Hi there butchu. Been playing with TrafficA and right after the first few hours I decided to drop the two trackers I was already using (extreme tracking and google analytics) in favour of it.
What is useful at 50% in my opinion is the Trim URL option.
Practical example: right after TrafficA installation, I had no page.php?parameters pages, then I modified one so it is like docs.php?doc=doctitle, and Trim URL to off was the obvious subsequent step.
But now that I'm going to launch freeforum, that function will fire back, since if on one side I need to track the docs.php?doc=doctile parameter, I don't want to have separate hits for each forum.php?mode=blahblah page.
A useful addition would be to choose which pages to use Trim URL on (trim URL on forum.php, but don't trim URL on docs.php), and optionally (even if that would be useful as well) choose WHICH parameters to strip off each dynamic page (for example, if I have a userfeedback.php?title=titlename&view=bigchars, I may want to NOT trim URL, but then it would be useful to ignore the view=* parameter and only count as single page the title=* parameter).
Russian speaking users can find Russian discussions on phpTrafficA at ru-board.com

You have to customize the
If you want to ignore the
In
If you're using the image counter, you will have to play with the file
write_logs.php function. Here is a function that will trim selected parameters out of a url:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Function: query_string
// Description: Format the Query_String (removes the arguments
// used by FreeForum, and leave the others)
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function query_string($q_string, $strips) {
foreach($strips as $key) {
$strips[$key] = TRUE;
}
$q_string = str_replace("&","&", $q_string);
$var_value = explode("&", $q_string);
foreach($var_value as $var_peace){
$parts = explode("=", $var_peace);
if($strips[$parts[0]] != TRUE and $parts[0] != "") {
$my_q .= "$var_peace&";
}
}
//if( substr($my_q, -5) == "&" ){ $my_q = substr($my_q, 0, -5); }
return $my_q;
}
If you want to ignore the
view and title paramaters, you use it this way
$query = query_string($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"], array("view", "title));
$thispage = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]."?$query";
In
write_logs.php play with lines 58-63.
If you're using the image counter, you will have to play with the file
count.php.

I can't really argue with that! ;) I just have to tamper with the code as suggested, thanks for the ultrarapid fix!

I tested and played a bit with your snippet code, and the line you commented out,
was actually useful as
and the ending more like
In my case anyway, in the end, I only had to modify line 59 of write_logs.php as
What I think would be a cool addition (I think elementary to implement, as it's user-interface only, even if I'd be too noob to do this myself) would be the ability to define a base option for Trim URL as it it now, and a separate form where to insert overrides (something like how you can add yourself definitions for browsers, OSes and search engines).
Example: Trim URL to on, but in override forms you define:
//if( substr($my_q, -5) == "&" ){ $my_q = substr($my_q, 0, -5); }
was actually useful as
if( substr($my_q, -1) == "&" ){ $my_q = substr($my_q, 0, -1); }
and the ending more like
$thispage=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; if ($query) {$thispage = $thispage."?$query";}
In my case anyway, in the end, I only had to modify line 59 of write_logs.php as
if (($phpTA_sites[$sid]['trim']) || strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"forum.php")) {

I'll add this in the todo list, but for future versions. I want to release 2.1 soon!

I totally understand, from what I could guess from the new strings to translate, 2.1 is cool like it is, nonetheless ;)
In the meantime, this is a modified version of your suggested query_string() function, which instead of removing selected query parameters, actually selects ONLY the set parameters (for example "viewtopic" in forums, "gallery" in galleries, and so on) ignoring all other params being passed, whatever they may be.
and hence

function query_string($q_string, $usefulkeys) {
foreach($usefulkeys as $key) {
$usefulkeys[$key] = TRUE;

//this is what I think you wanted to do, instead of just replacing "&" by "&" ;)
$q_string = str_replace("&","&", $q_string);
$var_value = explode("&", $q_string);

$thispage=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; if ($query) {$thispage = $thispage."?$query";}

By the way, why the CODE tag doesn't work with multiple lines?

No problem, this thread will be useful for implementing the feature later on.
