kStats Reloaded just passed 5,000 downloads!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the development, by supporting the plugin through using it, writing about it in your blogs, sending me feedback via comments, email or bug reports, and anything I missed mentioning! It’s been a lot of fun, and I hope to see it continue growing in popularity.
I’ve got a list a mile long of new features that are up and coming, and I’m currently working on yet more improvements to the database structure as we speak in further attempts to ensure that this is not only an accurate and feature rich plugin, but a lil’ speed demon too. Again, thank you all, and don’t be shy about sending me your criticisms or suggestions!
Mod What?
I just recently installed Mod Security on my server in an attempt to reduce the number of attacks on my blog and the ridiculous referrer spam that I’ve been getting lately. I’m sorry, but I have no interest in taking a screenshot of the latest kStats and showing everybody that 5 out of ten of my top referrers are coming from some stupid subdomain of a**f***d****.com (you’ll notice the most recent screenshot has the top referrers chart collapsed for a reason).
While it deals mainly in HTTP and regular expressions, of which I’m familiar with, the syntax is completely new to me. I hope I haven’t turned on any rules that result in any odd behaviour for anyone; If you notice anything out of the ordinary while trying to perform common tasks such as leaving comments, please let me know so that I can fix it asap. I already had to rewrite a few rules because I managed to make it believe using phpMyAdmin was some form of attempted SQL injection attack…
