Another returning feature - your stats

ianmorland

Good afternoon all,

As I mentioned in the dev diary last week, I've been working on bringing back some basic stats to your user profile.

This morning I discussed with @roxy_r about releasing an early preview version of this to you all, which happily she has agreed to 🙂

Please bear in mind that this is still experimental, and might not work completely as expected at the moment. The presentation is very basic, with almost no theming at all. This makes it a perfect project for our very own @annesolano to gather your feedback on...

How do you think the stats page should look?
What stats are you interested in seeing?

Head over to your profile page, and select 'stats' to check out the feature so far!

ianmorland Great to see this come back, looks good so far, don't see that it needs to be overly complex or have much changed based on what's there, a nice clean table with all the necessary stats seems just perfect and something of an improvement on what I recall being available in Lithium! 🙂 nice work 🙂

wedgington

ianmorland yes great that it's back, like it thanks 👍

dtuxcomp

ianmorland Nice job, it's already looking pretty good on desktop, I'll give it a look on the phone next 🙂 Yep works fine in the ap too 🙂 Doesn't need much tweaking IMHO 🙂

endorphin

ianmorland @annesolano I hate unnecessary repetition so can I suggest a slight change to:

This also narrows the table making it easier to read. And I think it would make more sense to have "This Month" before "Last Month" in both cases.

Is this necessary ? ianmorland
IP History
No records to display
Device HistoryNo records to display
I also agree with endorphin comments
But yes its great to see these stats coming back

Good to see the stats back.

The one I'm most interested in is minutes online. I was approaching a significant milestone. I'm guessing that the figures showing for that stat are based solely on the Flarum platform.

Will the figures for the Lithium platform be added to them as the figures for best answers and some of the other stats have clearly come from the Lithium platform

ianmorland I must be thick as two short planks, I cannot see it?

ianmorland Nicely done,simple and clear please don't start poncing it up,it gives me all the information i need so spot on 😄

I like the simplicity of the table and tend to agree with @endorphin regarding the repetition and narrowing the table width.

anth006

ianmorland That's all looking perfect to me. Thank you.

Good to see the stats back. Thanks to all for the hard work done.

Are the ones currently displayed supposed to be accurate?

I ask since mine shows (only) 57 "Total logins". Is that, maybe, for this month?

I don't think the presentation needs much tarting up, but I do favour @endorphin layout in Post #7.

EDIT oops, typo!

formulaone

ianmorland What stats are you interested in seeing?

Awesomeness! 🙂

Best Answers (That 'you' have been awarded by others, and how many that 'you' have awarded others)
How Many Posts That You've Made
How Many Hours/Minutes That You've Been Online

I can't remember some of the old features that we had on our old forum profile page. Will have to get Remembering lol. I'll pop back if I remember. Lol

...........

Just looked at the stats page, its looking good so far!

Is as per the following really necessary;

" Best answers authored (Last month) 0
Best answers authored (This month) 0"

........ As you already have one saying "Best answers authored (All time).

How about (just an idea), changing all of those, (as list above) to,;

Best answers authored (by others)
Best answers authored (by you)

🙂

PS; The same goes for, "Total discussions participated"

..........

Just another idea! (If anyone else wants to use this idea and to add more in, go for it)!

Total minutes online .......
Total logins .......
Total discussions participated .......
Best answers set (by you) ......
Best answers authored (by others) ......
Reactions received ........
Reactions given ......

Glad to see this back.well done and good luck

shabazmoqsud

ianmorland this is fantastic

awesome work keep it up.

i can see it now on the app great.

harrrrrry

ianmorland

How about doing it in a table:

wagstaffes

ianmorland it's nice to see the stats back although I would change the order a bit. The ones people will be most interested in are Best Answers and Reactions (kudos) so they need to go to the top of the page/table, followed by number of Discussions.
I'm not really interested in number of logins, minutes online etc but others may be

It's good to see the stats section making a return , thank you to yourself and all involved with the development program , things seem to be progressing well , I'm sure that when all the tweaking is completed it'll be as good as it ever was .

pw6049

ianmorland thanks that's great news that this is back

jaymailsays

ianmorland

sha_shah1

ianmorland

ianmorland How do you think the stats page should look?

Yes it's basic, but in my books there's nothing wrong with basic as usually it's simple and uncomplicated. I can't see the point of faffing about with tables etc. I am sure there are more worthy things for you all to be working on to make the forum more usable and acceptable than a bit of window dressing. And actually I preferred the first layout rather than what you have changed it to this morning. And rather than have the appendices at the foot of the list why can't you just have a heading of Flarum Stats?

ianmorland What stats are you interested in seeing?

Stats don't feature very high on my list of "must have/would like to have features, but since you ask I think everything with data available that you have included has a value, even the best answers authored for this and last month. I can see that can be useful for members who help on Help & Support.

I can't see the value of IP History or Device History however. For the vast majority of folks life is too short to worry about that kind of thing - or it should be 😆

suppers_ready In fact, and I know it's not down to Ian, but the whole gamification, rank, badges etc. has seemingly been abandoned. Not a good forum strategy. I know you're not supposed to care, but most folks do really

Many members now visiting and posting on the forum are post-Lithium so might not even know about the ranks, badges etc.. In some respects I think moving on from some of the features of Lithium is a positive thing. Removal of the Flarum "salad vegetables" from avatars was quite popular with people and if I remember rightly Will is beavering away in the background revamping stickers, which will probably bring back some of what you want to see.

ianmorland Will the ranks be coming back?

richybhoy36

chand311

lmort57
Wow i like that. But i must agree with our @endorphin about having this month first.
Other than that its good. So a big thanks to you.
All the best Bob 😄

r29ssy

Well done , very easy to understand 👍️ 😄

charlixsparkles

Looks good!
LOL that the first thing listed is how many minutes are spent online! I don’t know if I really want to know!!

jesi23

charlixsparkles that the first thing listed is how many minutes are spent online! I don’t know if I really want to know

I wouldn’t mind knowing how many minutes spent online, but that information is not yet available lol.

@ianmorland - another thing I think I would be interested in knowing is how many posts I have flagged (with the breakdown of this month, last month, overall total) - is that information available? Not for public information, but for private notes. _🤡

formulaone

endorphin

I have to agree buddy. I like you're suggestion! A nice layout of the stats page! 🙂

pault1974

endorphin that layout looks a lot cleaner and is easier to read.

ianmorland

endorphin

The first update to the stats since we released it, I've slightly changed the table layout as per @endorphin 's suggestion.

extreme_one

This has now been added

jfc1951 mine shows (only) 57 "Total logins". Is that, maybe, for this month?

Total logins and minutes online are currently being a little problematic. The other stats should be accurate now, but these two still need some work from my side

persco

Thanks for the update. Like it.

endorphin

bluemoonbaz yes I'm not too fussed about IP and Device Histories but it could be useful to see if your account is being misused I suppose.

formulaone

bluemoonbaz IP History
No records to display
Device HistoryNo records to display

I agree! Those are really not necessary! 🙂

kathleen414

@ianmorland thank you and the team for these stats returning 🤗

ianmorland

suppers_ready The one I'm most interested in is minutes online

Unfortunately, we did not migrate the minutes online data over, so this will only count since Flarum launch.

I'm aware of an issue with this measurement at the moment too, so for the moment the 'minutes online' should be treated as a guide only.

bobrobinson
