hello,
I want to get a view of each user, how long he visite my website, the name of every page he visited and that sort of information. I have installed the component, the plugin plg_contentstats_1.6.1_2.5 and plg_contentstats_com_users_1.4.4_2.5 and actived them. But I can't figure out how to get this in a view. When I check the component, I see when a user has logged in, but not the pages that he visited. Can you please explain how I can get this working?

thank you,
Wouter

    You need to install more plugins. for example, if you want to see which articles he visited, you need to install the articles plugin (plg_contentstats_com_content) and so on. then you will see that info (however "how long" they stayed in a page is not tracked)

    thank you for you quick reply!
    I've installed the suggested plugin and activate it. But how can I show the statistics and is it possible to export them to a file? How long a user stayed on a page is not that important for me. But how many times the article is viewed is important. Is that possible?

    Hello,

    yes it's possible. let's see, on the backend (component) you will see all the activity, entry by entry.
    if you want to see for example how many times an article is viewed throughout the week (month, year, whatever), you can create a MODULE to show this information graphically: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/content-statistics/create-graphic-statistics

    also you can filter the results on backend by article, date, etc, to know how many times it was accessed, too.

    hello,

    I have tried to get this working by installing some of the modules and plugins:
    - mod_content_statistics_individual_1.5.1_pro_2.5_admin.zip
    - mod_content_statistics_compare_1.5.1_pro_2.5_admin.zip
    - mod_content_statistics_individual_1.5.1_pro_2.5.zip
    - mod_content_statistics_1.3.2_pro_2.5.zip
    - plg_contentstats_1.6.1_2.5.zip, com_contentstats_1.6.1_2.5.zip
    Now it is possible to see some charts, but not yet what I want to show.

    I want to show this information and I want to be able to export this information to a Excel sheet:
    - the username
    - the articlename that the user has viewed
    - date of viewing of the article
    In the component I can see most of what I want, like 1 row each time a user views a article. Also the date of it. But I want this information to been shown on the frontend with a module and I want to be able to export this information.

    can you inform me if that is possble?

    Hello

    to see this, it's in the COMPONENT. this information, presented in that way (article + username + date) is ONLY available on the component, not in the frontend. (and no export)
    to show this in the frontend would require new modules and code..

    thank you for your quick reply.

    that is really disappointing. This information is very important for my client and the reason to buy this product. Is it possible that you provide me SQL code that create my needed information? I just opened some of the component files to see if there is any SQL code in there to create it myself. But I can't find any query's.

    It's a bit more complicated than that... since the system works with this "plugin system" (each plugin provides it's data), the queries are many, and are divided into each plugin. Your client can't see this in the backend?
    this information is for the backend only because is considered "private" information, if you know what I mean..

    I can understand that is more complicated, I also do some PHP develepment. That is why I'm more surprised that you didn't made a export function....

    No, my client doesn't have acces to the backend, because he doesn't know what to there.... that is the reason to provide the statistics information in a report, like Excel, or provide it in a frontend position (after he logged in).
    Is there anything that you can do to help me with this? I can't explain to client that he payed this amount of money without the prober information.....

      well, if you're a coder I can tell you what I would do to bring the component to the frontend, but that is asuming you're a good Joomla programmer.. otherwise you will encounter problems and maybe get lost..
      what I would do is basically to bring the backend views/models/controllers to the frontend of the controller (which is currently EMPTY) to provide that information in the frontend (that is, via component, not module). otherwise the only stats he can see in the frontend are the GRAPHIC stats (evolution charts and so on). I'm asuming these are not enough either?

    no, I'm not that good Joomla programmer or coder. I whish I was ;)
    I just started building a application, so I know some basics.

    I think the component provides the most basic information that my client needs. So if you can help me to acomplish that, that would be very great. Is that possible?

      what I can do is what I told you before, indicate you to basically replicate the backend views/models/controllers in the frontend, the code is basically there. But I can't simply give you the code, because I don't have it. if you need the code, this means I have to build it myself, so it's a job I have to do through our Custom Coding Service.

    okay, let's try to replicate it to the frontend, because I really need something to work with. And if it goes by Custom Coding Service, I (and my client) have to pay and that is not an option.

    Is it possible that we only show this view to a certain user?
