Re: [SSmeredith] SiteStats Plugin Discussion
Hi,

Sorry for the delay - I'm going to attempt to answer this now.

In ExtraStats you can add the stats/graphs to any page - so if you have a profile page for a user you can add the graphs for their links to that page, or you could add tags which show the graphs/stats for their links within the detailed page for their links if they are logged in.

Can you describe exactly what you mean by 'links by User' - do you want a total hits for all their links? Wouldn't they find it more useful to see the breakdown? For example you could have a table with headings like this:

Link | Hits Today | Hits Yesterday | Hits This Month | Hits Last Month

Traffic Ranks (i.e. a ranking within your directory) is something I'm looking into as someone else has also requested it. I'm not sure how this will be implemented yet.

As far as I can see, a downloadable report in csv should be pretty straightforward. I'm adding some new tags to the next update so that you should be able to generate a file like this using loops for the hits for the current month (or any month you specify - and similarly monthly hits for the year):

ID,Type,1,2,3,....,29,30,31
221,All Hits,23,34,28,....,19,23,41
221,Unique Hits,21,31,25,....,12,23,36

I hope this is something like what you want? If not, can you explain more?

I'm not sure how the toolbar works but if it can read in the ID of a link (say on the link's detailed page) and use Links tags then I can't see why you wouldn't be able to add these stats to it.

The new plugin (extremely delayed I know) will not overlap with this one and will definitely be released as a separate plugin to avoid confusion - and because this one is already rather complicated as there are a huge number of tags you can use. ExtraStats is just collecting extra information about the clickthroughs for the links in your directory. The new one (if/when it is released) is collecting information about pageviews to your directory and the stats will be collected in a completely different way.

I hope that answers some of your questions.

Laura.
