Counter History Database?

[BradSmith]

I would like to view the entire stored counter history... where can I find these numbers?

[dasonix]

is in the database. easy to find as it has its own section.

[BradSmith]

I can't find it, could you be more specific as to its location?

[BradSmith]

Bumping this... I'm trying to put together a report of the hits and views, I just need to know where to find where the numbers are stored.

[DrByte]

In your database there's a table with a moderately intuitive name: "counter_history", which stores hit/session counts per day

[BradSmith]

I'm still learning, here. Can I access the table through the Admin page, or do I have to access the database by a remote SQL (like FTP?)?

[DrByte]

No, you cannot use FTP. You would need to use a MySQL front-end tool like phpMyAdmin or write custom PHP code to access it.

Perhaps *more important* is the "why" behind your inquiry. What exactly are you wanting to do?

[BradSmith]

I'm going to be recording the numbers onto a Line Chart in Word so that I can have some documentation of the growth trend. The Admin page records the last 7 days, but I read that it keeps the past year in its base... so I want to record all of those numbers.

[DrByte]

Probably best to use phpMyAdmin (likely comes with your hosting control panel) to access the raw data.

Why don't you use the Google Analytics Module?

Google Analytics can keep track of all your hits, which pages were viewed the most, what region people visited from, and tons of other cool stuff. For more information on what Google Anaylics can do check out their site.
