Version 1.5.1 (bug fix), corrected paths to graphics.
Version 1.5.0 created, native for Joomla 1.5+.
Version 1.1 Changes:
* Added 5 new styles
* Added text mode
* Added random style mode (image only)
* Added support for JoomlaStats
* Removed hard breaks before/after post/pre-text
* Corrected base module style
the module works fine but I had to make a change the code to make it work with JoomlaStats
line 36 in mod_coolhits.php
\\ old code
$query = "SELECT sum(id) FROM jos_jstats_visits";
\\new code
$query = "SELECT count(distinct visit_id,visit_time) FROM #__jstats_visits";
I don't test the code throughly though. Its a better idea to wait for the developer to update his code.

The option to work with JoomlaStats does NOT work. I have made the author aware of this over a year ago but still the same error is in the 1.5 version. Here is the fix to get it to work.
Change line 36 to this
$query = "SELECT count(distinct ip_id,hour) FROM #__jstats_visits";
Otherwise this module is excellent and get my full points.

The author's web site indicates that this module is not compatible with Joomla 1.5.x. It certainly isn't working on 1.5.9.
It loaded correctly and provides only text output.
On further analysis, the language file has image path errors that prevent the admin panel display of graphic samples for selection.
Selection of image output doesn't work.
This could be a nice module if the author tested it and fixed the errors prior to publishing.

Owner's reply
The reviewer should try the native 1.5 version, which has been available on joomlacode.org since early February. I just downloaded and retested it on my own site and it worked fine.
Install it easy and no matter what I type in 0, -10, 10 the counter doesn't increase from 0 or from 10. Had to un-install it. It look cool though:-) but sorry.
Nice module, but still needs an improvement, sometimes it breaks the template without undetected reason, but overall its a nice module. keep up a good work Bro...
