Block rss link in shortstat

Thx ahead

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
I assume you currently integrate ShortStat by adding this line to index.php at the root level of your Textpattern installation:
bc.. @include_once($_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”].”/shorttat/inc.stats.php”);
You will have to inhibit the logging of all requests which are RSS-related. This may be either /rss, /atom in clean URL mode, or ?rss=1 and ?atom=1 in messy URL mode. Just choose which one you would want to block.
Modify this line to contain a conditional statement which performs logging based on the request URI or string:
if ( !in_array ($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], array('/rss', '/atom')) &&
!in_array ($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array('rss=1', 'atom=1')) ) {
@include_once( $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/shortstat/inc.stats.php" );
}array('/rss', '/atom') and array('rss=1', 'atom=1')) contain the URLs and query strings, respectively, which will not be logged. You can easily extend these arrays by adding any other unwanted URL.
Alternatively, you could use wet_slimpattern and modify this plugin according to the instructions above. I’d recommend upgrading to SlimStat because of database performance reasons anyway.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
On a related note, can’t i paste @include_once($_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”].”/shorttat/inc.stats.php”); into the Presentation > Pages (default) ? Can shortstat read all the inner pages of my journal? Thanks in advance.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Wet, when you say paste this
if ( !in_array ($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], array(‘/rss’, ‘/atom’)) &&
!in_array ($_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘rss=1’, ‘atom=1’)) ) {
@include_once( $_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”].”/shortstat/inc.stats.php” );
}
into index.php, is it the one located in /textpattern root or in my root folder before it?

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
It is meant to be pasted into index.php at the root level or your site just below the line which reads textpattern(); and above the trailing ?>

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Thanks Wet, btw, kinda OT, but do u know how to block our own ip so that shortstat doesnt count my own visits?

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
No, no idea besides this one: Get SlimStat where this is a built-in feature.
ShortStat is abandoned by Shaun Inman and replaced with Mint while SlimStat is actively developed. Instructions for the migration procedure are here.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
“SlimStat is not currently able to show search terms or visits from your existing data. I am writing converter scripts, which will be made available soon.”
I’ll use slim when that converter script is ready. Anyways, thanks again wet, you’ve been helpful. :)

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Thanks a lot for your quick & detailed answer! I decided to use slimstat and I just love it!
Sorry for my delayed answer.
But I have one further question: The conditional statement you showed above, should it replace the whole content of the wet_slimpattern plugin (besides the mint related stuff) ?
I did it this way and it works fine, but no I left out the txpinterface == ‘public’ stuff, because otherwise I get an error message when I visit my website, I hope it is not a problem…
Thanks again for your support

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Okay, maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough, what I meant was: How exactly would the code look like if I replaced the original php-code from the wet_slimpattern plugin ? I’m sorry, but I’m such a php-noob…
Thanks in advance.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
I do not get it: Are you using wet_slimpattern, or are you integrating shortstat by adding some php code into /index.php?

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
At first I was using Shortstat and know I use wet_slimpattern/slimstat.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Ok, then probably the plugin should contain exactly this code (though I am not sure why you should get an error message by leaving the txpinterface condition in place):
<pre>
if ( !in_array ($_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”], array(‘/rss’, ‘/atom’)) &&
!in_array ($_SERVER[“QUERY_STRING”], array(‘rss=1’, ‘atom=1’)) ) {
@include_once( $_SERVER[“DOCUMENT_ROOT”].”/slimstat/inc.stats.php” );
}
</pre>
This assumes that slimstat is installed into its default directory, /slimstat.

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
Now it works fine, but the code must be ‘/rss/’ and /atom/’ to work properly ;-)
Nevertheless Thanks for your patience & support!

Re: Block rss link in shortstat
You will notice that different aggregators use permutations of these URLs with or without trainling slashes, eg Rojo uses /rss while Bloglines uses /rss/ ignoring the way your feed link is spelled in reality. But, as I’ve mentioned before, you can extend both arrays to include any ressource you wanted to suppress.
