Traffic Counter & Forum Statistics (Real-Time, GeoIP, AMS) 1.3.3

What's new in version 1.3.3?

This update focuses on data accuracy and improved visualization for traffic analysis.

• Critical Chart Time-zone Fix: Resolved an issue where the daily chart was showing a one-day offset due to server time-zone differences. The data displayed in the "Last 30 Days" chart is now perfectly aligned with your database records.
• Improved Bot Tracking & Visualization: The Daily Chart now features a dual-line display: one solid line for unique human visitors and a new dashed line specifically for Bot/Crawler activity. This allows administrators to immediately distinguish between real user peaks and search engine crawling spikes.
• Widget & Report Synchronization: Fine-tuned the counting logic to ensure that "Live" data in the report matches the "Real-time" sidebar widget perfectly.

After uploading the files, please complete the upgrade process in your Admin Control Panel.

This is a significant maintenance and feature release that brings "Google Analytics" style precision to your dashboard. We have completely rewritten the counting logic to ensure perfect alignment across all widgets and introduced a new layer of data analysis.

New Feature: Human vs. Bot History​

The "Last 30 Days" graph has been upgraded!Previously, the graph showed a single line for total unique visitors. Now, it distinguishes between Real Humans (Purple/Green line) and Bots/Crawlers (Red dotted line).

• Historical Data: Starting from this update, the system will begin storing bot traffic separately in the database history.
• Visuals: You can now visually correlate traffic spikes with crawler activity directly in the chart.

Precision Fixes (Double Counting)​

We identified and fixed a logic issue ("race condition") that could cause today's visits to be counted twice—once as "live" data and once as "historical" data—resulting in inflated Monthly and Yearly stats.

• Math Protection: Added strict logic to ensure the "Today" counter is never inadvertently added to the historical archive before midnight.
• Perfect Alignment: The Today, Month, and Year counters now align perfectly (e.g., if you reset stats, they will all start identical and grow in unison).

Sparkline Fix​

Fixed a visual glitch in the sidebar widget where the mini-graph (sparkline) would occasionally show two bars for the current day.

Complete Changelog 1.3.2​

• [NEW] Bot Historical Tracking: Added database support (totale_bots column) to store historical bot traffic separately from humans.
• [NEW] Dual-Line Graph: The "Last 30 Days" chart now plots a secondary red dotted line for Bots, allowing for better traffic analysis.
• [FIX] Counter Logic: Fixed a calculation error where today's visits were sometimes summed twice in Monthly/Yearly totals.
• [FIX] Sparkline: Fixed an issue where the sidebar mini-graph displayed duplicate bars for the current day.
• [FIX] Database Schema: Improved installation/upgrade routine to ensure all necessary columns are present.

Note: Since the separate bot storage starts with this version, the "Bot" line in your graph will start at 0 for past days and begin populating from today onwards.

This update introduces a new permission system and significant improvements to data accuracy.

What's New in v1.3.0:

• Permission System:Added a new permission: "View full statistics report" (located under General Permissions).You can now control exactly which user groups (e.g., Admins, Moderators) can access the detailed full-page report.
  • Important: Please ensure you enable this permission for your Administrative group after upgrading.
• Real-Time Charts:The daily and monthly charts now integrate live data.Previously, the charts showed archived data (updating overnight), causing the current day to appear as "0". Now, the graphs calculate today's visits in real-time, providing a seamless trend line up to the very last second.
• Improvements & Fixes:
  • Widget Cleanup: Removed the "Guest" placeholder text when no registered users are online, making the widget interface cleaner.
  • Data Logic: Fixed a discrepancy where the "Monthly" count in the widget didn't perfectly align with the sum of daily visits.
  • Stability: Code refactoring for better stability (centralized logic in the main controller).

Upgrade Instructions:

1. Upload the contents of the upload folder to your root directory (or use the "Install from archive" feature).
2. Run the upgrade.
3. Go to Groups & Permissions -> Administrators and set the "View full statistics report" permission to YES.

Fixed: Missing branding image in the package.

This update fixes an issue in the previous release where the branding image folder (styles/statistiche/) was accidentally omitted from the ZIP file.

My apologies for the inconvenience; as we know, when coding, a tiny oversight in the build script is all it takes!

No changes have been made to the database or core logic. If you already have v1.2.0 installed, simply overwrite the files with this new version to ensure your file health check passes and the branding image displays correctly.

This is a major maintenance release that changes the add-on structure to be Native English.

Changelog v1.2.0:

• Native English: The add-on is now fully in English by default. Italian users can install the translation file separately.
• Language System Overhaul: Separated the "Real-Time Connections" widget title from the "Online Now" counter row to allow distinct translations.
• Fix: Fixed missing phrases for AMS (Article Management System) integration + some minor phrases.

Upgrade Instructions:
Simply install/upgrade from the archive.
Note: If you previously used a custom translation, you may need to check the new phrases.

This release fixes a packaging issue from the previous version and completes the transition to native English support.

Changelog v1.1.6:

• Fixed: Resolved a packaging error where the background image (stats.png) was missing from the installer. The image is now automatically included and installed correctly.
• Native English Support: The add-on is now 100% English native by default. All hardcoded Italian phrases have been replaced with the standard phrase system.
• Widget Renaming: The widget definition has been updated to "Advanced Statistics (Widget)" for better clarity in the Admin Control Panel.
• Code Cleanup: Cleaned up legacy code and optimized database installation routines.
• Branding Update: Updated developer info and support links.

• "Visitors Today" tracker with 24h reset.
• GeoIP Support: Displays flags for top countries (requires GeoIP enabled).
• AMS Support: Fully integrated with XenAddons Article Management System (optional).
• Lightweight: Optimized query performance to minimize server load.

Upgrade Instructions:
1. Download the new zip file.
2. Upload contents to your server or use the "Install/Upgrade from archive" feature in XenForo.

Major Update: This release introduces historical data comparison, fixes critical date-related errors, and improves the overall chart rendering logic.

New Features & Improvements:

• New Comparative Annual Chart: The annual graph now displays two datasets: Unique Visitors vs. Posted Messages. This allows you to analyze traffic trends against community activity (posts history) over the years.
• Fixed Chart Timelines: Daily and Monthly charts now always display a full fixed range (last 30 days / last 12 months), filling missing data with zeros for a more professional and consistent look.
• UI Polish: Improved CSS for tables and chart containers to better match the XenForo style.

Bug Fixes:

• Critical Fix: Resolved a TypeError: DateTime::setTimestamp() error that could cause a server error/blank page on some configurations due to incorrect date types.
• Data Accuracy: Fixed an issue where the "Annual Total" was double-counting visitors (summing up archived data + live log data incorrectly). The logic is now mathematically strict.
• Table Formatting: Fixed the Monthly Report table where Month and Year were not splitting correctly (showing / or 0).
