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.

Ok, I removed it from the referrer table and left it in the excluded list. Thanks Now, I'm feeling better everyday on the $160 I spent for vBulletin.

Cool! Yes, it's a very well spent $160.

Lionel - Have you tried commenting one line at a time and seeing when vbStats kicks back on? which line is killing it I mean?

no I have not.

Actually when I reverse the order, I get vbstats to display the following not when you invoke it, but it actually prints it in all headers.


Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/haitianforums/vbs_counter.php on line 74

more info could be found in post# 3 here

I fixed it by hardcoding the path ./admin/config in global.php

What could be the problem here:

A ton of errors.

7. Be sure to add this line to your phpinclude template:

include("vbs_counter.php");

-----------------------------

A lot of people miss that step because it's after it says to upload your files. :up:

[vTed]

Under 'browser' and 'operating system' , the 'other' and 'unknown' numbers seem to be increasing by as much as 600 a night (and i'm pretty sure these are not 'real' hits) with no other numbers increasing. Any ideas?
take a look http://flashping.com/forums/vbstats.php

is vb stats counting some other activity on my server?

[Gutspiller]

It could be something you missed in the hack. Most likely you will probably have to retrace your hacking steps and make sure you did everything. If everything checks out, I would think that either somebody has a browser that the system doesn't recognize or it's a bug with the detection software. :up:

I am going to rewrite the way it detects countries. I thought encoding would be much better but it seems a mess.

Great hack, Bane!!
I saw it's the first one on vb.org, more!!

Just an off-topic, I suppose.
How could I read from PHP the user's TIMEZONE, along with the country ??
I though could be an enhancement a new page with a list of all timezones (with all the 3-char identifiers) and statistics of per-zone users.
I wouldn't prefer not to trust the timezone value of the user-table (I saw it isn't often upgraded by the user itself)

Thanks a lot.
Bye

How can I include the "member stats" in the main forum page on the welcome panel? Please help!

Thanks
