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!

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.

But you still have to put this somewhere to call that template:

$linkhits

Otherwise how does it know where to put the hit counter?

Surely it's all in the hook 'forumbit_display' if that detects a forum link (if ($forum['link'])) then fetch + merge the newly installed template (linkhits) - jobs a goodun! (in theory) why this worked for me and does not for you i'll have to look into.

Works 100% for me, just by installing the product. Great work, thanks a lot!

Propbably because I don't have a last post column for my links.

worked great,, only problem i see is..
the redirect hits count towards post count on the board ?

Threads: 2, Posts: 688, Members: 3
i tried to turn off post count, but it still shows a post for every redirect..
good work tho so far installs

Yes Loco Macheen, i know...i don't think there's a work around for this without file edits!

This worked fine in RC3 but is not working for me in gold.

Well what is the code edit so that it does not count as posts? I cant have it counting toward posts

Works in 2 Gold installs i have!

And the code edit would need a re-write of this hack, it was the only way to have this as an xml product without the edits.
