How do I embed some code into the footer of the forums?

[Covert-OPs_]

We have a "hit" counter that we want to place on the footer of our forums page. What file, where in the code and how do we get there to place it?

You just need to open the footer template and experiment a little. Try it right before this:
$ad_location[ad_footer_end]

Or you could just edit the powered by vbulletin phrase

Why would you edit the 'powered by' phrase to add a hit counter??

[Homeworld'sa]

Because you can.

[cbiweb]

That's a very bad philosophy, and horrible advice.

There is a footer template where things like that can and should be added. What possible reason, other than "because you can", could you have for adding hit counter code in a phrase???

I don't see the sense in editing a phrase to add a graphical element and associated code.

Adding a counter to a global template such as the footer will count EVERY hit on every page - is this what you're after or are you looking just to have the counter register hits on your forum home?

You can add it by going on to your Admin CP> Styles & Templates> Style Manager> Your Style> Edit the template named "Footer"> Add the code of your counter on the very first of the footer code and you're done!

All the best,
