We’ve just updated Logaholic to version 2.7.8. This is a maintenance release that contains some minor bug fixes when selecting Funnel and Test Center Reports on the dashboard and a bug in FTP functions.

For SPE users, this also adds the ability to set expiry dates on user accounts via the API

In this release, we’ve tried to make importing your log files as easy as possible by adding a full spread of methods by which Logaholic can access your website’s log files.

Of course, if you install Logaholic on the same machine as your website, you already have access to your log files provided your PHP is allowed to access the path your log files are stored in.

But now, we’ve added full featured FTP support and direct file upload capabilities to Logaholic to make it even easier for you to put your log files in a place where Logaholic can access and analyze them.

Previous versions supported single file ftp downloads, this version supports downloading multiple files with full download resume capabilities for efficient and hands-off analysis of log files that are pulled in from a different server (or the same server if you are not allowed to change your PHP settings).

We’ve also added file upload capabilities, which means that if you have your log files on your local disk, you can simply upload the files to logaholic with one click and analyze them.

All software download links on the site have been updated, so if you want a trial version, please visit the download page. Customers, please download from your order page by logging in here.

Our Logaholic Live systems will also be updated in the next few weeks. This means Logaholic Live customers will be able to take advantage of log file FTP and Upload capabilities, which will make Logaholic the first and only hosted web site statistics service that allows you to upload and analyze your own access log files, rather than just collect data via javascript tracking tags!

We’ve just updated the Logaholic web analytics software to version 2.7.6. This update makes it easier to put the system in ‘IP encoding’ mode which increases the compliance of Logaholic with German privacy laws. When enabled, Logaholic no longer stores or displays IP addresses in unencoded form.

To use IP encoding, simply go to the Global Settings page of your Logaholic installlation and click the ‘Enable IP Encoding’ link.

Another improvement in this release includes a feature that allows you to update geographic information of visitors. This means that if you update your Maxmind.com Geo IP database (which may provide more accurate Country information), you can also update traffic in Logaholic that was already analyzed previously.

To use this feature, just go to the Database Maintenance page for any profile and click the ‘Update Country Information’ link.

Logaholic will be participating in this year’s World Hosting Days fair from March 22nd to the 25th at the Europa Park in Rust, Germany (near Strasbourg). If you are in the neighborhood, come visit us at our booth in the exhibition hall!

We’ve just released Logaholic 2.7.5, which has a number of new features, improvements and bug fixes.

New:

• Page titles
  When using the javascript tags to collect data, Logaholic will now also display the Title of your web pages in reports listing top pages and so on. This makes the reports more readable, especially if you have cryptic page names like /atr-bvt89.html
• Time to Conversion
  A new report has been added that shows the time it takes for a visitor to reach a conversion event on your site. Just choose a KPI / target file and the report displays a list time ranges, with averages and visitor shares. Now, you can finally say things like: “40% of my visitors sign up for my newsletter within 10 minutes”.
• More Dashboard reports
  Page Conversion, Referrer Conversion, Keyword Conversion and Time to Conversion reports can now also be included on the Today dashboard.

Improved:

• XML / CSV Reports
  Page Conversion, Referrer Conversion, Keyword Conversion and Time to Conversion reports can now also be exported in XML and CSV formats
• More exact conversion stats
  Page, referrer and keyword conversion reports have been rebuilt so they now only show those elements that actaully led to a conversion, plus they only calculate the conversion towards the keyword or referrer that was used to find your site the first time.
• Landing page stats
  The landing page column in Top Referrer and Keyword reports now more accurately displays the most recent landing page for that keyword or referring URL.

Fixed:

• Fixed a bug that caused a database error when using mysql 5.5
• Fixed incorrect number formatting issues in certain columns

All download links on the site have been updated. We hope you enjoy the new version!
