[DBTech] vBAnalytics v1 (vB4) · **Released**: 03-14-2012

vBAnalytics: What is it?
vBAnalytics provides detailed and customized analytics from traffic including bounce rates, landings, pageviews, visits and many more customized just for vBulletin! Think Google Analytics but made for vBulletin!

Uses
If you ever wanted Google Analytics to provide more attention to your forum specific aspects than this is a must have for you. It provides statistics specifically requested from experienced board owners and displays them in an friendly and knowledgeable manner. Allowing even the most novice of board owners to know exactly what his users like and dislike in his community.

Use vBAnalytics to see how your individual forums are doing overtime, great to see if recent changes to boost activity there actually worked. You could do the same thing to individual pages in your forum, to see if recent changes to boost activity on those pages actually worked. With the pro version you can monitor search trends, to see what your users are searching on your forum and what links they click from the search allowing you to tailor to the needs of your community.

The benefits of this mod can raise your traffic and your overall member experience by showing exactly what the most and least popular aspects of your forum is. Tracking landings, bounces, visits and pageviews is a quintessential part of finding out where work needs to be done in order to improve your forum's activity and success.

I'm sorry, but I accidentally overwrote the previous hotfix that addressed this issue.

Please follow: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....07&postcount=8

Redownload and reupload those files. That should fix your issue.

If you still get that database error let me know and I will try to further troubleshoot this mysterious session conflict.

The zip file of the product is what will be needed to download and upload. I've just gone and double-checked that all the files creating these conflicts have been fixed accordingly. So please redownload the zip file and reupload:

I do have one question, I'm not seeing any data. I ran the scheduled task but no data is showing up. I ran the maintenance things too.
I installed this on a brand new site that has no real users other than admin and a test user but both accounts are adding things and visiting pages, but no data shows up.

Thoughts?

Hi,

Please do not run the scheduled tasks manually as it will provide inaccurate results. I realized this during the beta stages of the mod development which is why the scheduled task responsible for tracking the data was modified to ensure it would only once per day. Since you have ran it already, further manual running of it will not generate any more entries until the next day.

The task is designed to run the first second of every day so that it collects the data from yesterday and stores it into the database. This explains why you do not see any data- as, I'm assuming, you are updating the form to show today's data which will not be shown until the task runs 12:00 AM tomorrow board time. The data you have gotten from manually running the task will be shown as yesterday (however, depending on timezone settings you may need to actually update the form a day before that to see the data for that day; this will be addressed in v1.1.0)

Since this is a test board, there is no actual harm in running the results manually, but they will be stored as yesterday's date as the task was not designed nor intended to track in increments less than daily. If you want to see real-time stats you may see them in your ACP. These stats are purged when the scheduled task runs successfully (once per day).

As a side but relevant note, the v1.1.0 update will have a pro option allowing for hourly tracking which will mean faster, more accurate across multiple timezones, results.

had to uninstall to fix

This error continues to elude and frustrate me. Are you positive you redownloaded the package and reuploaded it?

It would really help if you could PM me FTP and ACP information so that I can troubleshoot this as I am simply unable to reproduce this error and the installation running on DBTech has never once encountered this error in the entire month+ it's been installed (and that site gets some serious traffic).

EDIT:

I have uploaded one final hotfix that will completely solve this issue. Please redownload and reupload the following files in the package:

dbtech/vbanalytics/hooks/global_complete.php
dbtech/vbanalytics/hooks/global_start.php

If you still have this error I will need FTP and Admin login credentials as I have exhausted the list of reasons why this may be happening and am still unable to reproduce this either on my localhost or on sites it is installed to that I have access to.

I apologize to the users who have had this annoying error plague them and I thank them for having patience. It is tough to solve a bug you are unable to reproduce but I am confident I have finally fixed the SOB.
