Howdy!

I would like to add more in depth traffic statistics to Interchange's 
reports.  I use Interchange version 4.8 on Red Hat 7.2 with a standard 
foundation type catalog.  The stats I'd like to add are:

really important
--------------------
refering URLs
refering search engines and keywords

not so important but would be really cool
---------------------
monitor resolution of visitors
country of visitors
browser of visitors
page of entry
exit page
files / douments / images downloaded if any
error messages
OS's of visitors
plug ins of browsers

I know webalizer outputs to mySQL and Interchange's reports will custom 
read tables. . . .

webalizer also can be manipulated with php and mySQL so  you don't have 
to  edit those dreaded webalizer.conf files and create a new directory 
for every domain on the hosting server:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/hampton20010904.php3

I have not attempted this but took a look at the article.

Anyone done anything along these lines?

I'm willing to trade for a 10 page, easy to read tutorial I give to my 
clients that they use to prepare their images and product info for a 
foundation type Interchange eCommerce website.  I give them this 
tutorial along with a sample.xls and template.xls file.  I then upload 
the images and .xls file into the web site. I specify in my contract (as 
well as make it VERY CLEAR to the client) that any cleaning up or 
further work  that needs to be done to the database / images will be 
charged by the hour.  This makes my life MUCH easier.

I would not mind contributing this document to the list, but I would 
like to get some sort of decent traffic solution for my server that does 
not require paying an arm and a leg, trying to decipher someones cryptic 
undocumented / unsupported code (I'm not much of a perl, php or cgi 
programmer), or hand editing / saving configuration files for every 
domain on my server (so far I've got over 40).

Thanks!
