Bounty: bbclone + Drupal 5x

Posted by CalonDdraig on October 11, 2007 at 9:36pm

Hello Guys,

I've been trying to work out how to make bbclone work with Drupal 5x for a while now, but the technique used in 4x doesnt work.

I'm prepared to offer a $20 or £10 bounty to anyone who can tell me how to do it and provide an example!

Many thanks once more,
~CalonDdraig

$40 Anyone?

Posted by CalonDdraig on October 13, 2007 at 9:39pm

how about $40 for this?

i'm sure it would also help the rest of the drupal community, and be useful to others. Also, I would ask that the code/solution be posted here to make sure the Drupal community/userbase benefits from this.

That's got to be worth something hasn't it?

Offtopic: How about a bounty system?

Horde has a nice bounty system, what about drupal.org offering the same? This would allow to get more modules developed and advancing existing ones - would offer a bounty for this to be developed ;-)

Regards,

Martin

Good idea!

I think that's a very good idea Martin - rather than paying individuals to do work for individual projects, it would be better to offer a place where modules/patches and new features could be requested and given back to the whole community.

Personally, I think bbclone is a marvellous stats package and I'm supprised that no-one else has brought this up. I think it could really help the community.

You probably already tried this..

Hi,

We used bbclone with our old drupal install before we upgraded from 4.7 to 5.x and moved to using google analytics at the same time.

I don't recall whether we modified the 'official' code to get it working, however I thought I'd post the snippet we used anyway.. can't immediately see why it wouldn't work for drupal 5.x

Insert the following at the top of your index.php page (below the <?php tag:
$bbrequest = strtolower($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
define("_BBC_PAGE_NAME", $bbrequest);
define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "bbclone/");
define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR."mark_page.php");
if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER);

(note this assumes that bbclone is in the bbclone directory, edit to suit your site)

Are you sure permissions didn't change after you upgraded your site? Anyway, if you still need any help getting bbclone to work let me know and I'll see if I can figure anything out on my test install.

All the best.
