see if it's been removed through un-installtion, remove manually if nessarsary) then re-install via the product import section.

This mod may only work with RC2, but i'm not sure.

Ok, I'm gonna bail you out herre since you don't seem to understand what I mean.

You need to add $linkhits in the template to have it show up.

Check to see if the mod installed this plugin > HITCounter_merge template
and > HITCounter_cache_template

Now this maybe the strange occurance i've found using IIS, works fine locally, calls correctly etc... but on a remote host setup it fails, but for the life of me i don't know why...

as i said i've just downloaded myself, un-installed the previous, re-installed and it all worked 100% > http://www.hardwired.myftp.org/forum

But on a remote machine i'll have to try some more tests...

LOL You STILL have to put the variable to call the template in the template you want to call it from. The plug-in only adds the template you are calling, not the variable to call it.

[b6gm6n]

ok so the hook "forumbit_display" which calls 'HITCounter_merge template' >

if ($forum['link'])
{
	$forum['linkhits'] = $vbulletin->forumcache["$forumid"]['replycount'];
	$forum['replycount'] = '';
	$forum['threadcount'] = '';
	eval('$forum[\'lastpostinfo\']  = "' . fetch_template('linkhits') . '";');
}

isn't working for some? - what about $forum?
I understand what & why your saying what your saying, but surely it wouldnt work for me locally and on my unix server if something was amiss...

I actually don't think it's a bug with this plugin... it's a cache template problem of some kind.
