Add this in /conf/hacks.php

$Hit->logged = true;

If you are using b2evo 4 you will need to enable hacks.php first by adding this var in any config file

$use_hacks = true;

BTW have you seen this thread?

The only workaround I found is to break the hitlog table on partitions by day. And then add new and prune old partitions (not individual rows) on schedule.

actually i havent. i took a quick look at the topic, remembering good old ¥åßßå once again.. :(

apart from that, i did not get much idea from that topic on what to do exactly, i guess i will move on with disabling stats.

PS: i ve been meaning to upgrade, but i ve been waiting for 4.1 and it hasnt arrived. i am still on 4.0.3 , could this be a problematic version ?

The bugs it has are not related to your problems. I believe it's safe to wait for 4.1, and it would be the best b2evo version ever seen B)

The main idea of that thread was to figure out how to make mysql server efficiently delete millions of rows. The only solution that is relatively easy yet very effective is to partition tables by days, e.g. one day - one mysql partition. So once a day mysql will [u]delete 1 partition[/u] (file) instead of [u]millions of rows[/u].

I just did like you said:
First opened basic.config.php and added use_hacks = true to it.
After that i created a hacks.php file and uploaded into /conf directory with $Hit->logged = true; in it.

But b2 is still recording hits.

I'm curious. Why does it log, what does the logging do, and where can we see it? The only time I see it is when in the dashboard, I see the "Remove old hits and sessions" task.

Have you seen the "Stats" menu button in backoffice? ;)
