I need the 'quick start' guide to just give me my stats I don't want to be a 'developer' I have ONE web page I have spent a lot of time building and I bought this (top end you offer) thinking it would install and easily show me my stats ????? Not true??

hello!

it installs very easy! all you need is to CREATE the modules you want to display the data you want.
tell me, what statistics you want to show?
also, on the backend you have the Content Statistics component to see all the entries.

Thank you so much germi

I have the core items instalelled and enabled.

I want to view hits including 'where that trafic originated' and hopefully by the pages they land on as well!

I hope that makes sense!

You will see by my screen shot that when I launch content stats I see nothing Thanks again

hello!

well, the "pages they land on".. you mean the pages people see? that is no problem because you can see full detailed info about this with the component.
about "where the traffic originated", there's no such info. I mean, there is the IP info, of course.
for now, that's all you have from "where it originated" the traffic. we are working on future versions to include geolocation tools to that (you know, country, etc), but that's not available yet.

is that what you mean?

yes, I can see.
basic things to check:
is the core plugin enabled?
are the extension plugins enabled?
what extension plugins are you using?

I mean, if you use the ARTICLES plugin for instance, be sure to "read" some articles so you can see how they were accessed!

I mean - such as they came from a link on google
or they came from a link on craigslist etc.

I did not mean where they physically were sorry bad job asking

ok I understand.
no, this info is not stored in Content Statistics...! it never has...!
where you got the impression it did?

if offers info from INSIDE your site. what your users access, what they do, what they visit.

attached is screen from my module manager

and this from my extensions -

my attachments did not stick let me try again

Ok it says file too large

PLEASE see the attached for me

I see all the plugins and modules installed... but not the main (core) plugin!
did you install this one?

ok which of my download files would it be - I was guessing there was a LOT of files and I knew I did not need them all

also - so you know I AM joomla 2.5 and on my download page I ONLY SEE:

it's right there in MY SUBSCRIPTIONS menu, on the right!
you can download everything there. the main plugin is listed under PLUGIN

please be sure to download all the files from here because these are the LATEST versions!

Ok is this better?

no. I still can't see the CORE PLUGIN installed.

is this one: http://www.joomlacontentstatistics.com/ambrasubs/file/view/14

please, as I said, install all the files from HERE: http://www.joomlacontentstatistics.com/account/subscriptions

not the downloads area.

Ok does this look better?

is that all i see then? and could you tell me what the number in parenthesis mean for example DevonFarm(524)


How do I see all the cool features that made me want this cool package or is it programming required? Thanks so much for your patience

hello!

no, that's not ALL you see (it's only part of it)
this is the BACKEND part.
now there are also the FRONTEND modules. you know.. cool colorful graphics to show statistical data!
what you need to do is to start creating modules, those that you want, to display specific information. for instance.. how many times this article has been readed this week, or whatever!
you set the parameters the way you like (timeframe, colors, type of information...) and you place the modules wherever you want!
do yo know what I mean? have you read our USERS GUIDE?

the number in parenthesis is the ID of the item (of the K2 article, in these cases)

I did look at it - but I could 'not' understand how to 'create the module' I saw in the module manager properties but I don't know how to get this so I can SEE the results I am sorry and THNAK you if you can help me do ONE I know I will be ok I am not STUPID just can't get the grasp on this without a little help!

Susan

oh I also need to know how to 'clear OLD stats out' so my database does not get TOOOO large

Thanks

Something like this would be perfect:

so i understand SOMEHOW - I have to 'create a module' DONT KNOW HOW

and then I place that module within my articles to see theM?????

why the uppercase? :lol: when I used the uppercase before I was just trying to point out what parts where important... not yelling or anything! :lol: maybe I should use bold instead... sorry if you took the wrong impresion!
I know you are not stupid! I'm just trying to help you!

creating a new module is very easy: you just need to
1) select what component you want to display data from
2) select the type of action you want to display (you know... article views, whatever)
3) set the filters (like... current article, or current category, or whatever)
4) place the module in the page you want to show it, in the position you want to show it.
5) set the timeframe. default is 1 week for the graphics module

does that help...?

about clearing old data: well the really only way is to go directly to the database to do it... but don't worry much about it because it will take time to store much data.. depending on how many users you have on your site...!

oh! the modules are just normal Joomla modules! they are created like any other else! on the module manager, in the backend...

WOOPS I was NOT yelling I am not good with knowing about the casing I DOOOOOO appreciate all your help AND

P A T I E N C E

ok - reviewing your notes let me see if I can figure this out

Ok

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/107968828070016222371/albums/5763217781412484081/5763235302485399522?authkey=cjfiyrxfiyw5kae

So do I go to module manager and select one of the modules that is there to modify it - I am unclear the starting of step 1) select what component you want to display data from

:lol: I think you are a bit new to Joomla!

the module you show is not a Content Statistics module! this is a K2 content module - not what we want.

what you need is to click on NEW (on the module list view) and then select the type of module to be Content Statistics - Evolution in time

does this sound familiar..?

tell me: what data you want to show?

I am going to try that now - I would like to show

the popular topics like this site does with the item (hits)
and bar below

Yes you are right NEW - I 'all by myself' built www.devonfarm.net using joomla/k2 I think I am doing pretty good I am a DBA by profession and not a web dba just Oracle/SqlServer/SqlBase I am learning though Thanks again for all this help .

Ok

Now I have the NEW module BUT I have NO clue do I tell it a position and what decisions must I make on the right side?? THank you

Yeah!!!

http://devonfarm.net

ok it is showing a graph what I want is what I showed you with page names and counts can you just help me MODIFY my module to show that instead?

Thank you

I am looking for exactly as you use with

article (number of hits in parens)
and the little black bar under neath

hello!

in this case, this module is Content Statistics (Ranking)
(not the other one, evolution in time)
