xwiki.com stats deactivated
Hi, We got a new load of spam related hammering on xwiki.com. It is more and more horrible and creates more and more unuseful load on xwiki.com. Spam robots have included creation of XWiki accounts and use of these accounts to publish spam data in the wiki pages. I've had to deactivate statistics since each spam-related request that cannot be catched by mod_security creates load on the database for these statistics. The only way to get statistics back will be to use Javascripts which triggers a statistics storage request in the database (which would be ignored by spam robots and search engines), or to wait until we can read Google Analytics or another external statistics engine and redisplay it on xwiki.com. In the future we will propose a tutorial to activate Google Analytics on your wikis. If you know how to do it you should include this on your wiki pages to get statistics for your wiki. I'm getting more and more worried about these spam robots and would welcome any help and ideas on how to handle this to make xwiki.com a viable platform for hosted public wikis.

Ludovic has experience with GA but I haven't used it myself so can't help much here. Ludovic? OTOH XWiki has a statistics module. See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/Statistics The only drawback (and it's an important one) is that I've found that stats eat a lot of the performance. So you might want to try it and see if the performance degradation is acceptable in your case. We need to do some profiling to see how it could be improved. Thanks -Vincent

Hi, As far as I know, embedding Google Analytics into XWiki to monitor the stats is not difficult. You just need to create a google analytics account and paste the script code that will be generated into the header of your XWiki pages. I think there is a javascript.vm template in albatross skin which seems to be the good place where pasting this code. Regards, Nicolas

Actually the good place is in the header. So just go the Administration page, then select the Presentation tab and modify the content of the HTTP Meta Information field. For example add at the end: <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/ javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "xxx"; urchinTracker(); </script> -Vincent
