Statistics Modifications - [DBTech] vBAnalytics v1 (vB4)

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.

Also with the user tracking, if I want to track multiple users do I use a comma or semicolon between the userIDs in the adminCP settings? i set it to track myself and someone else a few days ago and it hasn't tracked any visits yet. Thanks.

Use a comma, like the setting says. I've had no other reports about missing date in whole or part.

However, a user using the [LITE] version of this mod reported that the install file did not install a necessary change in this version. This may be what's happening to you. I can either fix this for you or provide you with the query to do so yourself.

Data takes 24 hours to populate. Unfortunately, we can not retroactively fetch data. Please wait 24 hours. If you still do not have results I will need FPT and ACP login because nobody else is reporting this mistake.

4.2.0 introduced changes to the navbar. As of now, this mod's navbar integration is incompatible with 4.2.0. We are upgrading all our products to be compatible with 4.2.0.
