Tiles "Total Hits"

[Frank]

stats.php

Total Hits: ';include ("$directorypath/includes/counter.php"); echo '<br />

Gives you this error:

include(\\INCLUDES

Remove:

$directorypath/

Total Hits: ';include ("includes/counter.php"); echo '<br />

In the demo "tiles" it doesn't have Total Hits. And one would be better off using SQL for hits.

Ya iv never really understood the point of using a file for the counter i plan to move it to the database before next release.

[Frank]

yeah! The robots play merry hell with that script, and that's what makes it useless.

[am-fs]

I do not use this on my arcades but i left it in the script, Like Dillon said it will be upgraded in the next release.

[Frank]

This might save you some time?

Code: [Select]


PHP

//--
//-- Table structure for table `counter`
//--

mysql_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `fas_counter` (
  `counter` int(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`counter`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;");

//--
//-- Dumping data for table `counter`
//--

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `fas_counter` (`counter`) VALUES
(0);");

SQL

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `fas_counter` (
  `counter` int(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`counter`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

INSERT INTO `fas_counter` (`counter`) VALUES
(0);
################################

Stats page?


The Query.

//Adds one to the hit counter
mysql_query("UPDATE `fas_counter` SET counter = counter + 1");

//Retrieves the current count
$count = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT counter FROM `fas_counter`"));



Total Hits: '.$count[0].' <br />

I was going to add it to the fas_gamestats and alter the name but this is better . 
Thanks

[Frank]

Yeah! Well if you want to start off with at least some hits - Like 1,578,209 - Just change the SQL (0); to (1578209);

HAHAHAHA! 

[Dillon]

Wait why wouldnt we want all the stats to be in the same table?

[Frank]

I agree with you Dillon, but probably make the var global and just add that to the "User Stats page"

You'll see with the Demo I sent - There's a lot of places/things where they could be functions to cut down on the duplicates.

I'll get around to it one day? Maybe!

Wait why wouldnt we want all the stats to be in the same table?

I was thinking about making a setting to enable or disable it, for users like me that do not care about the hits since i use Google Analytics on all my sites.

[Frank]

Well, in that case I would use the fas counter table and add an "active" column to it to switch it on and of.

[Dillon]

We could also use it in the gamestats table and add an active field for every stat so you can turn off each one if youd like... However i also dont remember there being a gamestats table or i just forgot about it so i dont know how its setup to be sure that it would work like that
