[XB] Year Recap [Paid] 1.1.3 Patch Level 2

[woody]

Suggestion:

The calculated years are listed as lowest to highest....IMO, it makes more sense for them to start at the current and work down...I have 20+ years of history, so that pushes the current 2025 year WAY down the line.

Disabled users are too.

22 million threadviews...not terrible I guess....View attachment 331612

This appears to default Permissions to "yes" by default for a few usergroups. IMO, it should allow the Admin to switch it on for select usergroups once stats are calculated.

I'm unsure ThreadViews is being calculated correctly. 99m threadviews in 2021 down to 22m in 2025 seems unlikely.

124m in 2020...

My traffic has decreased since 2020. 2020 was gangbusters for my site.

Suggestion:

Add points (or comma's for Americans) in large numbers (for example: 22.225.322)

Painbaker updated [XB] Year Recap with a new update entry:

1.1.2

• Added option to change statistic value display format (raw, number with separators, or short number like 1K)
• Changed the display order of previous years
• Fix: corrected monthly thread view chart data to show view counts instead of thread counts

Thread view statistics are limited to threads created in the selected year and rely on an incrementally updated view count column. XenForo does not maintain complete view logs, so rebuilding this data retroactively for other years will result in inaccurate values. The same applies to active users statistics.

Update went fine here...

Thanks for the update @Painbaker

Another request:

My forum has been online for a long time. That means a lot of years and the line of years is not responsive:


Can you make it responsive or create a break somehow?

I did notice that clicking "threads", "reactions", "posts" (or any of the other sub options) automatically reverts back to the oldest dates data, not the currently selected year....curious if you are experiencing that too.

 

[duderuud]

You are right. Same is happening here.

I'm unsure ThreadViews is being calculated correctly. 99m threadviews in 2021 down to 22m in 2025 seems unlikely.

124m in 2020...

Thread view statistics are limited to threads created in the selected year and rely on an incrementally updated view count column. XenForo does not maintain complete view logs, so rebuilding this data retroactively for other years will result in inaccurate values. The same applies to active users statistics.

Isn't this a normal statistical effect as possibly all threadviews since creation up until today are calculated? So a thread created back in 2022 will often have many more views than one created in 2025 simply because it had a couple more years to gain views?
If that's the case it makes a bit of a unfortunate picture as thread views for the current year will be always way lower than for the year before (at least if you have a lot of long-running threads or a lot of older threads that are still viewed a year or more later).

However, if I compare 2024 and 2025 in my forum thread views are dramtically lower as well - but the numbers of the monthly view aggregated for 2024 are equal to the total. So are these really monthly views for 2024 or the views of the threads in 2024 and 2025 added per month?








I am wondering b/c I did not see such a dramatic loss in visits, rather the opposite: My forum grew over the years.

So, depending from the calculation maybe the wording should be adjusted to something like "total views of the threads created in $year until today" and possibly the monthly numbers split into years if possible.

XenForo does not maintain complete view logs, so rebuilding this data retroactively for other years will result in inaccurate values. The same applies to active users statistics.

Indeed thread views seem to be way off. My forum was created in Sept 2022, so only three month in 2022 with very limited users. Statistic says:

• 200 new Users (correct)
• 16 active users (which is clearly incorrect by miles)
• 233 new threads (correct)
• 741.000 thread views (which seems way too high)

in comparison, for 2025 it shows:
• 1000 new registrations (correct)
• 1843 active users (possible)
• 1000 new threads
• 545.000 thread views (which seems way too low - in comparison to 2022 as well as to 2024 where the stat shows 1.100.000 thread views)

Would it possibly be easier to count thread views for all threads viewed in a given year (instead of views of threads created within this year)? This seems possibly a more relevant number, easier to understand for the audience and hopefully a more correct number as well.

Active users seems indeed also a bit off for the current year: According to the stats I would have had the most active users by far in December which does not at all correlate with the usual pattern of my forum (winter is calm in comparison to spring, autumn and summer) and also not to the posted messages stats and contradicts the stats available in the acp:







Does not fit - something seems to be off.

Same goes for the number of posts and for the number of post reactions (though the difference to the numbers in ACP is smaller):






The question remains which statistic is correct and which is wrong (or if they simply show different things for whatever reason).

Indeed thread views seem to be way off.

Have you ever rebuilt site statistics in the admin? It murders user activity logs and possibly thread view logs. (Even without this addon)



See where user activity is just a straight line in the middle and messed up? That's from way back when I rebuilt the statistics. Lost all meaningful user activity as it's not really logged by XF in a permanent way. Or at least I think that's why.
