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.

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.

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?

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 ?>

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

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.

“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. :)

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

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.

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

rayben · 2006-01-08 18:08:09

At first I was using Shortstat and know I use wet_slimpattern/slimstat.
