Since the last days, the error "unknownPlat" occured when updating a player. This problem is fixed.
Under some circumstances, special signs (like cyrillic) were displayed errorneous in the leaderboard. This should be fixed now.... read more

Hi comrades!

Today there is a new version of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4! Probably the last before Second Assault comes to us :)

COMPARE FEATURE:
Now you can compare the player of your leaderboard in their skills of weapon categories and vehicle categories! So far, you only could compare a specific weapon or vehicle.

TRANSLATIONS:
Kamil, Adrien and GreatApo made actualizations of the polish, french and greek translations. Thank you for this! If you see your language isn't completely translated, or missing, please don't be afraid to contact me :)... read more

Up to version 0.4 ezStats used the PHP extension "mysql" to connect to your database. With PHP 5.5 "mysql" is not supported anymore, so ezStats used since version 0.5 the extension "mysqli", which was added in PHP 5.0.
Apparently there are many servers out there, where the extension "mysqli" is not active, even though PHP 5.2 or higher is running. To make sure ezStats is running on these servers again, it looks now whether "mysqli" is loaded and then uses this extension. If this is not the case, "mysql" is used.
If you have no problems in version 0.70 of ezStats, you do not need to install this update.

Hi comrades!

Today there is a new version of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4! Now with a look into the past!

NEW FEATURE: HISTORY
In the detail popup, you have the new history tab. There, you'll see various graphs, how your stats has progressed by time.
Please note, that the history tab is only displayed if there are enough data to generate the graphs. Fourteen days after you have added a player to the leaderboard, he should have enough data.... read more

Hi comrades!

I wish you a happy new year 2014! And this year starts with a new version of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4!

NEW FEATURE: ASSIGNMENTS
In the detail popup, you have the new assignments tab. There, you'll see all assignments in BF4, if you have accomplished it, and what it takes to got it. Also, you can hide all accomplished assignments to get a better overview, what the next missions are.

NEW FEATURE: GLOBAL RANKINGS
In the detail popup, you see now your global position for every weapon, every vehicle and many other stats values. Take a look how good you are, compared to all other players listed at BF4Stats... read more

Hi comrades!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas! As a late gift, here is a new version of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4! In this version, ezStats gets the compare menu!

NEW FEATURE: COMPARE MENU
To compare your own stats with those of your mates is the key functionality of a leaderboard. Now you can compare your stats for every weapon and vehicle in the game!
Also, in any discussion about "who is the better player", it is neccessary to know the stats independent to the time spend in the game. Therefor, the combat stats could be useful to compare.
Are you a "PTFO" player? Then the teamplay stats are useful for you. In this comparisation, there are only values which represents the objective based part of the game.
And, at last, you can look at the favourite game mode, vehicle (category) and weapon (category) of each player.... read more

Hi comrades!

Today is sunday, which means there is a new version of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4! In this version, ezStats can create signatures for your players in the leaderboard!

NEW FEATURE: SIGNATURES
To activate the signatures feature, you have to go to Adminpanel->Signatures. Then, don't forget to set up a CronJob which updates the signatures multiple times per day. In the adminpanel, you can change the design of the signatures slightly. I recommend to modify the signature pattern, f.e. with you clan logo. So your players have unique signatures of your clan!
If you open the detail page of a player, you'll find there the new signatures tab too. There are the four signatures of the player with links to embedd the image to a forum.... read more

Hi comrades!

I proudly present the new version 0.32 of ezStats3 for Battlefield 4! This version completes the Detail Popup. Now I've implemented all stats which are provided by the API. As soon as the API has more informations (f.e. the Assignments) there will be a update :) Also supports ezStats the Dragon Rising DLC.

MORE FEATURES: DETAIL POPUP
In the Overview Tab, you'll see int the right bottom corner the date, on which the API has loaded the data from Battlelog.
In the Weapons Tab, there are now the Top-Weapons in four categories! Also, if you click onto a weapons name in the list, a overview with the weapon properties will appear. For example, you can filter for Sniper Rifles, then expand all weapon properties and look for which Rifle seems to be the best!
The Gadget Tab is new. I've decided only to show those gadget, which have stats values. The ones without stats are not interesting in my opinion. It seems Battlelog merges some values, for example ammo-bag and -box, medibag and-box and T-UGS and Motionmines.
The Awards Tab is also new. It brings you informations about all medals and ribbons you've earned.... read more

Hi comrades!

The new version today brings no new features, but three bugfixes. These are the changes for the new version 0.31:

The Accuracy in the Weapons Tab was incorrect. I've calculated Kills/Shots instead of Hits/Shots. This is fixed now.

Since a couple of days, there a new ranks (101 - 110). I assume they come officialy with the next DLCs, but some players already reached those new ranks. ezStats supports those ranks now.... read more

On the right side you see a table with all vehicles in the game, fully sortable and a lots of information. You can filter this table by the vehicle categories; this filter list is sorted by the playtime too.
In the Weapons-tab, you'll see a table with all weapons in the game, also fully sortable and with a lots of information. You can filter this table by the weapon categories; this filter list is sorted by kills with this category. The weapons-tab will get more features in upcoming versions.... read more

In ezStats3 you are able to add a image of your Clan f.e. into the header of the leaderboard. And, so I think, this is quite simple.

Here is a manual, in the new Wiki of ezStats3: [Header Image]

Hi comrades!

Today I want to show you a sneak peek of the leaderboard overview of ezStats for Battlefield 4. As long as the API of bf4stats.com isn't released, I do my testings with data from BF3.

Hi comrades!

About one-third of all ezStats2 installations are using the feature "CMS Plugin", with which you can embedd the leaderboard into your homepage. This is great, because "CMS Plugin" is a unique feature compared to other leaderboard tools.

So, I have a great focus in it in ezStats3 too. In ezStats3, you can use the plugin and the standalone-leaderboard simultaneously! The best of both worlds!... read more

Hi comrades!

The work on ezStats3 is ongoing. This is the Player Management in the Adminpanel. Its got a new design is more clearly than in ezStats2. And there is a new feature: you can sync your Leaderboard with your Battlelog Platoons just by clicking the button.

The summer is over, Battefield 4 is coming, and I am sitting again on my PC working on ezStats
I have started with the preparations for BF4, and I will raise the version from ezStats2 to ezStats3.

The target of the revision is a higher efficiency. This means a faster Javascript code for loading times, slim DOM plugin to be more compatible with Freehost services and the neccassary time to convert ezStats for another game will be reduced.... read more
