see this?

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

check the path first plx...:(
i set the path of count.txt and ip.txt to "../addons/", if you like, you can change it to anything else...

or like this:

chage those two lines to:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

it will be ok!

BBQFan,

I made the changes, but am still getting the same errors. :(

You have to create two files, called count.txt and ip.txt and chmod them to 777.

27 May 2001, 20:41

Hm, i think there is something wrong.

It always displays this: (it is installed since two days)

vb test received page views: today = 1, total = 22. variant IP visitors: today = 1, total = 22.

today = 1 ? What does this mean? I know that there were more than one person on my test board, it should display today = 2 or so.

Suggestions on this?

i have found some servers set this::(

$ENV{REMOTE_ADDR} = 127.0.0.1

so every day the number of variant IP visitors is very ONE... we may try to change the counter code:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

to this new line:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

if you test vB on your local PC(like me), the visitors' IP always be 127.0.0.1. of course "variant IP visitors: today = 1,"...

Santa

30 May 2001, 08:31

still wont work.

I get today=1
total=1809

Santa

which "today"? views or IP?
i think this hack code just simple or i should double check it...

h4p3

30 May 2001, 17:16

Nope, both.

I tested it on my local Server (Gateway) and on my dedicated Server for my website -> same effect.

bbqfan

30 May 2001, 17:45

my GOD... i m very very sorry for my mistakes...
:(
the right codes have been put in the first post of this thread...

this time every thing would be ok...

bbqfan

31 May 2001, 21:16

sorry again!:(

another bug: these 2 variables $t and $day are collided with vB...

so it will bring on some unpredictable results...:(

the right codes have been put in the first post of this thread... i think so :)

Great... it works just fine now.. but

Where else can we put the counter code so that it does not count everything... like when you click on a forum.. and read a post.. or go to another page that is including the global.php file.. it counts as a daily visit.. heh :)

mmmh, i think it is easy too...

maybe you can put the display code like this:

Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------

in any Templates you want, instead of the Templates FOOTER, or you can just display one or more of $detail[1]~~[4].

but, you have to create some new count.txt and ip.txt.:(

I have installed bbqfan's hack and it works great!! I wanted to keep a running history
of my page views and unique IP's so I made the following hack and attached a
picture of what it looks like. There may be a better way to do this...but this is
as simple a hack as I could create!

NOTE: I could only figure out how to get this to work for daily stats. Weekly/Monthly
don't calculate correctly. If anyone knows what to add/change in the query
to get Weekly/Monthly to show correctly, please post the changes here!

Here's what you need to do:

First create a table called 'ip_views' in your vbulletin database, and add the
following fields: 'date' as INT(10), 'views' as INT(6), 'uip' as INT(6)

Note: You can run the following query in phpMyAdmin to create the table:

CREATE TABLE ip_views (
date int(10) NOT NULL,
views int(6) NOT NULL,
uip int(6) NOT NULL
)

==============================================================

** In bbqfan's hack in global.php

Find:

---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

CHANGE it to:

This works on vBulletin 2.0.1...any other 2.x versions should work, but I
can't verify. Hopefully someone will know how to make the weekly and
monthly stats add up the views/ip's correctly for the week/month!

This hack was working great for almost a full 24hrs and then it started resetting itself at random times back to zero (Both the visitor stats and the page view stats) So I removed it from my site.
