Statistics (module for Omeka S)

New versions of this module and support for Omeka S version 3.0 and above are available on GitLab, which seems to respect users and privacy better than the previous repository.

Statistics is a module for Omeka S that computes statistics about resources: items, item sets, media, properties, users, etc.

Since version 3.4.12, this module has been split into two modules: Analytics, for web analytics (page views, downloads, referrers, languages, user agents, etc.), similar to tools like Matomo (open source), Google Analytics (proprietary, no privacy); and Statistics, this module, for internal statistics about resources (counts by date, site, value, etc.).

Installation

Module

See general end user documentation for installing a module.

The module Common must be installed first.

To get statistics, the module Advanced Search is required in order to do advanced queries, in particular to get results by period.

The module uses an external library, so use the release zip to install it, or use and init the source.

If you were using Statistics before version 3.4.12, install the module Analytics first, then upgrade Statistics. The existing tables (hit and stat) will be automatically reused by Analytics. If you do not need web analytics, for example if you use another tool such as Matomo, you can uninstall the module Analytics afterwards.

• From the zip

Download the last release Statistics.zip from the list of releases, and uncompress it in the modules directory.

• From the source and for development

If the module was installed from the source, rename the name of the folder of the module to Statistics, go to the root module, and run:

composer install --no-dev

TODO

• [ ] Fixme: stats by value is wrong when a property has duplicate values for a resource (so fix it or warn about deduplicating values regularly (module BulkEdit)).
• [x] Fix and finalize statistics for public side and shortcodes.
• [ ] Statistics for api.
• [ ] Move some options to site settings.
• [x] Move all statistics methods from Stat and Hit models to Statistic Helper?
• [ ] Improve stats by item sets and move to helper Statistic.
• [ ] Enlarge item sets to any resource (item for media, periods, item set tree).
• [ ] Add tests.
• [ ] Include the right sidebar search form (the one used in site resources and pages) in by-value statistics.

Warning

Use it at your own risk.

It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.
