normally the second should work already.
if not, you can add the domain to the blacklist in conf/_stats.php

Kiesow, you're right... that should work already....

So I shouldn't be my biggest referrer...

Aha. I just realized that they're coming from http://isaac.beigetower.org/b2evolution/blogs. I had initially set up b2evolution there, then in order to keep the consistency of any links, I replaced the stub files to a quicky php redirect script.

So, it looks like it's ignoring the clicked internal links, but a php redirect (I believe it's HTTP 302, but I'm not certain at the moment) gets logged as a valid hit.

I'll look into this a bit more this evening, maybe I'll discover that there's already a way to do that. Sure wouldn't be the first time :oops:

Hm, you should use 301 Moved rather than 302 Found if you've moved it permanently.

[added:]But yes, there should be checkboxes for what you want to delete; comments and/or stats, or delete nothing. How about that?

Ha! It appears that I'm not sending any server status at all, just a location. That would explain why the spiders keep crawling there. You're right, I should really stick a "Status: 301" in the header. (To my credit, I had just started learning php when I moved my b2evo blog out of the shadows.)

That would be splendid.

That's already been done for about 3 weeks now.

Oi. :oops:
I should spend a couple of minutes to "cvs update" then. :)

That makes two of us!

for your information, I added details in the "paris" release:

$blackList = array(
	$baseurl,
	'localhost',
	'127.0.0.1',
	// stat services
	'sitemeter.com/',
	// add your own...
);

Please note: no trailing slash on blacklisted URLS!

sorry to revive this old post, but I had a question along the same lines.

I have recently installed b2, and I really like it. The stats area I am not at all very happy. I am also showing myself as my ONLY referrer. I have 4 blogs total at my site. This will probably change in the future.

Anyway, it would make sense that when I click a link in one part of my site and I want to go to another that it would show myself as the referrer. In my case, I am linked from a couple of places, and even when I click from external links, the referrer stat still shows myself as the regerrer. What's going on? How do I fix this?

Could it be that my site is in a frame and that's what's causing the problem ? I am NOT a coder by any means, but I can follow instructions.

Also, b2 needs a MUCH more comprehensive stats logging.
1. UNIQUE hits to the site
2. Log unique IP's

As stated above, go to the _stats.php file in the conf/ directory.

There's a bit of code near the top that says:

/**
 * Blacklist: referrers that should be hidden in stats. This should typically include this
 * site as well as stat services, online email services, online aggregators, etc.
 *
 * The following substrings will be looked up in the referer http header
 * in order to identify referers to hide in the logs
 *

 *
 * WARNING: you should *NOT* use a slash at the end of simple domain names, as
 * older Netscape browsers will not send these. For example you should list
 * http://www.example.com instead of http://www.example.com/ .
 *
 * @global array $blackList
 */
$blackList = array(
	$baseurl,
	'http://localhost',
	'http://127.0.0.1',
	// stat services
	'sitemeter.com/',
	// aggregators
	'bloglines.com/',
	// caches
	'/search?q=cache:',		// Google cache

	'http://jazzcrazed.com'

Add your site within apostrophes here.

Thank you!

I'm still wondering though why when I go to my site through a link from another site it still records my site as the referrer. So I'll never know when someone is:

A: Linking to me
B: Whether they got to my site from a nother site that is linking to my site

Any help?
