WSStats extension counts pageviews by user

Installation[edit]

Download and place the file(s) in a directory called WSStats in your extensions/ folder.

Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
```
require_once "$IP/extensions/WSStats/WSStats.php";
```
Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

By default Anonymous users and sysops are skipped from stats recording. To change this add following to LocalSettings.php..

Start with :

$wgWSStats=array();

Allow statistics for anonymous users..

//Record anonymous users
$wgWSStats['skip_anonymous']=false;

Skip users in the following groups..

//Skip if user is in following groups
$wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'][]='sysop';
$wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'][]='admin';

Count all hits..

$wgWSStats = array();
$wgWSStats['count_all_usergroups'] = true;

NOTE: If you have set $wgWSStats['count_all']=true; then $wgWSStats['skip_user_groups'] is ignored.

Skip page with certain text in their referer url. Default action=edit and veaction=edit are ignored. This configuration option is case sensitive.

$wgWSStats['ignore_in_url'][] = 'Template:Test';
$wgWSStats['ignore_in_url'][] = 'action=edit';

To retrieve statistics you can use the following parser function :

Ask number of hits for page id : 9868

{{#wsstats:id=9868}}

Ask number of hits for page id : 714 since start date 2018-09-01

{{#wsstats:id=714
|start date=2018-09-01}}

Ask number of hits for page id : 714 since start date 2018-02-01 and end date 2018-09-08

{{#wsstats:id=714
|start date=2018-02-01|end date=2018-09-08}}

If no statistics the result will be 0
