If you run an apache server and are allowed to use .htaccess you can even
monitor your *.html pages without ever editing or renaming them. (Credits go
to Dave Higgens, who first made this suggestion in our forums)

1. Add the following to your .htaccess:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
php_value auto_append_file "/the/path/that/leads/to/count.php"

The path needs to be a local absolute path like the example above. Create the
file "count.php" and add the following:

<?php
define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "/the/path/that/leads/to/bbclone/");
define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR."mark_page.php");
if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER);
?>

In our example "count.php" is situated in the www-root. If your files are
located elsewhere you need to modify the paths accordingly (see 1.3). An
absolute path is required to make this snippet work. If you don't know the
absolute path to your BBClone directory you can do the following:
Go to your bbclone directory, open index.php in your favorite editor and add
the line:

echo "<?php\n"
."define("_BBCLONE_DIR", ""
.dirname(__FILE__)."/");\n"
."define("COUNTER", _BBCLONE_DIR.""
."mark_page.php");\n"
."if (is_readable(COUNTER)) include_once(COUNTER);\n"
."?>\n";

Point your browser to it, copy and paste the output and save it into a file as
"count.php" (to stick with our example). Don't forget to remove the line from
index.php afterwards else it will be displayed each time you call your stats.

Now the following will happen:
Each time someone calls one of the ".htm" or ".html" pages the code snippet with
the counter code will be automatically appended. BBClone will automatically
create a page title derived from the file's path which will be used in the page
stats then.
