###My Visit Counter

mod_visitors v1.0.0

Track how many people visit your Joomla 5/6 site with this lightweight,
fully customisable visitor counter module.

Visits are deduplicated — repeated page loads or reloads from the same IP
within a configurable time window (default 12 hours) are not counted,
giving you a realistic picture of actual visitor sessions.

FEATURES

• Live visitor count displayed on the front end
• Deduplication window — same IP within X hours counts only once
• Optional display of visitor IP address and location (country/city)
• Fully customisable appearance — counter colour, text colour, background colour, rounded corners, font size, and icon choice
• Threshold email alerts — get notified when your visitor count reaches milestones, with frequency control (on threshold, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Two alert email addresses — notify yourself and optionally a client
• Admin view — when logged in as Super User, IP and location are always visible on the front end so you can verify the module at a glance
• Location lookup via ip-api.com (optional feature, off by default)
• Compatible with Joomla 5 and 6, PHP 8

REQUIREMENTS

• Joomla 5.x or 6.x
• PHP 8.0+
• MySQL database
