UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V5 Mod Questions Hits Counter 2.0 ! Here

Hello EveryOne !!!
-I've done the second release of Non-SSI Hits Counter for UBB. The changes are :

1. Support for minimum security private forums.

2. Support for Multipages thread hack ( By Jaxel )

3. Support for IIS ( By AllenAyres )

4. And .. The Counter is displayed on the thread's page without SSI.

- You've to update threads since the last feature adds a search & replace point in thread's HTML code .

Is this a quick upgrade from version 1.1, i.e. can I just replace ubbcount.cgi & be done or do I need to re-install the mods in all the affected base files again?

Thanx

Ok, if you've installed this before , then you need to change the multipages thread code in forumdisplay.cgi and the Thread's Link , ubb_library2.pl code , and reupload the new ubbcount.cgi file.

Installed and working.

Nice job, JB007!

There's still a problem with multipages.

The page number links from the forumdisplay will give you an empty page only on multipaged threads posted to on the current day. Previous days multipaged threads not posted to today are unaffected by this bug.

Also, the counter doesnt work on the top border for multipage threads either, again, only for threads posted to on the current day.

Fixes anyone?

Why does it have to work thru forum display? This is not always accurate. If they come in thru a book mark etc, the counter isn't tripped. Also what if they are sent the url thru email, (send a friend) then it won't count either.. Does your new update cover this?

I can't for the life of me find the offending code that affects the multipage links in forumdisplay giving empty pages and the top border counts in the pages not working.

It only affects multipage threads posted to TODAY!

It's driving me nuts!!!!

JB007...

This fix DOES NOT work....
code:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In ubbcount.cgi look for:
$countfile = qq($ForumsPath/$expath1/ubbcount.file);
$tpath = qq($ForumsPath/$expath1/$expath2/HTML/$tn$pn.html);

replace it with:

$countfile = qq($ForumsPath/$expath1/ubbcount.file);
$tpath = qq($ForumsPath/$expath1/HTML/$tn$pn.html);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK...
I've found that the multipage links on a current day thread are NOT pulling the Forum #.

I got this via "properties" when right clicking on of the multipage links....

ubbcount.cgi?expath1=&expath2=&topic=000487&type=&number=2&page=4

expath1 is NOT returning a value for the forum number. But why is this affecting only multipage threads that have posted to today only, and not older threads not posted to today?

Arrrrrgh!

Works real well with multipage links on raiderpower.com, thanks JB.

OK, got a partial fix from JB007 at ubbhackers.com that fixed the multipage link bug.

But one bug remains.

Now, all that needs fixing is the counter on the top border of the multiple pages. They all get stuck at 1 or stay blank, and never increase.

Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

The fix is to redownload the new zip file from the same location and do the last 2 steps in ubb_library2.pl .

Best Regards

JB007,

Some of the non multipage threads are also not counting up on the top border.

JB007,

Have you worked out the conflict this hack has with the move/redirect hack yet?

has anyone else had a problem with this? Whenever a topic on my board generates a new page, the counter gets reset. I tried to look over the code, but honestly, I'm really not that good with this stuff. If someone could offer some suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

the board is at http://neofantasy.rpghosts.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

How I add the views/hits to private forums ?

Well, since the multipage hack is now included in 5.47a, can anyone get this to work as a clean setup? I wanted to reinstall it, but since it constantly resets itself, it was basically a useless hack..

That and without the Writing Possibility. I havent seen so many confused people in my life after putting that up. My whole board turned into "What is writing possibility" questions.

I really like this hack! It just made some wierd things happen to my "Pages: 1 2 3" thing and it also somehow got rid of my "Latest reply by:" thing. The code was still there, it just couldn't come up. If anybody would be willing to give me a hint as to why that would happen, I'd really appreciate it. I really like this hack! Leave me a private message if ya can.

Found it. Theres a few spots where you cut out some of the last post by. Im still fixing mine, so all I can tell you is to compare the 2 hacks for what you wiped out. For example, the following text is from the last post hack, you erased it and need to repeat this step.

Now look down maybe 15 lines or so for this code:
$TheDate $FormatTime

Right below it, add the following:

By: $lastAuthName $lastName

BUT in the hits hack, you replaced that line:

And once more ASSUMING you used profile linking, otherwise, your on your own...


From last post by hack:

In the subroutine TopicGutsHTML
Look for this code:
$ThisURL = qq($NonCGIURL/$ExactPath/HTML/$threadinfo[1].html);

Below it add the following:
$lastAuthName = qq( );
$lastName = $threadinfo[8];
$lastName =~ tr/+/ /;


Do that again, you wiped that out too. Life should be grand now.

Well unfortunitly this still does not count the hits coming from "LATEST POST SSI" from my homepage. I am averaging over 300 hits per topic in my faststats logs but the hits in the thread it self shows only a fraction of the REAL hits.

Anyone have a work around yet?
