I would also like to know how to block certain IPs or hosts from being logged. Is this possible? Thanks.

I'm trying to view the RSS feed (index.php?format=rss) in my news aggregator, but it gives a parsing error "XML Parsing error: :2:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity".

I poked around trying to find a quick fix solution, in tweaking some of the code, but I couldn't get it to parse correctly. Any ideas?

since my post is slowly going away lol, using the .htaccess method, how can i exclude specific folders/files from being tracked?

Great script, I have it running at http://john.hoke.org/refer.php inside a MovableType site.

I hacked up the code to change the way it displays information, so if anyone is interested in what I did, let me know via the contact form on my site.

Where abouts do you find the </html> tag in order to append Refer's record-only-this-page tag?

<?php include '/refer/refer.php' ?>

Can any tell my how to exclude any url that's STARTS with www.flabber.nl/123

www.flabber.nl itself should be recorded !

$exclude[] = 'www.flabber.nl/123';
in the refer.php file doesn't seem to work :-(

Question #1: Does it record visitors from other pages of my site?

Question #2: If I want it to keep the old referrers forever, what do I do with the $expire variable? Do I set it to "0" or some infinitely big number?

Also, after making this change, do I just have to upload the config.php file, or do I have to re-create the table?

Thanks everyone.

Hello, I just installed refer 2.01, created a table on a MySQL database, all went well, added the lines in the .htaccess file, everything ok.

When I try to see the stats I receive this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare refer() (previously declared in /home/alt1040/public_html/refer/refer.php:97) in /home/alt1040/public_html/refer/refer.php on line 95

URL: http://ALT1040.com/refer/


Hope anyone can help me....

How can I block my IP address so that it doesn't log my visits? I frequently update my site and refresh it a couple of times. Thanks!

tank, it looks like you may have forgotten to remove the script from your individual page files that was used in the old referrer script......it's most likely on the bottom of your files after the </html>.

I used to use an old release and everything worked fine.

However, I recently upgraded to 2.1 and whilst it says it installed fine, I am not showing any referrers: http://www.tankgreen.com/refer/

When you look at - http://www.tankgreen.com/refer/refer.php - you can see I am getting an error message. I am not familiar with php to understand it.

Any help would ge grately appreciated.

Thanks!

The best remedy seems to be: just leaving it alone. Eventually everything will fall into place.

It's working.

I don't know how, but thanks, let's see how it goes.

strike mine, figured it out. :)

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of. Installation was easy I like it.
