Addons • Plugins • Forum Statistics 0.4.6

This extension will place a small tab in the panel on the index page that shows some statistics about the forum. These statistics are able to be enabled and disabled at an admin's discression.

If you still obtain versions from 0.2.5 - 0.2.7 from before 10/06/06, please update now because an unfortunate testing variable was left on and this is now removed...

Warning! We have not performed any code-review or testing of this addon. Use it at your own risk.

  • FYI...
    This file appears to be 0.2.8 not .0.3.1

  • my bad, i haven't updated it in a while...

  • Still says 0.2.8. Could you please update? :)

  • Uploaded version 0.3.1 of Forum Statistics.

  • Nice add-on. But can you exclude hidden discussions and comments?

  • I get errors with this new version??

    Warning: fopen(/nfsn/content/artmgs/public/forum/extensions/Statistics/options.inc) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /nfsn/content/artmgs/public/forum/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 58

    Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /nfsn/content/artmgs/public/forum/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 60

  • I got it to work now. I had to chmod the options.inc file.

    I think the original options.inc file was overwritten when I upgraded to the latest version.

  • :-/ But normally when you override it, it keep the file permissions...

  • Hallo

    I tryed to test this extension but I get this error:

    Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain/subdomains/test/httpdocs/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 83

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain/subdomains/test/httpdocs/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 85

    Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/httpd/vhosts/domain/subdomains/test/httpdocs/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 60

    Kifo seems to have solved this problem. Do I have to change any settings? The readme file doesn't mention anything. Can anyone help me?

  • Uploaded version 0.4 of Forum Statistics.

  • Updates:
    - Username links to account page
    - New 'Most Active Users' statistic
    - New 'Posts in the last 24 hours' statistic

  • Warning: fopen(/home/hebele/public_html/vcd/extensions/Statistics/options0.inc) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/hebele/public_html/vcd/extensions/Statistics/default.php on line 80

    options.inc chmod is 777 but giving this error after the new update. no idea :/

  • WHat about options0.inc?

  • there is no file called options0.inc
    its not coming with the package

  • Uploaded version 0.4.1 of Forum Statistics.

  • This extension won't work with my Vanilla although I think I installed it in the correct folder... But when I go to the Extension Manager it just pops up the "Category Jumper" serveral times (that I can Enable if I want to) but I can't find the "Statistics" anywhere and therefore can not enable them. (Same with the German language extension by the way. I can't pick "German" from the drop down in the manger, but I will post this in a seperate thread.)

  • Great work Vincent!

  • Sounds like you're having file permission problems again carolyn...

  • Good stuff Vincent :)

    However, would it be possible to also have a link on the newest user's name? I tried to understand how to add one by myself, but it seems to be way beyond my skills.

  • It Doesn't actually look like i made the program to include single line user links... but i'll enable it anyways...

  • Uploaded version 0.4.2 of Forum Statistics.

  • FEATURE REQUEST:

    * could we have an option (perhaps as a preference) that only REGISTERED/LOGGED IN users are able to view the stats?

  • BUG REPORT:

    * Statistics Preferences which are 'toggle' update without any problem, and work straight away. The numerical preferences ("Number of Rows" for 'top posting users', 'top discussion starters' and 'most active users') are saved to the options file, but do NOT work.

    For instance, if I go and change the number of rows for 'top posting users' from '3' to '10', nothing changes in the stats display - it still displays only 3 users. If I open the options file and have a look, I see:

    "top_posting_user => 1 => 10 => someuser => 535 => someuser2 => 455 => someuser3 => 387"

    If I change the number to '2', I still see 3 users, and opening the file shows:

    "top_posting_user => 1 => 2 => someuser => 535 => someuser2 => 455 => someuser3 => 387"

  • It might also be a good idea to perhaps exclude 'banned' users from the statistics.

  • Uploaded version 0.4.3 of Forum Statistics.

  • Updates
    - Bug fixes
    - Enable/Disable/Only allow users to view
    - Radio button Framework functions

  • Uploaded version 0.4.3 of Forum Statistics.

  • @Vincent: thank you very much for the update! :-)

    Unfortunately, the bug reported mentioned here still persists. I have just opened my options file, and checked, and there I see:

    top_posting_user => 1 => 3 => someuser => 535

    Note, that there should be three users listed, and (as you can see from this line), there is actually only 1 being listed.

    I think I know what the problem is: the options.inc file is being updated *only* when a new message is posted, or a new user registered, etc. It seems like it is NOT being updated when the preferences are changed.

  • this should have been fixed in the previous version.... time for round 2...

  • Uploaded version 0.4.4 of Forum Statistics.

  • @Vincent: hey, we're keeping you busy today! :-)

    Thank you very much for all this work! - It is greatly appreciated!

    I have already received some 'ooh's and 'aaaah's from my users.

    Last request:

    * could we perhaps have a prefence that allows us to exclude BANNED users from the stats? - In my forum, for instance, there were a couple of very prolific posters who have been banned, and they (still) keep showing up on the stats.

  • Good idea icouto! Just make it so you can turn an option on and ff in the Roles & Permissions whether or not the Role should show up in Forum Statistics :)

  • I've just added 0.4.4 version and I'm getting the same problem as Icouto is reporting. Stats looking OK on homepage but not being able to alter layout/number of shows in the preferences panel. Is there a codefix we can use on the default page?

  • Uploaded version 0.4.5 of Forum Statistics.

  • Update for 0.4.5
    - Bug fix....
    - Notices

  • Still not working for me!

  • Do I need to set the folder for statistics to 777 or something before i can change anything in the preference panel?

  • Yes Keith, I tested this add today and I tried to change the options and nothing happens but I went to the extention file and change the permissions to 777 and all is working now

  • I kept the permissions of the options.inc file at 0666 because that usually works for most servers. 0666 also works well for the default.php file..... bur sometimes stuffs up.

  • My server uses 'phpsuexe', and nevertheless, the bug still persists...

  • Changing the permissions to 777 fixed it for me but it has some mini bugs in there somewhere, i had to reset it three times to get the arrangement that i wanted.

  • Vincent, great extension and thanks for all the hard work. Here's one thing I noticed: the permission to modify Statistics settings, i.e. the link in the Settings->Options panel will appear for all Roles with any access to the settings.php page. So, for example, if I have user Roles with less than Administrator permissions, but who have access to the Settings page (for adding/editing new Categories, let's say), they'd be able to modify the settings on the Statistics extension. Is there a way to limit permissions to Admin only?

  • That my friend aerocapture, is something that will be completely fixed in the new major version of forum statistics. The whole back-end of the program is going to be re-vamped once i find the time for it ;)

  • After beeing a time confident with this wonderful extension, I've now a BIIIG problem.

    If I want to choose, what should be shown in the statistics and what not, the MODIFY Button doens't do that, what he should do.

    I get

    The statistics have been successfully reset

    and all crosses in the checkboxes are there again, although I removed them

    Therefore, I can't change the statistic options...

    Iloaded and installed the extension again and again, but nothing changed.

    What could I do, to fix this BUG?

    THX, Richard

  • options.inc should be writeable.

  • wonderful... it works...

  • i was getting scared then :P

    I'm working on the next main version at the moment so you may have to be patient with the current versions errors, if you come across any

  • But people should mention them still as then Vincent can make sure they don't get into the new version :D

  • I would like to see an option added where, when set, would allow the Admin to define (either in Roles and Permissions or on the Statistics settings page itself) which groups can see the statistics. I'm trying to limit mine right now so that only I can see them, not the rest of my clients.

    Also, current issue: Whenever I change the setting to either view or not view the statistcs, I get the same success message: The statistics have been successfully reset. Shouldn't there be a different success message for each of those actions (i.e., "You have successfully updated the setting. Statistics can now be viewed.")??
