I tried to put the code in a widget, but I guess it does not work there anyhow.
I would like to display the number of overall visitors at the buttom of my page. Before when my blog was hosted at wordpress.com that supplied an easy widget to to that, but now on my selfhosted blog I fail to somehow display the overall number that can be found under Jetpack / Stats

That would be a lot trickier…

at the moment what I’m doing is simply adding extra stuff via php backend commands.

The backend chart is built in Flash, which also means that any data it retrieves is going to be a direct client to admin api call. Probably not possible, I believe.

hi all, how can we show that statictics graph in frontpage? It is now stuck in the backend which I think a waste: it can be a great addition to frontpage stat page.

For me, I wouldn’t touch the core files.

What I would do is look for the template files for single posts, and put some code in the template to display the extra information.

I’m not sure if stats_get_csv will do exactly what you want, however. There might be some other function that gives you the number of hits for a single post.

Thanks Daryl. I’ve actually hacked my admin section to death. It might come back to bite me when I go to upgrade, but I figure I will just set up a test region and work through it.

Anyway, let’s say for some odd reason I wanted to put the number of hits that a post has received into the post itself, like on the single.php or I could also put it into my author.php in the article feed there. Got any idea how to make it do that? Thx.

Modifying the admin section!? That is definitely not recommended.

Unless you’re adding new sections to the admin area, I don’t believe you can actually augment specific parts of existing functionality, and expect it to be forward compatible with future updates.

I’d start investigating the things that you can do with plugins and its limits.

I have a multi-author blog and I would like to be able to show them their stats/blog entry. Is there a way I can use this function to insert the number of page hits into the post list in the admin section?

Thx.

I think you can do no wrong making things easier for your readers, and I think this is achieved through preview and subscription functionalities.
