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.

DEAR GOD CHECK THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION!!!!

[DannyITR]

Why is everyone talking about a php include file? I didn't get any file like that in the download.

[DannyITR]

I'm now certain that the line it told me to find is not in my index.php file. The only line that resembles it is this one:

makenavselect("Statistics & Logs","<hr>",$df);

What do I do now?

[DannyITR]

Help!!

I modified the template file but now I get this error when I try to get into templates from the cp.

Parse error: parse error in /home/www/montrealracing/forums/admin/template.php on line 297

I took out the code I put in but it still gives me the error.

[DannyITR]

I reverted to my backup for the database that I made before starting the mess and I'm still getting an error! How can this be?? Please help me.

Can someone give me their origonal template.php file?

[Steve Machol]

Just reupload the original template.php from the zip file. It would be illegal for anyone to send you a copy of this file.

[DannyITR]

Thank you, that worked.

I still have the problem of not finding the required code in index.php.

Are you able to tell me why this may be or where I should look for it. Is the file suppoed to be one huge continuous mess?

[DannyITR]

You know what, I'll just live without the option hacks.

I have one question though: It doesn't give me the number of hit or page views. These are the most important stats. How come they are not there?

Also, I added the code to phpinclude but I still get the division by 0 error.

[Bane]

Danny, if you are running vb 2.2.2 there is a link to a set of instructions for that version in the 2nd post in this thread. phpinclude is not a file its a template. And if the division by zero error is there it is likely you havent added the line correctly. I would advise you to take a patient look at what you have done so far and make sure you have followed the instructions correctly.

[DannyITR]

I have fixed the divide by zero error. The template hack gives me errors but I don't want to push my luck.

What I need to know is where to find the total hits the forum is getting like it says in the first post. I see views but no unique visitors which is what really counts.

[Hamsh]

I have re-uploaded everything, done the hacks for 2.2.2 and added the include line to phpinclude, but I still get a blank page when I run install_vbstats.php. Any suggestions? What have I missed out?
