[release] if wanted - signup stats

Hi everyone,

this is my first little hack for vbulletin - it is not a hack for the forum per se but something you can add to it.

What is the point of it?

- It is designed for sites that have pages that get signups to the forums. You need a custom form you have made to do this although if you send people directly to your signup form that would work.
- It is useful in that it takes the variables like ?source= from the url referring as well as ?term= this is designed for goto.com advertising especially but can be used for other things
- It records if the user a) registers (and then the username as well) and b) if they just click through to the forum. You can then try and design your page to maximise these two variables.

To see an example of pages I use:

http://www.ASciFi.com/ this is my main page
and also i use as signup pages

http://www.talkstargate.com/
http://www.talkfarscape.com/
http://www.talkandromeda.com/

see?

it also records how many times people visit the page (and will count them if they register there in the future ie sets a cookie).

- This was really designed to work for my site which uses multiple domains. If someone registers the usual way nothing happens at the moment because for me they might have come from say http://www.talkfarscape.com but the boards are on http://www.ascifi.com and i can't read the talkfarscape.com cookie. If you only use one domain this should not be a problem though.

If you want this then bascially i can just give you my index page, a redirect page i made and also a small change that you need to add to member.php (best to create member2.php - delete lots of it as you only need signups and add a little bit).

If anyone is interested i will try and add it but won't bother if no one is as it will take a bit of time.

i would like a copy of this please

ok, i will try and assemble something into a zip file, it will require a bit of tweaking by you to make it fit your site.

wouldn't hurt to have it.................more information can only be positive.....

I'm interested as well...

how's that zip coming along, Chris??

sorry been on holiday.

I am working on a slightly better version that will suite most of you better as i am guessing most people only use it across one domain. Then i will release it.
