The Today Counter...

Counts your daily visitors using a Cookie and prevents
mulitple counts with an IP list....

Now these MODs use a Cookie to prevent excessive file access
The Count routines should not be accessed more than once a
day for Clients that accept the Cookie...
It uses a IP list file to prevent clients not accepting the
cookie from incrementing the counter more than once.


There are 3 versions of the Basic Today Counter one of these is
all that is required to have the counter...
These are the heart of the package and installs the 
display on your BoardIndex. 
2 files will be changed BoardIndex.pl and Subs.pl.


the First is TodayCounter302b.mod 
and Requires:

UsersToday

the Second is TodayCounter_GZip_302b.mod

Here are the Optional Installations available for the TodayCounter

Options:

The first Option is the Today.mod or Today_NoLink.mod
Today.mod installs a link to your boardindex
Today_NoLink.mod does not install the link
just the SubList.pl mod allowing you to install the 
link where you want.
this adds a YaBB screen showing all of the
Today data and other information.
It will mod the SubList.pl and has today.pl to be copied to your Sources directory
it Requires:
Userstoday MOD
Recent Users MOD
Topstats MOD
TodayCounter MOD


The Second Option is the TodayAdmin.mod
This option adds the Admin Today Counter Display  
It Shows the last 500 IPs  
& IPs are clickable links to the ARIN WHOIS Database. 
This MOD installs a link on the Admin Page in the YaBB Stats area 
and is Admins Only.
It will mod the SubList.pl and Admin.pl and has TodayAdmin.pl to be 
copied to your Sources directory, in ASCII.
 
Requires: 
Userstoday MOD 
TodayCounter MOD 

The Third option is the todayc.pl and todayall.pl for NON YaBB Pages.
The first todayc.pl only displays the total count for the day.
The second todayall.pl displays all available todaycounter data.
These files require Server Side Includes most of the time meaning the
file extension must be .shtml
Copy the file you want to your YaBB directory the same place your YaBB.pl is located.
Chmod 755

you call these files with something like... 
 
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/yabb/todayc.pl" --> 
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/yabb/todayall.pl" --> 

from your .shtml file
 
Each mod has it's own instructions and should be read there.
 

IMPORTANT!!!

Backup files to be modded before installing!!!!

Month Count and total count will increment with the daily count.
Counts use userstoday.mod and the display may be inaccurate until after midnight.
Users that have multiple Members sharing the same IP will only be counted once a day.

As this type of counting requires a long time to truly test...
Please Install and test this with care and interest...
