I mean a simple counter of visits, displayed as "xxx guests visited our site", which is usually an easy cgi script available at every server.

Since I've started with XOOPS (and it's just a few days), I notice that the XOOPS connected sites (like this one, or dev.xoops, etc) don't have such a thing. I couldn't also find this option in my XOOPS administration.

Searching for "counter" here gives a list of stats modules as a result, but all they are about sophisticated statistics for a webmaster, not a simple counter to put in the site.

Can I just use one of the scripts provided by my hosting server? But how could I add it to the site?

I made a custom block (html) and placed the code for the counter in it (from my host)



You can see it here


For the istats counter I have on another site I included this in the theme.html

Thanks a lot, svaha!
It's so easy that I've managed to make it
Even though I'm still not too familiar with blocks.

By the way, I'm really impressed by your site's appearance. Gosh, it had to take lots lots of your time. What do you use for making it multilanguage? (if I can ask) For someday, in far future probably, I'd like to implement a multilanguage option to my site, and I don't know what to choose.
