TFS Statistics

I just finished installing TFS Statistics on my web site. The configuration was a breeze and the instructions were top notch for the installation.

From their website:

TFS is a Web statistics package written in PHP.

Features: Web site statistics by day, month, year, OS, browser, bots/spiders, referrers,last visitors, last bots/spiders, page hits, visitors by country, average visitors/bots and % function on all counters. In the last bots/spiders and last vistors overview you can click a link so you can see what pages are requested by the visitor, spider, or bot. Referrers are listed by domain if you click on the domain you will see the pages where your site is listed. You can also exclude ip adresses, so they will not show up in your statistics.

I did run into a conflict between their code and WordPress. I was getting “is not a valid MySQL-Link resource” error messages from some of the WP queries, but the errors went away when I turned off the TFS includes. I ended up finding a fix for the problem and documented it on their forums.

So far it looks like a great package that gives me all of the information that I want about the visitors to my site.

  1. Is TFS counting your page views correctly?

    I’ve set it up and it seems nice, but every page is counted as index.php.

    I assume that this is somehow due to TFS thinking it’s smarter than the mod_rewrite rules.

    is it just me?

  2. That is one drawback that I’ve noticed. I plan to ask in their forums if there is a way for it to use the URL for tracking instead of the actual filename that is used.

  3. A new version of TFS was released today. The coding errors I found were fixed, but something else was introduced that created the same errors on my pages. As a work around, I had to place the include call for the script at the end of my pages instead of at the top. There are some nice new features in the new version. One that I’m liking is the search engine keyword tracking.
