Geeklog Forums

Is it possible to use WebTrend's web analytics package with Geeklog? I understand there are the 'Site Stats' (stats.php), but those are somwehat limited. It doesn't tell you about a great many things, see here:

I need to offer my client more than just Site Stats. How can I do this? Concerned.

The site stats aren't really meant as a replacement for a "proper" log file analyzer.

There are so many out there - just pick one you like and/or can afford They should all be working fine with Geeklog.

For example, my hosting service is running Webalizer for me and in addition to that, I'm using Analog.

Well.. ok but HOW does it work with the Geeklog CMS? In a static site I have to add WebTrends tags to each of my pages. With Geeklog where do I add my WebTrends tags? I mean, if I add it in the 'header.php' (guess) file, thus it would be on every GL page then how is it able to calculate how many hits etc?? See what I mean. Or, are some results simply bogus while others - such as what country they come from - are fine??

Anyone?

Oops, sorry, I'm not familiar with WebTrends. I was under the impression that it was yet another application to analyse the webserver's logfiles.

In any case, you should always take the results from any of those programs with a huge grain of salt.

Take the country, for example: My ISP's IP addresses resolve to a .net domain. Some analysers use that to make a guess about the country the visitor is coming from. But which country represents .net? Or .com, for that matter?

Or take the IP in general: Some ISPs use proxies, so the requests from one IP may come from one person or from a dozen persons - you can't tell.

That's why I suggested to pick whatever application you like (or should I say "distrust the least"?). In a way, all their results can be considered bogus ...
