Good job!

Works like a dream.

Just one suggestion, or question - how easy would it be to add the stats summary to individual forums?

We have a lot of people linking to individual forums from other websites - and it would be really nice to have this feature available on there, as often they will not go up a level, and just stay in the forum.

Regards,

Canvey

BTW - the instructions were very clearly written - can make a big difference.

That would be quite difficult but possible. Currently, the stats are also available in every category. If your users would link to the category instead of the forum they would be able to see the stats without climbing up one level.
Alternatively, you can add a stats link to the main button line (my profile | register | search | faq | forum home), so the users can click on it.

just wanted to let you know that your link doesn't link to http://UBB.Tovok7.de/

nice job on the hack

Thank you for the hint, but like Charles Capps would say: This is the designed behavior
So, I can catch all visitors with my homepage stats.

Download the zip file and follow the instructions. It will fix that problem. I think they have a Multihack file for it too.

please change the link to the correct file, I can't read German!

Installed via MultiHack on test system and up and running

For those having a problem with Mod WordLets I used the MultiHack from this thread:

https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=31&t=000010

This was the only way stupid me could get it installed.

I did use Multihack and u know...i got those errors like that Please help...

Use ONLY the Mods Worldlet install that comes with Who's Online v4 for UBB6.1. The official one hasn't been updated and I haven't tried the MHK ver.

I used the one in the Stat hack and it worked fine.

It's cool man

I got that prb also, lets see if the new release fixed it

What new release?
Where will be no new release of the Stats Hack. If you want to use the Multihack file, you have to install the Modification Wordlets first which is available in many hacks. Even I provided an installation description for it in my stats hack zip file.

Still a problem with the hack. If a user turns off the display of Member Total but still wants to display the Featured Member and Post Average, you run into problems. Both Featured Member and Post Average rely on the $StatsData{'TotalMembers'} field (FM for selecting a new random member, PA for calculating total posts/total members). But $StatsData{'TotalMembers'} isn't loaded unless Show Member Total is enabled, which results in the subroutine GetMemberCount being called.

So basically you need to add a &GetMemberCount; to the first line under sub Averages { and sub FeaturedMember {

Great hack, otherwise

I gonna to fix this in the next release. Meanwhile I hope that nobody would use such a combination of the features.

Did you find other dependencies I forgot to consider?

[ 11-08-2001: Message edited by: Tovok7 ]

When you dopleae include update instructions for those of us that have it installed already, please

Just open ubb_statistics.cgi and add &GetMemberCount; to the first line of sub Averages { and sub FeaturedMember {.

Hey. always looking for ways to make my forum beter!

I had the Calender Hack installed before I installed this hack, and after I had it installed the calender Hack "disappeared" !!!

There is no more Link in the forum home to the Calender and that calender link at the bottom of the page also dissappeared! Please help!

where is this hack at?

Did you use multihack? The stats hack can't be responsible for the disapear of the calender hack 'cos it doesn't touch the files which are responsible for it.
Try to reinstall the calender hack!

It must be! Because before I installed the Stats Hack everything was working just fine, and as soon as I was done with implementing the Stats Hack and cleared the Cache, all of the Calender Hack was gone!

Domain, did you use MultiHack in any of these hacks? If so, make sure you copied the Calendar Hack's files to the 'source directory' and didn't upload it straight from the 'output directory' or any directory that isn't the source one.

[ 11-16-2001: Message edited by: LK ]

No, I did not use Multihack!

So you must've modified another directory, for example if in Calendar Hack you modified C:UBBcgi-binultimatebb.cgi, now you modified C:Ultimatebbcgi-binultimatebb.cgi. Just rehack the Calendar Hack.

Damn it!

I just uploaded the back-ups and took the stats-hack out, but my calendar hack is still screwed.

I didn't tell you to do that, I told you to rehack Calendar Hack.

Now you should upload vars_wordlets_calendar.cgi again (or rehack the stuff in ultimatebb.cgi)

Upload the vars_wordlets_calender.cgi from the original you mean?

Just leting you know that I got it fixed!

The Stats Hack overwrote the wordlets_calendar in ultimatebb.cgi, therefore of course all the Links mysteriously dissappeared.

Great Hack Tovok! took me awhile to get the hand of the autohacker, but it's ok now.

How could it be stats hack fault?

Where can i download the hack??
The link doesn´t work!!

Works fine here http://ubb.tovok7.de

An mhp made with multihack 2.0 has been made, if you want it
