Fast and reliable visitor counter for Joomla!
Module: VCNT - Visitorcounter
Function: Fast and simple visitor counter for Joomla! The visitor counter identifies and counts visitors via the IP address. Bots can be detected and excluded over the user agent header.
Note: No personal data is stored.
Languages: English / German
Description
The module is intentionally kept very simple and displays the number of visitors for the following periods: Today - Yesterday - Week - Month - Total. In addition, the number of visitors who are currently online can be displayed.
Meanwhile, the module has been completely redesigned and offers everything that a visitor counter needs. Bots can be excluded with a blacklist, just like any IP addresses. The counter can be displayed in three different views: horizontal, vertical and in the compact view. In addition, a contest game can be called from a certain count status. An option for database cleanup is also available.
Since version 1.7-2, the visitors can be counted invisible. The module can only be displayed for specific user groups, e.g. only Super Users.
