This plugin provides logging and statistics on views and visitors of your wiki. The statistics are a mix of wiki centric stats (like number of edits) and typical web statistics (views, visitors). It should be most useful to people using [[:DokuWiki]] as their blog or homepage but provides useful stats for internal use as well.

:!: This plugin needs a MySQL database. You need at least MySQL 4.1, MySQL 5.0 or higher is recommended.

The following statistics are currently provided:

  * Dashboard
    * general statistics like Bounces, Returning Vistors, Average Session lengths
  * Popular Pages
    * the most viewed pages
  * Incoming Links
    * the top referrers
  * New Incoming Links
    * the top referrers which were not seen before the selected time frame
  * Outgoing Links
    * the most clicked outgoing links
  * Search Engines
    * the most used search engines to find your wiki
  * External Search Phrases
    * the top search phrases people used in search engines to find your wiki
  * External Search Words
    * the top search keywords people used in search engines to find your wiki
  * Internal Search Phrases
    * the top search phrases people used in your integrated wiki search
  * Internal Search Words
    * the top search keywords people used in your integrated wiki search
  * Browsers
    * the most used browsers to view your wiki
  * Operating Systems
    * the most used operating systems used by your visitors
  * Countries
    * where your visitors came from in the selected time frame
  * Screensize
    * the screen size your visitors have
  * Resolution
    * the screen resolution used by your visitors

For nearly all these stats, graphical diagrams are provided as well.

===== Download =====

Please use the download link provided above for downloading the plugin. Be sure to read about [[#upgrading]] first, if you are running an older version already.

==== Changes ====

{{rss>http://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki-plugin-statistics/commits/master.atom date}}

===== Installing =====

  - Install the plugin through the [[plugin:Plugin]] Manager or manually.
  - Create the MySQL database.  Without this you wont be **able** to do the next step.
  - Create the needed MySQL tables with the provided ''db.sql'' file 
  - Configure the database access through the [[plugin:config|Config Manager]]

To create the needed MySQL tables you can 

  - either use phpmyadmin's import function 
     * Select the database that is used by your DokuWiki and chose "Import" from the top-menu, then upload the file.
  - import manually using MySQL in your shell 

**Method 1**
<code>
# mysql -u db_user -p your_dokuwiki_database < /full/path/to/db.sql
</code>

**Method 2**
<code>
# mysql -u db_user -p your_dokuwiki_database
Enter password:
[...]
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> \. /full/path/to/db.sql
</code>

===== Upgrading =====

Upgrades will most probably require database upgrades. I recommend to do them //before// updating the plugin.

  - Have a look at the current [[https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki-plugin-statistics/blob/master/db.sql|db.sql]].
  - Search this file for lines starting with ''%%-- UPGRADE%%''
  - Find the first such line containing a date newer than your plugin version
  - Copy all following lines and apply them to your existing database

Please note that, depending on the amount of data in your database, these updates can take a really long time. I suggest to run these updates via the command line instead of using a web based tool like PHPMyAdmin.

===== Known limitations =====

  * Currently only users with JavaScript enabled are logged
    * this can be easily fixed by placing some %%<noscript>%% code in the template, I just need to investigate that
    * when fixed, stats about search bots could be added
  * the search word parsing is a bit flaky ("don't" is two words)
