This is a very powerful feature packed stats component, and very well thought out.
With just a little work to get the xml named to english the component was in place and tracking module installed and at work.
I wish to thank the authors of this component, they really have done a good job. They have won me over from bsw sitestats and I am a happy man.
There is only one problem though with this component..., that is that you will spend far too much time looking at your detailed website stats!

You may or may not have seen my previous reviews on BSQ stats. Since then I have had numerous problems with the component, on various sites that I run, and have completely uninstalled it. I also tried running JoomlaStats but after a couple of weeks the database bloated so quickly it was just completely unusable. Plus it was a little too "fiddly" for my liking, for example you can display referrers to your site, but it can only display on a daily basis, you can't specify periods - for example a whole month or week.

Along comes astatsPRO, and I think I've finally found a stats component that will do EXACTLY what I need. I currently run a number of adult sites, and as a "one man show" I definately cannot afford to waste time with trying to make something work when it should in the first place. However I do need a stats programe to guage where my traffic is coming from and adjust my marketing campaign accordingly.

astatsPRO installed easily, reminded me I needed to install the module along with the component, and I was ready to go. Not even a hint of editing the config.php file, which is refreshing.

As others have mentioned previously there is the *slight* hassle of having to re-login to access the stats, but as long as you have cookies enabled this should only be a one-off occurance. English is not the component creators native language so be sure to read carefully all instructions provided to make sure you understand what is required.

All in all a very well designed and implemented stats component. Many thanks to the developer for this.

This is the stats component I have been waiting for. This is the first component I have found that will tell me where each visitor came from and where they went on the site with great detail. The only problem I have found is the fact that it makes you login when your are already logged into the administrator panel.

On server with register_globals=Off $mosConfig_absolute_path is not defined in backend,so the component will not work!!!
The right way to change is this:

if(defined( '_VALID_MOS' ))
{
include("configuration.php");
}
else
{
include("../../../../configuration.php");
}

just replace include("../../../../configuration.php");

with
include("$mosConfig_absolute_path/configuration.php");

I very much like the look of this component. The only thing is I get a database error when i try to view the published module, and also no stats seem to be collecting when i view the stats in the backend also.

Where can I get english support for this component/module?

Thank you guys for this 'most positive' reviews... I would like to correspond to your desires. Most of this will be fixed for next release.

I had the same problem as the user above. Just edit line #34 to the right path and it will work.

I think the extension has great potention! It does a great job, but some minor bugs (like the line #34, language, scrolling) should be fixed.

Wish: a entry on the cpanel!

From 1-10 i will give it a 7. With bugfixes a 8,5!

First let me say this seems like a pretty nice package BUT the default install language is not english so you will have to muck around untill you can figure out how to set it to english. Also the mod once set active gave tons of errors of file not found so I had to open the /administrator/components/com_astatspro/includes/config.inc.php file and modify line #35 so as to allow it to find the joomla configuration.php file in the site root.

Another thing that bugs about this is that the admin interface runs in a little wrapper box so you can't see everything with out alot of scrolling :( Also the fact that you have to login again even tho you are already logged in as backend administrator stinks. So all in all I think I will leave it installed but I will also leave BSQ Sitestats installed as well.

So hopefully in the none beta version these things will have been fixed. :)

Thanks for the package guys, please keep improving it.
