I like the counter for its simplicity and ease. I can configure almost everything from the administration, and only needed to change a few things in a Spanish translation to look fine for the site. I have a couple of problems: every time I hit reload, the counter keeps adding a visitor, and the number of visitors is always too high for the site, like over a 100. I don't know if it is a problem with the counter, or something else, but beyond that, the module is very useful and well written.

Thank you for the review. If you have a problem, please contact me in the support forum!
No issues. It works.
It would be nice to add IP and Flags of country visitors. Then it can be commercial.

Thank you for your review and features suggestion!
Easily installed and running on two sites. Gives you what is expected of a counter: precise information, opt-out the bots, and no extra add-ons that distract from more important areas of your site. Yes, as others have said, I also missed the English instructions, but even still, it's very straightforward.

Thank you for your review!
PS: With the next Joomla! major release (2.5) the project website will be completely rebuilt in English. Thanks for the patience!
5 stars! Why? There are a lot of counters/stats modules in the JED, and believe me i tried a lot. All of them worked, but... this one is simply neat, no bling bling css and whistles, simply all the options you wished easy configurable by the module parameters. If you need stats wich you can simply integrate to your website, grab it! Thanks to the developer for sharing.

Iam using in three Joomla 1.5 sites. But its not working perfectly in Joomla1.6 site. While refreshing or reloading the page, hits get simply increased.
Best for Joomla 1.5 sites
Not recommended for 1.6

Thank you for your review.
The version for Joomla! 1.6 uses the same code basis. Why don't you ask first in the forum for help? I can't reproduce the behavior on my test-installations.
Just now downloaded and installed this extension. I am usually hesitant to download extensions that aren't marked as "popular", but how do you know until you try it? Had no problems installing and I like the simplicity of the visitor count. There are plenty more options and even a contest that you can involve your visitors in. Maybe if my site grows I will utilize this feature.
Thanks for such a good quality extension.

I have been using different modules for a while now and was always bemuse at the hits I was getting because I knew they was incorrect. Joomla online Guest for example.
I looked at this module and thought well I read Basic German and thought what the heck give is a go.
Easy to install, over to module, the module is mostly in English great! I did not understand some settings, watched the installation video, bingo installed.
What I was impressed with is three options:
1: Block Bots
2: Set locktime
3: Activate Contest
This is exactly what a module should be,I used the compact view fitted my site a treat.
Thank you so much for a wonderful module.

If you don't like the colored pictures of the vinora counter - this is the best alternative design: All information in a cool design. If the counter does not work from the start this is depending on the settings of php4/php5 running-mode of your hosting server. Simply download the php4 version of the extension and all is ok. (That is the point: the latest version of this extension is in php5.)
Owner's reply
You are right! The latest version is only for php5.
Greetings
This is what a free module should be. It should do what is prommissed and surprise you in rich options. Small, clean (no tables) module fits every site and need for counters. And that without the need for heavy stats component. Good job! Thanks!

Thank you for the review!
...and found here our counter:
-You can easily turn on / off all features of this counter
-You can set the desription in Backend (no language File is needed for frontend)
-configure the reload rule
-configure your old count
All is configured/installed in 5 minutes,
and we don't now if it is possible to make a better one..

Thanks for the review. Very nice!
I could probably give an excellent for this, however
I speak English.
No English documentation left me guessing.
Most of the settings are quite obvious, I think some of the more important ones are not.
If you are looking for a less cluttered but just as informative "visitors" mod, I suggest trying this one
---easy install.
I did not have to use another extension to place it into a menu like I have had to do with some of the other "visitor" mods.
