You can turn on/off individual stats, count data from last x days for some of them if you wish, trim titles/usernames to save page space, make several other functionality/make-up customizations... See screenshots.

You can have Main Stats box shown on several pages...

It's shown by default on forumhome (to disable it set "Main Top Stats box on ForumHome" to "Disable")

To activate another location:

a) put location-name in "Stats on Custom Pages" field in hack settings

Explanation: When you open some vBulletin php file you'll see this at the top - "define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'XXX');"
XXX is location-name we need. It's usually the same as php filename (without extension, of course)
Note: When setting several locations then separate location-names by commas

b) add "$cybtopstats" to the template called on page where you wish to have stats shown


Notes:

-To set options go to: vBulletin Options > Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics
-"Top Thanked" requires Abe1's "Post Thanks" hack to work
-"Latest Donations" requires "Cyb - PayPal Donate" hack to work
-To move Top Stats box somewhere else on forumhome: 1.-Set placement setting to "None" 2.-Add "index" to "Stats on Custom Pages" setting 3.-Add "$cybtopstats" wherever you wish in FORUMHOME template.
-If Top Stats box is too big because of long usernames or thread/forum titles be noted that you can trim them in ACP options.
-When forum/thread titles or usernames are trimmed, mouse-over will show you full version.

Before you ask:

This was created for vBulletin forum and will integrate into it perfectly if both, forum and addon are set properly. If you are using custom styles you may need to add product variable manually to your templates. Product will work with no problems on vBa CMPS if it's installed to the forum root folder. If you have installed vBa CMPS to some other folder you may experience several problems, including bad links, stats not loading,... etc... especially if you are using several domains. Put your cmps_index.php to forum root folder to avoid these problems.

Installation:

• 1. Required:
• Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP: Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
• 2. Optional - if you use custom styles and stats are not shown:
• Open FORUMHOME template and add "$cybtopstats" where you wish Stats box to appear
• 3. Optional - if you use custom styles and link to re-enable stats is not shown:
• Open desired template and add "$cybts_enablelink" where you wish "Enable Top Statistics" link to appear
