User's guide

Who is recorded ?

Each time a visitor load your page, the sql table ez_logezboo is updated with visitor parameter( IP, browser, OS, ...).
Open index.php and follow links to get all relevant informations.
 

And the administrator ?

ezBOO WebStats has the ability to stop logging for specified browsers, for exemple the Webmaster. This is acheived by setting a cookie on the Webmaster's browser.

To load the cooky, open cook.php in your browser, and that's it !

Now on all pages, you'll see a label Administrator where you put the tag, to remind you that your visit is not recorded. All other users will not see this label, and there visits will be recorded.
 

Unknown OS nor Web browser

When an OS or Web browser is not resolved, it is replaced by a ???.
You can click on it to see original agent, and then you may update the config panel.
 

Referer

The referer list appears clearly now. You can click on it to open link in a new window.

There is 2 differents links in the referer table:
    - the button which will show the row log for this referer
    - the text link which link to the referer in a new window (usefull for search engines)
 

 

Update OS or Browser list

If you want to add a well none OS or Browser in the predifined list (in config panel):
Type the OS or browser as it apears in the agent, then type |, then the text that should apear in ezBOO WebStats.
Do not use space if you are using Netscape.

For exemple: MSIE 5.01|MSIE 5.0x
It is very important to respect syntax.
Also; due to the patern recognition coding,the order of the list is very important. The last one is the good one.
For exemple, if your list is:
     MSIE 5.5SP1|MSIE 5.5 SP1
     MSIE 5.5SP2|MSIE 5.5 SP2
     MSIE 5.5|MSIE 5.5
The
n the last one will always be used because it is less restrictive than previous ones.
 

Multilingual

Now ezBOO WebStats supports several languages.
However, if you want another language, you should translate:
msg_english.inc.php, this file contains all front panel text.
The file create_tables_english.txt might also be translated, it contains all countries names.

If you do so, it would be nice to send us your translation so we can include in the distribution.
 

Archive (new)

Now ezBOO WebStats supports manual archiving.
On the configuration panel, you can see the number of records per SQL table (ez_logezboo), the nuber of months saved within this table (not the history table ez_logezboo_h) and its size in bytes.

You have the possibility to manually archive: i.e.: erase records from table ez_logezboo for past months and fill history table ez_logezboo_h as summary.
When archiving, specify the number of months you want to keep in the log table (ez_logezboo). This value must be greater than 1 and smaller than the number of months saved (you can't archive 4 months if you have only 3 saved!).

After archiving, you should see the number of records in the table and the table size reduced. If size is identical, you may have to "optimize" the table from within phpMySQL.

Keywords

Keywords are accessible on the referer table. Put the mouse over the link of a search engine, and in the browser status bar you will see the full url and therefore the keywords.

A future version will enable a keyword sort in a table.
