• FIX: error in logic recording the number of notices seen

• UPDATE: statistics prior to this update record MORE lgv than occurred
• UPDATE: change "views" to smallint in DB and change max option values to: 65535 (warn & force)

This update accurately measures "Notices seen", which can only ever be the difference between option values of "Warn visitor after this many views" and "Force registration after this many views". For settings of 2 (warn views) and 8 (force registration); the number of notices that can be seen prior to registration can be one of: 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 views. Force would occur on the 7th view.

Therefore, in your statistics you should see counts for 1 through X notices seen, and (X + 1) views would all be forced registrations.

If you'd like to ensure your statistics are accurate and don't mind losing statistics for LGV that occurred prior to today, simply run the following against your xenforo database:

SQL:

TRUNCATE TABLE xf_wutime_lgv;

Note, the above doesn't remove "daily stats" from the native XenForo daily statistics system. To remove those erroneous stats entries run:

SQL:

DELETE FROM `xf_stats_daily` WHERE stats_type in ('lgv_forced','lgv_warned','lgv_total');

• FIX: statistics error due to lack of proper findOne() on user_id
• FIX: missing phrase on native XF statistics checkboxes
• FIX: second chart not displaying
• UPDATE: add option validator to ensure force value is higher than warm limit value
• ADDED: LGV stats now available on native XF statistics admin page (XF 2.3)
• ADDED: doughnut chart layout and labels
• ADDED: daily statistics opacity to make things clearer
