That’s *nice* !! Thanks !
Can I be a complete idiot and ask how I execute the code ?
Put into php and call it once through the browser ?
Hey Podz, there are instructions included with the download, as well as an example stats page.
What exactly are you asking? How to execute the visit logging code, or the actual stats page?
1. First of all you need to execute the following code:
CREATE TABLE wp_stats (
date date DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00’ NOT NULL,
hits mediumint(8) unsigned DEFAULT ‘0’ NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (date)
);
From other hacks I’ve seen, I don’t know if this is mysql or a php snippet……
Apologies
you need to go into phpmyadmin to do that
Sorry, I thought that was documented well enough 🙁
I will go back and add that the aforementioned code is SQL.
Thanks Podz.
Very cool. Thanks.
I’ve been thinking about doing something similar along with tracking referrers and search strings.
Although can I make a suggestion? It might be helpful to rename it to “traffic” or “hit monitor”. See:
Combine that with all the various little plugins for bits and pieces of statistical information. I think you can see a world of confusion brewing! 😉
Hmmm.. good point, but I like wp-stats.php!
I will give this some thought.
BAM… broken with nightly update. They apparently changed database call names etc. Any idea when an update might be coming for this? see http://www.geekasaurus.com/clint/blog/stats/ for example of fugly errors. 😉
Assuming things don’t change in the next couple of days, you can fix it following this:

Cool, thanks Beel.
A note to anyone else doing this… the changes are made in the statistics.pho file in your plugins directory.
DO NOT change the $tablexxxx on the ‘global’ lines or you will get an error.

maybe I smoke too much carpet but I don’t see any file called statistics.pho in the download I got…
right now I’m getting:
Error Number: 1064Error Description: mysql_errorQuery: SELECT * FROM where date=’2004-06-11’strWhere:
Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in /pat/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-record-stats.php on line 35
when I try to ad <?php the_stats(); ?> to my WP index file…
any idea?

also the read me says you have to edit wp-stat-body.php to point to the images location but I can’t find any variable to edit at the beginning of the file, a line number would be cool, anyone? Thx!
I also get the same error as misterx. Anyone?
