  Hi, I'd develop a visit count block using the pn_counter table, but I has the trouble than every time an user click's a module this value (total hits) change, although the time of session has not finished, I'd solved this trouble adding this code at modules\Stats\ pnuserapi.php -> stats_userapi_collect:
  
  

  Code

  // [Modification by Karman] Fix count bug making a new session var...
      if (!SecurityUtil::checkPermission('::','::',ACCESS_ADMIN)&&
  !isset($_SESSION['_PNSession']['StatCounter'])&&
  !isset($GLOBALS['_PNSession']['StatCounter'])){
          $_SESSION['_PNSession']['StatCounter'] = true;
          $GLOBALS['_PNSession']['StatCounter']= true;
      }else{
          return;
      }

  
  
  But I don't know if it is the best solution? any suggest?

  Sessions, are not the solution. Security variables change sessions times limits. A session can remain open indefinitely, and a guest may not use a session at all.

  Well, what exactly do you want to calculate?
  
  What should trigger a +1 ? What do you want your formula to be?
  
  Why not use a script that counts unique IPs per X hours...

  There is not a calc. It's only add each visit to a variable (SQL)...

  The question was, way pnStats increments the number of visits when a user visit a module (downloads for example), the number of visits should be incremented only the first time the user load the pag.

  Is not for hour what I want, but the total number of visits... you can see how it's in the left side of my web... below is the address...

  Yes, but what makes a visit a unique visit?
  
  You really have to decide what make a visit unique. It is rather arbitrary, if you ask me. The only thing hit counter count is the number of times it adds 1. :)
  
  Same with the stats, if the stats add 1 every time a module is refreshed, that gives an accurate account of how often the module is refreshed... nothing more. Throw in some Ajax, and you got some more worthless data. :P
  
  If you want better data, use webalyiser or sew google into your site...
