If you want to use bblcone as a "Stand Alone" read on to get the knowledge how to install it.

There are only a few steps, so you should be done in a few minutes.
The installation procedure works for Joomla 1.0x an 1.5x.

• Download bbclone and ip2ext from the bbclone website
  Unzip the bbclone archive. You will see a bbclone folder and some sub-folders.
• Unzip the content of the ip2ext.zip to this bbclone folder
• Open the config.php from the bbclone/conf folder in your editor
  Change the $BBC_MAINSITE variable to your your Joomla site:
  $BBC_MAINSITE = "http://www.mysite.com"
• Upload the whole bbclone folder to a folder inside your Joomla installation.
• CHMOD all files except the .htaccess in the bbclon/var folder to 666
• Download the index.php from your Joomla root folder and backup it (just for the ase something will went wrong)
• Open the index.php in your editor and add the following code at the end of this file (after the last entry!"):
  
  ?>
• Make sure, that the define("_BBCLONE_DIR", "/var/www/html/bbclone/"); entry points to your bbclone folder. You will
  need to add the absolute path here.
• Re-Upload the index.php
• For testing, visit some pages of your website.
• Point your browser to http://www.mysite.com/bbclone and you will see the bbclone stats page.
  It should report the pages you have visited a few moments ago.

Maybe it is a good idea to secure your bbclone folder with a .htaccess file. Otherwise everybody who knows or guess the bbclone url, can see your site statistics.
