The SearchLog extension adds a new special page called Special:SearchLog which allows you to select a period to generate a table of search phrases and their usage count.

Installation [edit]
First create a directory called SearchLog in your wiki's extensions directory. Then, copy the searchlog source code from OrganicDesign:Extension:SearchLog.php and save it as a file called SearchLog.php into the newly created directory.
Add an include statement into your LocalSettings.php file to include the downloaded SearchLog.php file as usual, for example:
include("$IP/extensions/SearchLog/SearchLog.php");
You need to create a subdirectory under;
$IP/extensions/SearchLog/
called logs (the same as your $wgSearchLogPath) and make a file as specified in $wgSearchLogFile. The permissions should be set to chmod 755 on that file.
Configuration settings [edit]
Here are some global variables which affect the operation of the extension. These should be set in your LocalSettings file after the include of the SearchLog.php script.
| Variable | Default value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| $wgSearchLogPath | $IP/extensions/SearchLog/logs | The directory into which the search logs will be placed |
| $wgSearchLogFile | $wgSearchLogPath/search.log | The name of the file to log the information to |
| $wgSearchLogDateFormat | %b %Y | The format of the dates displayed in the dropdown list (not the file) |
| $wgSearchLogGroup | empty | If set, restricts viewing of the special page to the specified group |
Sortable Tables [edit]
I'll add some info about using sortable tables soon, until then see the talk page.
Bugs [edit]
- Fatal error: Call to a member function getID() on a non-object in SkinTemplate.php on 1.6.x and 1.7.x (the object in question is $wgArticle, tried setting it to an article if not already set, but that didn't work)
