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.

Seems that all the permission does is hide the navbar link it doesn't actually prevent you from seeing the page. I've gone ahead and patched the download link. Just replace vbanalytics.php with this.

EDIT: Now I see why it's showing this, because it thinks I had 88811 visits on the 24th. Actual visits was 4,282

That's very odd. What version are you using?

Forgive me, it shows me you're using 1.0.4.Could you provide me with FTP access to troubleshoot this issue? This is the very first time I've come across anything like this happening (on any version).

Hi Jon

I have now installed the pro version since you posted this message. I will let it run a while to gather data and see how things go.

No. A 3.8.x version may or may not be released shortly. Depends on unknown factors. However, a 3.8 version is planned.

[ckelley]

Installed and working as promised so far. No apparent errors and I like how it puts the analytics right on the forum for aadministrators so we don't have to go into the admincp to see what is going on with the site. Nice Job! thanks!
