Ok I am going to release this hack. It's is a views counter that works with the cache, but does not work with the accelerator. It is VERY BETA, I warn you up front, so don't scream and yell if it doesn't work perfect. In fact, if you are not comfortable installing BETA hacks, don't install this at all. With those things in mind, download the hack below. This hack was based off of JB007's original hack for 6.0x.

Thanks Slurpee... if you used JB's from before and upgraded to this one, would the counts form the old one remain?

Is there a way to keep the date and time of when the thread was started? Took alook at your site and think this is going to be another one of those must haves!

Thanks made the fix. With regards to placement because of other hacks....There is no way for me to make a bunch of different variations of this hack with all the possible layout changes and hacks people have added. You will have to have some understanding of placing variables in the public_forum_page.pl template if you have a bunch of different hacks that are affecting placement of the $v_counter variable.

I do BEG you please make it compatible with qasics hacks. Whois online. I am sure qasic will help if you ask He is a heck of a guy (when you can get him to respond to ya LoL) Anyway if it is compatibale with popular hack it would be nice. Anyone who finds out what it is compatible with should list them so you know what hacks cause problems. That way when people ask you can tell them that it is compatible with or not any particular hack.. (Less problems for you the DEV if you know what works and what doesn't) Anyways this is only a suggestion...

It works with Who's Online just fine, as documented in the instructions. If somebody wants to document which hacks it works with and let me know, then that's fine, but I am not running a lot of hacks, so I don't know. I mean it should work with EVERY hack, it might just be a matter of where code needs to be placed in public_forum_page.pl, depending on your board's layout. Also you can look at my board an the stuff I am running, and get a good idea of what things it works with. [ 11-27-2001 11:08 AM: Message edited by: Slurpee ]

You didn't hack CP_VARS_MISC.PL properly. Re-check that part and make sure you did it right, you should have a radio button to the turn the views on and off in Miscellaneous Settings.

Have no clue about Hypercells, I don't use it. if someone wants to document it, feel free and I'll throw it in the directions. As far as the Last Reply hack goes, it works fine with that. It's just a matter of where you want to place the $v_counter variable in public_forum_page.pl.

I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. It's not complicated, just takes A LOT of patience, and editing of public_forum_page.pl and ubb_forum.cgi in places. There are so many different format changes I made to do that, it would be almost impossible to point them all out. The basics are just to move variables around in public_forum_page.pl.

hothitrado, dreamer, and darkm:
Look into the file "ubb_forum.cgi".
#### FIND: #######
&processVIEW($ThisHTML);
}
print "$ThisHTML";
#### CHANGE IT TO: ######
&processVIEW($ThisHTML);
}
#### FIND ####
&processVIEWS($_);
}
print;
#### CHANGE IT TO: ######
&processVIEWS($_);
}

Thanks FreeTv
I did what you told me and I dont have this problem anymore .
The new problem is that the counter is not refreshing. I have to clear the cache everytime if I want to see the real number of the counter.
Can you give me any hint?
Also in the readme file of this mod says that If I have installed the whosonline mod I should add some things and some others if I dont have this mod.
I have it installed and I dont get if I have to do this step
Look for this:
print "$ThisHTML";
Replace that with:
if ($vars_misc{count_views} ne 'no') {
&processVIEWS($ThisHTML);
}

Allen - Really haven't done anything, just have a shared plan from Hosting4less.com. Never a problem, board always run smooth, despite its size. Perhaps I'm just lucky...lol...I doubt it.
I do have some code that will make this work with the accelerator, but until I am comfortable everyone has the non-accelerator version running without problems, I am not going to release the accelerator code. Once the bugs have been fixed, then I will. It does already work with Who's Online, not the PHP version though.
So who is still having problems, I see freeTV has been helping out with some troubleshooting. Who still can't get it working right?

question, is there a bug on line #176 of the instructions with this?:
# delete the counter file
unlink("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/$exact_path/v_counters/$in{t}.counter.pl");f
Is that f supposed to be on the end of that line?

How close is this hack to working with the accelerator?
Before I did my upgrade, I had a hit hack, and I'd really love to have one again when I open up the board again.
I was working on the "hit hack" when I encountered a problem with code, and FreeTV pointed me in this direction.

got this working with no problem. . though i don't like the default style of it; it spaces out threads too much, but that's all matter of preference and it actually inspired me to figure out how to edit public_forum_page.pl and give "views" its' own column! woohoo!
thanks

UBB v6.1.0.3 Good job, Slurpee! This mod works great! Here's a couple problems I found with the installation procedures. 1. The wordlets mod included with the views package appears to be incomplete. I installed the wordlets mod included with the Who's Online? Beta 2 This one installed flawlessly using ultimatebb_mod_wordlets_install.cgi. 2. The Who's online conflict instructions were incomplete. There were two "print" statements that needed to be commented out in UBB_FORUM.CGI to prevent cached items from being displayed multiple times. The following 'prints' should be commented out if you have Who's Online installed. sub get_forum { ... # get from cache, if it exists... ... # comment out this print print; ... # comment out this print print "$ThisHTML"; } Finally, I implemented a column "Views" format. To see the "views" mod in action: http://www.poetsofzwan.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

for those of you that want the views in a different section/column use this code for the PUBLIC_FORUM_PAGE.PL Template instead. Find (Note your may defer if you have Last Reply hacked in) [/code]
Insert After ( Note that where you put this will be the place where a new column will appear I placed it after replies and before last post)
</pre></div></div><br><br><br>Your next step will be to place the data where its suppose to be:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold">Find</span> ( Note this may be different)<br><div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Code</div><div class="ubbcode-body ubbcode-pre" ><pre>
Insert After ( This must correspond to where you place the column in the step above this)
[code] You are done..upload the template and if you have to clear you cache. DOC [ 12-27-2001 10:16 PM: Message edited by: ::DOC:: ]

Yes, the Hack works, but I have a question:
I use UBBNews 2.0 hack to. I must switch off the cache to bring the scripts to work´or the news will be stucked old and notrefreshed. I use UBB 6.05 and the news hack a long time and it works with cache. Now I update to 6.1.0.3 and put in several other updated hacks. This view coutner is the ony real new one for me. Anyone who use both hacks without problems ?
