How does it work? #7

Closed xcme closed 4 years ago

xcme commented 4 years ago

Hi! I installed this plugin and disabled the native ones but it didn't show any stats. Three week have passes since than. What should I check to fix it?

BlakesHeaven commented 4 years ago

Hi, Try some of the following:

Check for txt files in /bl-content/workspaces/simple-stats-plus/, these contain a line for each count to be displayed on the Admin Dashboard chart.
The attributes of the above on mine is 755
Check the settings are not set to delete files too early; below are mine, but the default ones should be ok for a start. Can you post back a screenshot of your settings and your dashboard - mine is below:

xcme commented 4 years ago

Thank you for answer. My dashboard is below: There is no graph below like you just showed.

Yes, I have files here /bl-content/workspaces/simple-stats-plus/. They have 644 permissions and contain lines with hash and date. I changed the permissions to 755 but it didn't help.

I use the 3.10.0 version on Bludit.

I can add there is no more HTML code after this section: It seems something went wrong and page wasn't constructed properly. In case I turn native plugins back it has following lines with stats and "</body </html" at the end.

Thanks, and sorry for slow reply. May I ask what active plugins you have? I'm thinking that maybe I have something activated that you don't that is finishing the closing tags off, thus making it work for me. I did have an issue at one point where the Search plugin was causing mine to fail.

All my plugins are here:

I noticed when I disable 'Simple Stats Plus' the dashboard page seems correctly and I can see the 'Notification' section. But when I enable 'Simple Stats Plus' it seems something goes wrong ether in the plugin itself or during its inclusion to the site. I tried to enable logs in PHP but I have Centos 7, so I had to use non-typical installation of PHP (rh-php72-php-fpm), so PHP works but I have no idea why logs don't work.

Thanks very much. I'll look into it tonight. I think it is still collecting stats though.

Hello, I have given the code a review, comparing it back the original and I couldn't see anything obvious. I made it so I have exactly the same plugins activated as you have and my dashboard still displays OK. In the code, I use an international format function requiring the "PHP-Intl" module as referenced in issue #6 . You say you have a non-standard installation of PHP; can you see if installing the PHP-Intl module helps.

Below is the generated html:

Yes! When I installed it and restarted the engine, it started to work. I issued: yum install rh-php72-php-intl on Centos 7.

Thank you for help!

That's brilliant, I really pleased 😎👍 Thanks for sticking with it. BTW, I've been doing a little tinkering and am adding individual page counting. Got it doing the data capture; just need to work it into the Contents tab navigation or maybe something to display on an end of page hook.
