Title: Counter for HTML block
Post by: reverendcolin on March 12, 2009, 10:23:02 AM

I'm not a coder and this is probably a stupid question.

How can I add a counter to the advertisements I have in HTML blocks?

I'd rather they didn't show but I would like to know who or what gets hits.

Thanks,
Rev.

for a counter, you can simply go to google and search, when you find one, then pop it into a block and have it set for only admin view  ;D

You can't do that with HTML block, but you can with PHP block. Example codes:

Code: [Select]

global $scripturl, $modSettings;

if (empty($_GET['wwwRedirect']) || $_GET['wwwRedirect'] != 'ad_redirect')
{
echo '
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="', $scripturl, '?wwwRedirect=ad_redirect"><img src="http://some.ad/image.here" alt="ad" /></a><br />This ad is clicked ', !empty($modSettings['ad_redirect']) ? $modSettings['ad_redirect'] : 0, ' times.</div>';
}
else
{
updateSettings(array(
'ad_redirect' => !empty($modSettings['ad_redirect']) ? $modSettings['ad_redirect'] + 1 : 1,
));

redirectexit('http://www.where.is/the.ad');
}
I'm hoping that you can modify the code to suit your needs. Click count will be in $modSettings['ad_redirect'].
