I've downloaded the module archive from the link provided.
And think that your problem is based on the current date...

Check your

Code: Select all

system/logs/counter.txt
file.
It should contain a very huge amount entries.

Just do answer all questions at once:

Generally asking the author (me) - contacting me is easy: just as always in all of my extensions there is my address in the readme.

Second: speculating about what it does (or not) or should do brings nobody further.

The code is very simple and easy to read.
Basically the whole module is built on a 'flat file' base, which means you do not need any SQL.
Some reasons why I have made it that way (an enhanced version using SQL will be published if someone needs that really).
But I think that there are better extensions (like Piwik) to track your visitors.

Next: this 'flat file' cannot delete himself - because there is no need or function for it.
There must be another reason why the module starts with 1 (this is default if the .txt file does not exist and to show at least 1 visitor).

Next: the size of the file will never reach that big size, because of how the structure is built.

Why should it?
I just discovered (while going through the code before posting here) one small - not really important - bug belonging to the current date (saves the current day number - 1)

Quite funny, you do not know from where you have it, but you PM me?
So you know from where you have it - the author is ...

What a nonsens!
At my website this is written:
Required: OpenCart min. 1.4.2
So what does this mean??
Same version is stated in the readme.

Thanks! This should be always the first address to ask for (see above).

To come to an end, there is a solution to rebuild the figures (see the pm wandotshop).
