My OpenSource PHP analytics script CrazyStat has now been translated into French!

Thanks a lot to Yannou90 who translated CrazyStat into French and posted the language file in the forum.

You can currently download the translation file from SVN (click “Download this file”). Just drop the file in “stat/src/lang”. I hope I will finally find the time for the next release where the French file will be included of course.

This makes CrazyStat now available in English, German, French, Russian, Danish, Dutch and Portuguese.  A Croatian translation has been mentioned in the forum, but not made available so far.

Thanks everybody for translating CrazyStat!

Update: Some corrections to the language file have been done. The link above now points to the latest version.

Recommendation

Happy 7th birthday, CrazyStat! And merry christmas!

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP,phpLiteAdmin — Tags: , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 17:02

Sorry CrazyStat, this time I am two days late. On Saturday, it was CrazyStat’s 7th birthday.

As every year, I want to give a look back at what happened this year, and a look forward on my plans on the future.

Most importantly, the development of CrazyStat got more open, as I had planned. I opened a Sourceforge project for CrazyStat, a forum for discussion and support, and made CrazyStat’s svn publicly available on Sourceforge. So a bugtracker and a FAQ script is still to be opened. I guess I’ll do so this year.

Another great thing that happened: CrazyStat got translated into two more languages: Russian  and Portuguese. Together with English, German, Dutch and Danish, CrazyStat is now available in 6 languages. Thanks a lot to all translators for their work! I hope a lot of more languages will come in the future. If you speak another language, please contact me, it is really not so much work to do.

With the release of 1.71 RC1 (which basically is a final version, I won’t release another 1.71), CrazyStat also made some good improvements, although it was mainly a maintenance release.

Looking at my plans I had last year, not every goal has been achieved yet, but some of them have: The release of 1.71, making CrazyStat development more open and blogging more. For version 1.80, I did not find much time this year. But CrazyStat development will continue this year, so stay tuned.

Thanks to all users of CrazyStat. Especially thanks to everybody who donated! If you like CrazyStat, please consider a small donation.  Thanks a lot also to those users who gave feedback, requested features and reported bugs. If you do so, please use the forum.

I also joined the development team of phpLiteAdmin, a web-GUI for SQLite-Databases. I think phpLiteAdmin is a very promising project and I will continue my participation in it.

Merry Christmas everybody and a happy new year!

Portuguese language file for CrazyStat

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP — Tags: , , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 14:42

I just noticed that I have not announced yet that CrazyStat has been translated into Portoguese by Pedro Cruz. Thanks a lot!

You can already download the file from SVN (click “Download this file”). Of course the file will be included in the next release.

Just upload it into your stat/src/lang-folder and select the language when logging in. You can also change the default language.

If you find any mistakes in this or any other language file, just let me know.

I hope you enjoy CrazyStat!

CrazyStat counting lots of hits / visits

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP — Tags: , , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 16:52

Lately, I got a screenshot of CrazyStat counting quite a lot of visitors and hits. With this post, I’d like to share it with you. It’s quite impressive to see that CrazyStat is able to cope with that many hits easily.

With 4 000 hits per day on average within the last month and about 17 000 visitors on 26th of June, I consider this website quite successful!

So how is your site doing? I’d love to see other screenshots of CrazyStat counting lots of hits.

CrazyStat 1.71 RC1 released

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP — Tags: , , , , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 20:31

Today I released CrazyStat 1.71 RC1, the first Release Candidate of version 1.71. As there have already been two beta-versions tested by some testers, I consider this release candidate quite stable. I expect that no or only small changes will be made for the final version. Therefore, I’d like to encourage all CrazyStat users to update CrazyStat to 1.71 RC1. It is very simple, as described in the FAQ.

So what are the major changes?

  • New languages: Russian and Danish. Thanks a lot to the translators Vladimir and Liza! I hope CrazyStat will be translated into more languages soon. It is really not much work. Please contact me if you are interested.
  • PHP4 support dropped. I removed all workarounds for old PHP versions. Now at least PHP 5.1 is required. If your host is still running PHP4, you should really update or change to another hoster. PHP4 is not maintained for quite a while now. Also support for old GDlib-versions was dropped (1.x).
  • You can now link the entries of the file-module to the files. See the config setting you need to set.
  • IP anonymization reworked. This is now turned on by default. See FAQ for more information.
  • Average and total visiting time in hits-module
  • New logo by kartoffelpfluecker (thanks!)
  • Improved UTF8-support
  • New Browsers (Firefox-Versions), Bots, Operating Systems etc.
  • Lots of (smaller) fixes, i.e. producing PHP notice errors or invalid (X)HTML
  • Fix of a bug that caused weird ordering of the days-module sometimes
  • Fix of a bug that made Chrome transfer passwords unencrypted and corrupt the password file when changing passwords using Chrome

So this is more a maintenance release, not a major whole new version. See history for more details (with CrazyStat’s new public SVN hosted on Sourceforge, you can even track every individual change).

I hope you enjoy the new version. You can download it here.

Tell me what you think about it in the comments. In case you have problems, please ask in the support forum.

Enjoy using CrazyStat!

How to include CrazyStat in WordPress

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP,Wordpress — Tags: , , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 00:52

Of course it is possible to include CrazyStat in wordpress. I will describe here how it can be done. This approach assumes you have your own wordpress installation and can edit templates. It might not work this way if your blog is hosted on wordpress.com or similar. But I guess using CrazyStat in these cases would still be possible. Contact me if you need to know how and I will have a closer look.

So I assume you have a running wordpress installation and installed CrazyStat like described in the readme (at least steps 1-6 of quick install instructions). I assume you have a backup of your wordpress installation (at least the themes folder).

So the question is where to put the include code:

<?php @include_once("stat/src/include.php"); ?>

Log into the wordpress admin panel and click appearance/editor (German: Design/Editor). Make sure you selected the correct theme in the dropdown menu on the top right.

In case you do not want to use a counter

Click on “footer.php” on the right. You will see some HTML / PHP code in the editor. Put your cursor just before </body> (which should be quite at the end).  This is the best place to insert the CrazyStat code:

<?php @include_once("stat/src/include.php"); ?>

The path is seen from the wordpress root-directory. This code assumes you installed CrazyStat in the wordpress root-directory under “stat”. In case you installed it one level higher, you would need to use:

<?php @include_once("../stat/src/include.php"); ?>

Save your changes.

You might also need to adjust $config_rel_path. See config-documentation for details.

In case you want to use a counter

In this case, you’d need to find the place in your template where you want to place the counter. This should normally be somewhere after <body> in header.php, before </body> in footer.php or in sidebar.php. Unfortunately you need some HTML experience to find the correct place here. Use the same code as above.

In case you have problems

Please ask in the CrazyStat support forum in case you have problems or questions (no registration required at the moment!).

I hope I could clarify this for some people. Maybe I will do a wordpress plugin sometime. If you think this would be a great idea, tell me in the comments.

Alternative option: Use the WordPress plugin mzz-include-CrazyStat (Update 2017-02-17)

The problems with the solution described above are:

  • Whenever the theme is updated, the change of the footer.php might get lost.
  • If you switch to another theme, you need to add the CrazyStat code again.

To solve these problems, CrazyStat user Morgan Jassen developed a small helper plugin that just inserts the include code:

Find it here: https://github.com/mjassen/mzz-include-crazystat

I just found this today and have not tried it yet, but think it is the better option. Thanks, Morgan!

CrazyStat 1.70 detects Firefox 11 as 1.x (fix)

Filed under: CrazyStat,PHP — Tags: , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 00:25

Hey,

CrazyStat version 1.70 (and before) detects Firefox version 11 (and upwards) as “Firefox 1.x”.

Firefox versions were really coming up fast lately, so I did not finish version 1.71 to get all those new versions added before they come out.

To fix this issue in 1.70 (or before), simply add “Firefox/11=Firefox 11” to stat/usr/keywords/browser.txt or even better download the current browser.txt from SVN. Just replace the file and clean the cache.

Note that you can easily customize browser detection as described in FAQ.

Of course this won’t be an issue in upcoming 1.71.

Greetings,
Christopher

Public SVN for CrazyStat

Filed under: CrazyStat — Tags: , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 23:12

Finally, CrazyStat’s SVN has gone public!

CrazyStat uses Sourceforge for SVN hosting. You can browse it here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/crazystat/code/

To checkout the current development version of CrazyStat, use one of these:

  • SVN over HTTP protocol:
    svn checkout http://svn.code.sf.net/p/crazystat/code/trunk crazystat-code
  • SVN protocol:
    svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/crazystat/code/trunk crazystat-code

In the SVN repository, you can find the current CrazyStat 1.71 development version (in the trunk) along with 1.71 beta1 and beta2.

You can also read the commit logs to see what is going on with CrazyStat development.

In case you want to test the upcoming CrazyStat version 1.71, I’d recommend checking out the current development version from the trunk. Please let me know if you find any bugs or issues with the current development version (which will soon become RC1…).

This is part of my plans to make development of CrazyStat more open.

Greetings!

Forum (board) opened for discussion and support

Filed under: CrazyStat,Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — Christopher Kramer @ 12:42

Today I would like to introduce Christosoft Forum.

It is meant both for support, especially about CrazyStat, but also any general discussion about things of common interest.

I hope it will be used especially for CrazyStat support.

You do not even have to register at the moment, you can post as guest if you solve a captcha. Let’s hope I can keep this setting and it won’t be abused.

So from now on, please use the forum if you have any problems with CrazyStat. Other users might help you before I find the time or you might find the solution for your problem in an old thread.

Let me know what you think of it, either here or in the forum.

Also let me know if you have suggestions, e.g. for subforums or forum settings.

Edit: This is part of my plans to make development of CrazyStat more open. Expect other steps like Bugtracker or public SVN soon…
