Modifying stats module to not count my visits

New Member Joined: May 03, 2005 Posts: 7

Hi,

I want to change the stats module so that my visits are counted as hits. Can this be done? Sad

I'm new to Nuke so any detailed help would be appreicated.

What version of nuke are you using? I can't see where your hits wouldn't be counted?

In includes/counter.php, your beginning code should look something like this

Code:

if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "counter.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}


global $prefix, $db;

And then the rest of the script, ending with a PHP closing tag of ?>

Code:

if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "counter.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}


global $prefix, $db;


// REST OF SCRIPT


?>

Starting with the "global" statement, modify the text above to this

Code:

global $prefix, $db, $user;


$userinfo = getusrinfo($user);


if (strtolower($userinfo['username'])!='yourusername') {

Then, add this line just before the closing PHP ?> tag

Code:

so that it looks like

Code:

if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "counter.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


} 


global $prefix, $db, $user;


$userinfo = getusrinfo($user);


if (strtolower($userinfo['username'])!='yourusername') {


    // REST OF SCRIPT


}


?>

You will change the value for "yourusername" to your nuke user name using lowercase.

Tested, and it's not working.
It would be nice to have an option too choose if e.g. not to count hits from admin

Well, that thread was three years old and not based upon RN. So, maybe try this instead:

Code:




if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "counter.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}


global $prefix, $db, $admin;


if (!is_admin($admin)) {


    // REST OF SCRIPT


}


?>

Thanks. It works Smile

Is it possible to add more users to this? E.g. Admin and user...

Well, every admin will be excluded (i.e., those you set up in Edit Admins). If you want to also exclude certain regular users than you have to combine the two concepts. Maybe something like this:

Code:




if (stristr($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], "counter.php")) {


    Header("Location: index.php");


    die();


}


global $prefix, $db, $admin, $user;


$userinfo = getusrinfo($user);


$userName = strtolower($userinfo['username']);


if (!is_admin($admin) && !in_array($userName, array('username1', 'username2', ...)) { 


    // REST OF SCRIPT


}


?>

Just remember to lower-case the user names. If you do not wish to do that (thinking you may have duplicates after you lower-case them), then remove the strtolower() function around the $userinfo assignment.

Is there any way to exclude several IP ranges from the hit counter?
I monitor my site from several locations around the world but dont want these hits to count.

just add an if(!is_admin around the counter include in the header thats the most simple way

This exclusion capability is already embedded within the latest 2.30.xx version of RavenNuke(tm). Check out the rnconfig.php settings down torwards the bottom. You might want to migrate to RavenNuke(tm) or at least download it and see how this was implemented. Wink

i dont like RavenNuke i much prefer starting with stock phpnuke 7.6 and building it how i like it rather than having to start with something and remove what i dont want its much easier for me

That is fine, but I also said this as the alternative:
