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!!!!

Originally posted by NTLDR
Is that what you get when viewing vbstats.php or the vbstats installer?

NTLDR,

When I call the installer I get a blank page, and when I view the source code of that blank page that is what I see.

Thanks

[NTLDR]

All I can suggest then is that you re-download the zip file and check your uploading the .php files in ASCII mode in your FTP Client.

[caislander]

OK NTLDR, I will do that when I get home this evening, my boss doesn't mind me on forums during breaks but he would probably draw the line @ me working on web projects not related to work

Thanks for the help

[caislander]

NTLDR,

Thanks for your help I fimnaly got it up and running, the problem was and still is to a point, that the files in my directorys are php3 not php, so the installer was trying to include global.php anf=d it didn't exist. But my next problem was born of my own stupidy, as i did the install I did not do the optional hacks at the time, planning to do them later, well to make a long story short the browser window got closed before I could make the modifacations, now I don't know where to find the instructions for those changes, can you tell me?? or is there someother way (file) that I can make the url exclusions and other changes in?

Thanks again

[caislander]

Ok, I found that answer. So upward & onward to the next problem, where & how to I change this so that it looks for the .php3 extensions instead of just .php?

[EZ-Dozet]

I bet this has been answered and I don't feel like going through 66 pages. Does this hack work with 2.2.8

thanx kindly

[AsedaH]

i installed this about 10 minutes ago on 2.2.8. It was a flawless install. However, i didnt install any of the options. I don't need them as of yet.

[GZ_Tanis]

seeing how there is 20 pages here im sorry i really dont have the time to read them all

What I need to know is, is it possible to only choose certian parts to show for this? Cause all i really would like to show is the forum stats, member stats (without the referrals we dont use it), and last 24 hour stats. The top posters is somethin i would like also but the other stuff like countires and OS and that I can do without. But before I install this I want o be sure I can just set it up to show those things and not the stuff i dont want.


Also you wouldnt by any chance of a php3 version of this? It is such a pain to go thru all the files and change the php to php3


I awiat your reply in earnest,

installed the hack but get an error on my forums homepage:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in pathtoforums\vbs_counter.php on line 74

My phpinclude template looks like:

ob_start();
include("vbheader.php");
include ("vbs_counter.php");
$revdis = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

the other file in there calls up a file that reads data from another database and displays it on the forums.

when i run the vbstats.php i get:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in E:\domains\dvd-swaps.co.uk\dvd2001\dvdforums\vbstats.php on line 88
1046: No Database Selected

this is prolly cos my other file has mysql_close(); in it but if i take this out the vbstats starts looking in my other database!!

any ideas how I can get the vbstats to work. i have tried putting the include("vbheader.php"); all over the place in the template but no joy

EDIT
Got it going I had to add to the vbstats code and counter the code from global.php which connects to the database as my other file was closing all connections to mysql. works like a dream now. great hack

Thanks Bane for this nice stat.
