Hello!

Because the problem on my site I needed to create a
site.
I wonder how do I lose data
contactor.
You can enter data directly into the table in MYSQL?

Or does anyone have another tip?

Hi Moretti,

which data you need ?

You only need "old" counter data if you wish to show a statistic image or if it is important that your vistitors can see the counts of current month /week.

If you only need the current count, you can set the parameter "Initial Value" to your wish.

PS.: of course you can create a little script which fill the counters database with dummy values, but i think this is not necessary

it is not easy to create "good", "accurate" data about a whole month.

If you would try it, you can try SQL Scripts like this:

INSERT INTO jos_vvisitcounter ( tm, ip ) VALUES ( unix_timestamp(NOW()) , UNHEX(SHA1('127.0.0.1')) );
( for unix_timestamp(NOW()) you must insert the correct date , e.g. unix_timestamp( '2012-11-21 13:00:00' ) )

But before : you must insert a row with the current count (your current counter value before a month). This is because you need the correct counter value. The max id is then the current counter value.
INSERT INTO jos_vvisitcounter ( id, tm, ip ) VALUES ( 12345, unix_timestamp(NOW()) , UNHEX(SHA1('127.0.0.1')) );

It is a little bit work to put that in an file and copy-paste some lines.. then correct the dates..
