I have to study SlimStat in more detail when I have enough time (any century now :) for a careful analysis, as I don't want to loose my stats history. Dan, thanks for the tip.

I’ve only been using ShortStat for a few weeks and I’ve come to really like it. It’s a very simple…

I've been excitedly waiting for Mint, but... gee, it's taking a long while. Thanks for the code; it works well.

You have to add the following directives to <em>configuration.php</em>:<br/>$SI_display['dateformat'] = 'M j';<br/>$SI_display['timeformat'] = 'H:i';<br/>$SI_display['whoisurl'] = 'http://www.samspade.org/t/lookat?a=%i';<br/>$SI_display['maxleechdays'] = 3;<br/>$SI_display['leechlimit'] = 50; Some of those may already be there, as you have used some other hacks of mine. Shaun has been indeed quite slow releasing the promised new version of ShortStat. I've got to understanding that <em>Mint</em> (<a href="http://www.haveamint.com" rel="nofollow">haveamint.com</a> may be the next ShortStat. I haven't been that interested in the next version of ShortStat after seeing it working on hicksdesign.co.uk. Too complicated and no possibility to have all information at a glance. Currently I'm too busy to get anything in releasable shape and ShortStat would benefit a lot from modulatiry and configurability. These unsexy features should be implemented and it takes quite a while to do them properly. The database schema is also burdensome, as the installation slows down rapidly when the amount of data grows.

I've implemented all of your hacks, as well as a few minor ones of my own (http://www.danandsherree.com/2005/08/06/hacking_shortstat.php). My further-modified installation is running at http://www.danandsherree.com/shortstat/. I have some other ideas in mind I'd like to implement, too. Maybe we should try getting together to release our hacked version? Janne, I’d love to get a hold of your leeches code.
