Statistics Modifications - vB Weekly Stats

Title
vB Weekly Stats - Display and email weekly forum stats

Version: 1.7

Description
A plugin that will display and email weekly statistics for the vBulletin forum software. The project was spurred from a project that a fellow forum member was working on which got me thinking about a better way to monitor what was going on. This allows me to keep up with statistics very easily and monitor the progression my forum is making.

Language: PHP

Tested System: CodeCall.net

License
GNU although a link back to http://www.codecall.net would be nice for anyone using.

Great mod. Very very useful for our moderators and myself.

FYI The most recent version does seem to cause all vB emails sent to be treated as HTML emails or to have all their carriage returs remapped...resulting in :

I just needed to uninstall this mod because it seemed that it was affecting my vB automated e-mails. They were lacking line breaks; once I disabled this mod, all was back to normal.

Read the thread for this mod I was looking forward to installing it... until I got to news that the latest version is causing problems with emails. Hopefully this'll get sorted soon... looking forward to installing.

It's a great mod and well worth the effort. Just got a little buglet that I'm sure will get ironed out soon...

Serious BUG found i'm using VB 364 and while having version 140 installed i had NO problems with my general forum emails, in the last few days since i updated to version 150 all my forum email was being crunched or parsed for some reason after days and nights of uninstalling every single hack and backstepping anything that i might of altered i found out that the 150 update is causing this so i put back the 140 verion and everything is working at 100% can the author please look into it and comment about this???

This hack also garbled my standard emails that vb sends.

I traced it down to the plugin called 'replace Content-Type with text/html in headers'. If I understand correctly, it simply replaces 'text/plain' in all email-headers with 'text/html'. However, the content of the standard emails from vb are not HTML and so there is no formatting to apply and everything is just one line!

I deactivated the plugin.. and badabing: Emails are formatted correctly again as plaintext.
I ran the weekly cronjob and the Statusmail displayed correctly as text/html in my mailclient (kmail)??
I don't quite understand why.. maybe kmail checks for html-tags. Although it does say 'text/html' in the header.. however, it seems to work!

The fix for this is to Disable the only plugin that this Mod creates.

Realize that the e-mail will come showing all HTML so it won't be parsed.

Fixed in v1.5
This is not an official fix and may not work for you. This is a general purpose fix for all HTML emails sent through Vb and has been tested on vB v3.6.2 with PHP 5xx

1. Go to the Plugin Manager
2. Search down to Product: Weekly Stats
3. Click: replace Content-Type with text/html in headers
4. Replace contents with:

PHP Code:

if (stristr($message,'<HTML>')){
$headers = str_replace('text/plain','text/html',$headers);
} 


Explanation
This patch searches the message body for <HTML>. If it finds it it then replaces the content type with the content type for HTML emails. It's not bullet proof and can be fooled but for most people it should work fine.

If you want a bullet proof solution specifically for Weekly Stats the following should work:

PHP Code:

if (stristr($subject,'SUBJECT OF YOUR WEEKLY STATS EMAIL HERE')){
$headers = str_replace('text/plain','text/html',$headers);
} 


This can be made more efficient using the stripos() function to return as soon as the fist occurrence of the string in etiher case is found.

I've also modded the original install with the primary general purpose fix above for those who want it.

This is not endorsed nor approved by the original authors but here for those who may need it. All the other usual disclaimers apply.
