This plugin analyzes the referrer data stored in exp_referrers and displays search phrases, search engines, keywords and rankings.

It’s just a little toy for your personal information. You’ll probably want to use it on a non-public template much like the referrer-list.

Very nice indeed :D

Saw this on your site last night, silenz - nicely done. You’ve been very busy with plugins!

Very cool indeed Silenz

Just a note that I have some referrers where the ref_from is not a valid URL, resulting in “Undefined index: host” errors, so you might want to make sure that parse_url() returns what you are expecting before accessing indexes of the returned array.  Other than that, it’s rather nifty and a useful way of displaying the information from that table.

Still needs some fiddling here and there, yes.

What troubles me especially is that I seem to be unable to properly decode the html-entities in the stored ref_from strings which results in many scrambled special chars.

...I have some referrers where the ref_from is not a valid URL…

That has been taken care of.

[quote author=“myself”]I seem to be unable to properly decode the html-entities

Thanks to a tip by Derek that is also resolved
The plugin’s output is utf-8 now.

Other than that I updated this plugin to version 1.2 and added to new variables / parameters:

{top_referrer}:
lists referrers (hosts) by number of referrals

{eesearch_cloud}:
shows search phrases used with the EE search module in a cloud view
Since I found lots of spam in the Search Term Log I’m filtering out any HTML, BBCode and URLs there, though.

If i install the plugin and would put it on an empty template, i get this error, wat could it be?

mbstring is a non-default extension, which must be enabled explicitly by the host. Talk to them.

Ohkee, i’ll ask them

First off:
This is a really nice plugin! Important info at a glance, hats off.

I ran into an error though

Due working in Aptana under windows and sometime clicking a live link in the work environment I assume.
Q:Could this be checked for (sorry my PHP knowledge is minimal).

I also ran into the mb_strtolower problem. I just turned all calls back into

instead of:

which works for me (no umlauts etc) (no chance of getting the mb_strtolower installed here)

It works, the mbstring is now on

Thanks to Ingmar for the support. I have been away for two weeks.

When I find the time, I’ll build in a fallback to strtolower if Multibyte String Functions are not installed.

Considering the warning with file://-referrers… that has been taken care of in version 1.3.1

New EE user here…  Could you share how to make it so this posts to a private template?

Just add it to a template and click the Access link to the right of that template, set it to “No” for all those member groups =)

Does it need to be in its own template group?  Also, for the template sytle does it need to be a new one or use existing?

It can go into any template in whatever group you want, and it can be styled in whatever way you wish. =)

What Lisa says ... just slower

I just want to announce the release of version 1.4

I followed a user’s suggestion and added an optional site-parameter to be able to generate separate statistics per site for MSM-users.
