Transform your sidebar with a comprehensive and visually appealing Traffic Counter & Statistics Widget. Unlike the standard "Who's Online" widget, this tool tracks visits over time and provides detailed historical analytics for your Forum and the Article Management System (AMS).
New in Version 1.3.1: The add-on is now Native English, ensuring 100% compatibility with international forums right out of the box. This update also resolves packaging issues, ensuring all assets (including background images) are installed automatically.
Standard Version (Free Forever)The Standard version remains fully functional! It includes:
Advanced Traffic Analytics:Monitor unique visitors with precise counters for the Last 24 Hours, Current Month, and Yearly Totals.
Professional Charts:Daily and Monthly graphs now utilize fixed ranges (last 30 days / last 12 months), ensuring a consistent and gap-free visual experience.
GeoIP Integration:Automatically detects and displays flags of the top visiting nations directly in the widget.
Latest Members Display:Highly customizable layout for new registrations. Choose between Avatar only, Username only, or a compact Avatar + Username column style.
AMS Integration:Full support for Bob's Article Management System, displaying total articles and article views alongside forum stats.
Real-Time Monitoring:Tracks and displays current online users, guests, and analytical bots separately.
Full Report Page:A dedicated button links to a comprehensive statistics page featuring detailed tables and comparative historical graphs (Traffic vs Activity) using Chart.js.
High Performance & Accuracy:Optimized logic ensures minimal server load and mathematically precise visitor counting (no double-counting of archived logs).



PRO Sparklines: A stunning, dynamic mini-chart in the sidebar showing the last 7 days of traffic trend.
Device Bar: Visual indicator of Desktop vs. Mobile traffic percentage at a glance.
Advanced Tech Charts: The full report page gets a massive upgrade with a new "Technology & Quality" section (Humans vs. Robots, OS, Browsers, Device Types).
Premium Look: PRO users get a sleek Purple & Blue theme, distinguishing their forum from the standard Green style.
- Live Pulse Monitor: A "heartbeat" animation that pulses when live monitoring is active.
- Essential Counters: Visitors, Threads, Posts, Articles (AMS), and detailed daily/monthly traffic tables.
- Smart Grid Layout: Charts now automatically adapt to 2x2 grids on smaller screens.
Permission System:Added a new permission: "View full statistics report" (located under General Permissions).You can now control exactly which user groups (e.g., Admins, Moderators) can access the detailed full-page report.- Important: Please ensure you enable this permission for your Administrative group after upgrading.
Real-Time Charts:The daily and monthly charts now integrate live data.Previously, the charts showed archived data (updating overnight), causing the current day to appear as "0". Now, the graphs calculate today's visits in real-time, providing a seamless trend line up to the very last second.
Improvements & Fixes:- Widget Cleanup: Removed the "Guest" placeholder text when no registered users are online, making the widget interface cleaner.
- Data Logic: Fixed a discrepancy where the "Monthly" count in the widget didn't perfectly align with the sum of daily visits.
- Stability: Code refactoring for better stability (centralized logic in the main controller).
