Description
Quick Count is my second WordPress plugin (visit Quick Chat page if you want to try my WordPress chat plugin). My goal with Quick Count plugin was to keep user interface similar to existing popular "who is online" plugins but to make it technically much simpler and faster because current code doesn't use any PHP/Javascript framework or library except jQuery.

Your translations
One of the ways to help spread Quick Count is by translating it into your language or updating existing translation by translating untranslated strings. To make it easier for you to translate Quick Count to your language I've configured Quick Count online translation interface using open source application named GlotPress. Using GlotPress hosted on TechyTalk.info you can translate Quick Count into your own language without the need for any additional tools. My plan is to download translation files before every Quick Count release and include them into official Quick Count package. This way your translation files will be available to you and to all Quick Count users right out the box.
To keep translation files free of spam, before you are able to translate you need to register for TechyTalk.info user account. Then you can log into Quick Count online translation interface using the following link:
Your donations
Quick Count is open source web application created by single person and released under GPLv2 license. This means that you can use or even modify Quick Count free of charge. Open source development and user support for my WordPress plugins takes at least few hours of my every day so if you find Quick Count useful you can donate to help it's development. Thanks in advance.

I LOVE this plugin, I have been searching for weeks! BUT, I have tried everything I know to get it to work. Nothing ever displays except the title and credit line. I have tried PHO code in a PHP plug in and directly in a page.
I CAN see everything perfectly in my admin dash, and sub panel for Quick count.
Problem is, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to put just the flags/count just above the LIVE TRUCKCAM image on my left sidebar.
sidenote, also tried just the prefab QC widget, nothing.
I have also tried short code (short and long version) in a page and sidebar. Nothing at all (except the title and credit line)
I have run out of ideas since I do not see any info in the FAQ or support page about this. One time, I did get a “IP data does not exist inside the database…..”
I installed Quick Count on our website’s right sidebar( inside the Secondary Widget Area – Twenty Ten theme of WP) but I can see just the diplay of italian visitors and italy flag and not forein visitors and flags as i would like. I installed Quick flag too.
Hi,
it is possible that your visitors IP address is not inside Quick Flag database but it would be strange if it happens for all non italian users. Can you run some of your visitors IP address that doesn’t have country flag trough here:
madm.dfki.de/demo/ip-countryside/
This is GUI for database Quick Count is using. If this GUI shows country for some IP and Quick Count isn’t could you please post this IP here so I could debug? Thanks
Hi Marko,
I clicked on your link and and I saw my IP adress and other informations. I post you the webside link adress: www.jekas.it
now you can see the display flag results.
Many thanks for your replay

Hello I’ve visited your site and my country flag appeared just fine, here’s screenshot:
i45.tinypic.com/14l3knp.png
This means that Quick Count is working fine. You are seeing only Italian flag because your site is written in Italian language, thus it attracts mostly people from Italy.
Regards
Hi Marko,
thanks for your replay. I saw your flag! If I have understood Quick Count plugin reads the language used on the website and not the IP address that is coming in from the visitors. Quick Count is a progressive visitors counter too?
Thanks again
This is how it works. There is one guy who made open source program (available here) that has the ability to create database linking IP addresses all around the world to country name where thos IP addresses are used. Quick Count uses this database trough my other plugin Quick Flag to detect visitors country from his IP address. Then it does all what other “who is online plugins” do like count users currently viewing your site but it also shows country names and flags for all users. For detailed view you can go to your admin Dashboard -> Quick Count sub page where you have nice world map.
The fact that your site is written in Italian means that not many Chinese or Russian people will read it because they most probably don’t read Italian. Because of that your site is visited mostly by people from Italy because they do read Italian and search Google or similar search engines for Italian words, that way are likely to end up on your page and you will probably see only Italian flags on Quick Count.
Fatal Error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/shalomtv/public_html/wp-content/plugins/quick-count/quick-count.php on line 506
Hello, thanks for reporting. This error happens on PHP < 5.3. I do not have any server with older PHP versions to test so I must be careful when coding because PHP 5.3 introduced significant OOP changes. Long story short, I’ve released 2.02 version fixing this issue. Any problems report here
Thanks, You’re great!
