This plugin provides logging and statistics on views and visitors of your wiki. The statistics are not very wiki centric but are more close to what you'd expect from a typical web statistics package. It should be most useful to people using DokuWiki as their blog or homepage.

This plugin needs a MySQL database. You need at least MySQL 4.1, MySQL 5.0 or higher is recommended.

The following statistics are currently provided:

• Popular Pages
  • the most viewed pages in the selected time frame
• Incoming Links
  • the top referrers in the selected time frame
• New Incoming Links
  • the top referrers which were not seen before the selected time frame
• Outgoing Links
  • the most clicked outgoing links in the selected time frame
• Search Phrases
  • the top search phrases people used in search engines to find your wiki in the selected time frame
• Search Words
  • the top search keywords people used in search engines to find your wiki in the selected time frame

1. Install the plugin through the Plugin Manager or manually.
2. Create the MySQL database. Without this you wont be able to do the next step.
3. Create the needed MySQL tables with the provided db.sql file
4. Configure the database access through the Config Manager

To create the needed MySQL tables you can

• either use phpmyadmin's import function
  • Select the database that is used by your DokuWiki and chose “Import” from the top-menu, then upload the file.
• import manually using MySQL in your shell

Method 1

# mysql -u db_user -p your_dokuwiki_database < /full/path/to/db.sql

Method 2

# mysql -u db_user -p your_dokuwiki_database
Enter password:
[...]
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> \. /full/path/to/db.sql

Upgrades may require database upgrades. Check the provided db.sql file. Updates statements are marked with their dates. Execute them on your database to upgrade it.

• Country resolution is provided by hostip.info
• OS, Browser and Search Engine lookup tables come from awstats
• Graphs are created by Zack Bloom's Advanced Graphing Class (modified for PHP4)

• Currently only users with JavaScript enabled are logged
  • this can be easily fixed by placing some <noscript> code in the template, I just need to investigate that
  • when fixed, stats about search bots could be added
• some more wiki specific data would be nice (edits, minor edits, internal searches)
• the search word parsing is a bit flaky (“don't” is two words)

Adding multi-language support is quite simple. You can see details, download modified admin.php and some translation files here : http://nliautaud.fr/wiki/articles/dokuwiki_statistics_lang

Whats the definition of “visits (sessions)” and “unique visitors” at the overview page? — lupo49 2010/07/19 15:23

In general, a visitor (“unique visitors”, defined by IP) can visit several times the wiki (“visits (sessions)”, defined by activity time), and view several pages during every visit (“view pages”, defined by displayed pages). — Nicolas Liautaud

I've got MySql running and the db configured through db.sql. However, no entries are made in the db. My guess it's some sort of issue with access to the db. Is there a log file anywhere, in which I could figure out if and how the plugin tries to access the db?

Is it somehow possible to view statistics without being an admin? I want it in a restricted namespace instead so I don't have to give everyone who needs to view the stats admin rights? /Emil
