this is getit

trying to understand vb better :d

As you know already, i’m ready to release some paid products here, and i have to inform everybody right now about what comes with each script:

1- Each release comes with its own sub-forum, and you need to purchase the product/subscription to have access to support and the files.

2- Lifetime support. When you pay for a product, there is no yearly fee or anyother cost… this is applied to any version and bugfix.

3- No License/Copyright notice. There is already no notice in any of my products, this is also the case for the paid products. So there is no « branding free » option here.

4- There is no callback function in any of my scripts, so i’m not tracking if you installed the script on the right site… what that mean?… you can install the script on any site you own, no matter the number you have.

The only detail i’d like you to respect is the fact that you paid for it… i sure think you will want the others to pay for it too, so you do not pay for no reason. Do not pirate my scripts so you are paying fair trade and i support the engine in a better way.

You pay for the script, but also for the support related to it. For customization though, you will have to PM me so we can make a deal on that.

How would I go about sharing my own little tweaks and tips with this fine community? ^^

it’s very nice to be here

Very simple display of each usergroups you decide to put in the legend, to gives you the choice to display a legend of the usergroups markups in the active users listing.

It’s a simple product upload too, and here are the settings in the menu of the same name:

Remember a detail… this is the only version in the vB industry that will display the legend in forumdisplay and showthread, where you activate the setting « Show Users Browsing »…

it is active on this site, you can see it on reading the bottom of this page!

note: updated to 1.0.1, by suggestion from [user]Shelley[/user], i reinstaured the usergroup selection by number instead of the selection box… so you can decide the order of display of each usergroupid. also, i try to fix the seperation of the activeusers list, reported by[user]Shelley[/user].

note: updated on wed. feb. 24, 2010, trimming values to make sure they do not display empty... now version 1.0.2

IMPORTANT: you have to UNINSTALL the version 1.0.0 before installing the 1.0.1… or you will have twice the display and some other typos.

I feel I might introduce my self here. My name is Kate, I’m a newbie here, someone told me that i might find some good information here so… basically that’s why I’m here, and for any good advice i might get also… hope to have good time here

This product is a complete statistics display engine, which can be used to replace some graved:
Site Life Status – vBulletin.org Forum
vbTrends – An Enhanced Statistics Box on Forum Home – vBulletin.org Forum

These two were overtaken by me, and were requested by many visitors here lately… They were not used for this engine as they are not following my protocol… but thanks for the inspiration!

The first goal was to add some informations on your « Site Statistics » block in the footer of the Forumhome, this one:

Here is the block without any product added:

Here is the simple version, adding details without changing the format:

in this version, when you hover the numbers, you see the whole stats!

And here is the Textual version, for the ones who do not like to hover words!

…

But there is more. Basically, this engine which require only one query to create the whole statistics, and one additional query if you display X new members, is also the same which create an entire statistics and tendencies page which is displayed like this:

the link to access this page is the title of the statistics block on forumhome… or misc.php?do=tendencies >> vbEnhancer.com – Statistics and Tendencies

The statistics for each day of the chart can be read by hovering it. if you hover the colors parts, you see their values, and if you hover the date, a complete description of the day is displayed.

You have some settings with this engine, to change the colors in the charts, and configure what is seen:

…

That’s about it for the features.

A note on the installation: This engine is using your existing site content to create the statistics display, and statistics can not be built with mist… You need a sitelife of at least 2 complete months to make it so, therefore the product file will verify this information and if your site is too young, the product will not install itself.

Some persons would say they want their stats anyway… too bad, performances and tendencies can not be evaluated with no content. Anyway, what would you do with these details, a 2 months old forum is not sellable, the stats are too tight to mean anything, and you can not determine anything based on a chart that have nothing to display.

Ok, and the usage… This engine is not a complete « google analytics » clone, it just display what already exists on your site. Posting and registrations rate is not very useful if you want to see what is popular and what not… but it’s a start. A more complete statistics engine will be released soon for more complex analysis and trafic evaluations.

So what can we see in these charts?… The days your members post the most, the % of real active members, as you can see if the newly registered are the ones to be active compared to the existing ones (if you have 10 active and 8 new registered, it means your existing members are not participating!).

That’s about it…

note: july 18th, 2009: version updated to 1.1.0, with the addition of the « New Subscriptions » display, and some esthetics changes. Now you can show the number of new subscriptions in the main page, giving a good idea of the members membership. This is a on/off switch.

note: july 22th, 2009: version updated to 1.2.0, with the complete transformation of the Tendencies calculation. We now use a complete new engine to calculate the tendencies for the next month, accurate and using the gray matter instead of my fingers. It requires a new file upload btw, you need to upload the file to the proper location and update the product… added permission per usergroup too… check the Options page, in the bottom!

note: august 1st 2009, no version change, corrected the « divide by zero » problem… again!

note: august 4th, version changed to 1.2.1, just a detail, added the proper code to fetch usergroup markup for « Latest X New Members » … so now they show with their usergroup.

note: august 20th, 2009, added a « class_for_43.zip » archive in the distro to fix some incompatibility with older versions of PHP. as on this site we’re using only the latest PHP version to avoid collision of genres, i’m providing an « obsolete » version that will help those who are hosted on a server older than PHP 5.1… simply upload the folder the same way you do with the original code, it will replace the file « nex_stats_tend_classes.php ».

note: october 8th, 2009… after many tries to display the date properly for international languages, i think i have it… 🙂 this is a fix, so no version update. JUST import the product again, overwriting the actual installation.

note: lundi 19 octobre 2009, ajout du fichier langue française de la part de vBulletin-Ressources

This may look strange, but after a lot of discussions with others, a ton of details evaluated and some tests made, it was decided that vbEnhancer.com will cease providing outsiders resources and forums to give the place to vBulletin SEO Setup.

in the last days i added a forumlink to vBSetup, which is now the only place where i think it worth having a large vBulletin support community. I left vB.org because i thought it was in decay, and still, Brandon with vBSetup was able to proove that he was the man of the situation… that’s good to know if you want my opinion…

so if you need support on the day to day life of vBulletin, vBulletin SEO Setup is the place where to go now. vbEnhancer.com will resume its activities around my work, providing free and less free addons and products for vBulletin.

With Brandon and his team in the portrait, i’m sure you will be better served and you will have a funnier community there. Good Luck Brandon!

Hello everybody!!!

Nice to find a great vb community here 🙂

Just saying hello to you all .. Still a bit confused about the goings on here, but I guess I’ll keep poking around.
