CUNY Academic Commons

I do not want to use Firestats if I can help it. It's very resource intensive.

Ray, do you have any suggestions for something lightweight that we can host locally? I'm not all that familiar with what's out there.

FWIW it's not out of the question that we would work with André to create something custom (we would build the WP front-end). This would be worthwhile because I am wary of the Commons recommending that people use things like Google Analytics.

Wordpress Hit Counter

It's exactly what the plugin title states! Briefly looked at the code, but apart from the multiple add_option calls (we could probably reduce the DB hits here), it looks like just what the doctor ordered.

This sounds good to me, nice 'n simple. Unless, of course, you go custom - I think CUNY might want to be able to analyze this kind of info, if already easily readable, Commons-wide (barring privacy issues, etc.).

Hi Michael,

We already have site analytics for the entire Commons domain. But we're happy to add this plugin that will give individual bloggers a chance to record their own hits!

Best,

Matt
