HitCount Plugin

[david.matthewson]

OK, I've now got this working and so many thanks Martin for a great plug in. 

Some points to help other newbies like me..

1)  Line needed in gsconfig.php looks like this:

define('HITCOUNT_URL', 'https://www.ip2location.com/download/?token=47[deleted]Jo10Bf3&file=DB1LITEIPV6');

Note the 'ampersand'file= bit...depending upon the editor obne uses this might be escaped.....

2) Note also that the IP6 file contains IP V4 as well as IP6 but is slightly larger. So use this one.

3) Once you have edited the gsconfig.php and refreshed the plugin page, manually download the dbase using the link on the plugin page. You should see 'indexing' flash up several times - if you don't see this then something has gone wrong. Then 'reindex' the page, refresh and 'countries' should appear.

4) The map view also works and highlights the countries with hits.

Great plugin!


Edit: Also bear in mind that it takes a finate time for the Countries tab to be updated. It starts off blank, with no graphic at all for me, even though other tabs show data. 2 or 3 hours later, a quick refresh, and 'Countries' show up.
