… this is a conflict problem between TCW and AddButtons Plugin… they use the same funcion name for detecting robots… I wasn’t aware of this, so thanks for pointing that out…

In order to have both plugins functional the function name “is_bot()” should be changed in one of them…

To change it in TCW you can do this:
- Go to Admin -> Plugins
- Find Traffic Counter Widget and click Edit
- Search for “is_bot()” and replace it with “wtc_is_bot()”

This should work for you… I will make this change in the next release also…

@Josh – Let’s put it this way: “OH!!! Sh**ttt!”

This is a “Locale” bug :d. I’ve seen this before, on other blogs, but I didn’t pay attention…

Your blog Locale settings use ‘,’ (comma) to separate groups of 3 digits in numbers. For instance, the number 3000 is shown like: 3,000 and not like 3.000 as in my case. It’s a language matter.

The Ajax call returns the correct data in your case:

Pages,424,1,333,2,782

… but unfortunately I use ‘,’ (comma) to split the data … dumb …. I should use some other, uncommon, character like ‘^’, ‘~’ or whatever, in order to mark the per day / per week / per month data…

In your case instead of
424
1,333
2,2782

it shows
424
1
333
… because it splits the numbers by ‘,’ which is also your Locale Nubmer Format Separator :d…

I will fix this in the next release

@ER – actually it’s very difficult to say how many users are online at some moment in time. You can never know when a user has closed the browser, or switched to an other tab, or just leave the PC with the browser opened… Usually you can suppose some user is online if he or she did some action (like opening an other page) in the past few minutes.

Furthermore, for each user PHP opens a session on the Server which is not closed once the user leaves your site but expires in some preset amount of time (usually 10 minutes) after the user’s last action. In order to have a good estimation of how many users are online at some moment in time you can only count the unique IPs in the past 10 or 15 minutes, or whatever the session expiry time is set to…

I cannot guarantee TCW online users counting is correct, but I can guarantee there’s no software in this world that can give you an exact number!

@Victor – e ceva mai complicat, pentru ca logurile se sterg dupa o luna ca sa nu-ti umple baza de date cu informatii despre utilizatori… daca ai loga toate vizitele te-ai trezi peste o anumita perioada ca nu mai ai spatiu pe disc… Programatic s-ar putea face, dar cumva fara loguri ci cu un counter…

Hi Putera,

Your story is funny , but I cannot leave the logs on client’s server when the plugin is uninstalled. The logs occupy some space on your server depending on the traffic you make. So it’s important to free that space when you don’t need the plugin anymore. The logs cannot be restored…

Nevertheless, you can do some hacking in order to make the widget show more traffic than you actually do.

traffic-counter-widget/wp-traffic-counter-widget.php
find:

<ul>
<li><?php echo $options["wp_wtc_WidgetText_LastDay"].”: <span id=’wtc_lds’>”.get_traffic(86400,$wtcuni); ?></span></li>
<li><?php echo $options["wp_wtc_WidgetText_LastWeek"].”: <span id=’wtc_lws’>”.get_traffic(604800,$wtcuni); ?></span></li>
<li><?php echo $options["wp_wtc_WidgetText_LastMonth"].”: <span id=’wtc_lms’>”.get_traffic(2592000,$wtcuni); ?></span></li>
<li><?php echo $options["wp_wtc_WidgetText_Online"].”: “.get_traffic(600, true); ?></li>
</ul>

add

get_traffic(86400,$wtcuni) + 1000 , or whatever number you wanna add to what widget shows…

Luke,

Probably you had some intense traffic on your site, the day before, just about the time you went for the coffee next day . It’s no error… the plugin logs all traffic and then sums up the numbers… You didn’t lose any of that traffic as the logs still count for the last week’s / mounth’s traffic…
