Hide amazonaws.com from Statistics?

[Harald Weingaertner]

Hi,

does somebody know if it is possible to hide referrers from amazonaws.com from the statistic plugin?

I don't want to deny access from amazonaws.com, i just don't want to view those entries at the bottom of my statistic. I also don't want the referrer in my blog-konfig. The entries just mess up my stats, because the access the site every 15 minutes (to fetch some content).

Thank you and regards, Harald

It is not, as far as I can see. Not with the “normal” options of the plugin. I doubt that there is an easy, update-safe trick doing i.e. some MySQL voodoo, but I wouldn't know.

Tanks for your reply yellowled.

I'd suggest to setup a cronjob that removes those statistics daily? Alternatively, you can patch include/functions.inc.php the function serendipity_displayTopUrlList() - there where the SQL part "WHERE" is build you can put a

Code: Select all

WHERE host NOT LIKE 'amazonaws.com' AND day > date...

to filter it. However I'm not sure that we should add such a filter in our current codebase as an option, what do others think? We could even outsource it as a global $serendipity variable like $serendipity['ignoreReferrer'] with an array of hosts to ignore...?!

Thanks Garvin,

personal i would love to have a filter, where i could filter some referrers out of my statistics. Maybe this should be done in the statistic plugin?

Thanks for the two workarounds.

Best regards, Harlad
