Description:
This is a basic hit counter. It uses a little php script and a text file to store the hits (no DB because it would be too stressful). Also you dont have to display the hits on every page you could just put it on your forumhome template, and it will still count all the hits

Installation Instructions:

1. Download and unzip 'plugin-pageviews.zip'
2. Upload the folder 'Counter' into your forum directory
3. Now open the 'Counter' folder, and CH MOD 666 the 'count.txt' file
4. Install the plugin
5. *Optional* If you want to be able to display the page views for today just create a Scheduled Task like this:
   
   Title: 'Page Views'
   Hour: '23'
   Min: '59'
   File Name: './counter/counter_daily.php'
6. Place '$pageviews' and/or '$pageviewstoday' in any template where ever you want to display the hit count.

FAQ:

1. Q: Where do I put the '$pageviews' thing?
2. A: Well... If you dont know how to do this then ill just give you a standard spot to put it.
   1. Open up your footer template

      Code:

      <div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>

      Code:

      <div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]<br>total page views: $pageviews, page views today: $pageviewstoday</div>
