Hello,
if I want to know to what extent and by whom my PIWIGO site is used, I regularly receive incorrect information.

For example, if I want to get an overview via Tools -> History -> Search, many page views are not displayed there at all. Even page views that take place via the mobile APP are not listed at all. If I want to specify and select the search, this is no longer possible with the "new" statistics GUI.

If I want to track the user activities via Users -> Manage -> Activity, only the activities of the admin user are displayed. All other users are not displayed in the standard view: it looks as if no user activity has taken place. If I then select an individual user via "Selected user", I can see that activities have indeed taken place. I don't have any other setting options in the entire Search GUI.

Overall, the whole stats section doesn't work well. I can't see what activity really took place on the site. In the old GUI there were differentiated setting options.

What can I do to solve the above problems?

Thanks for your help in advance and best regards - Daniel

Hello @Daniel-WW

For example, if I want to get an overview via Tools -> History -> Search, many page views are not displayed there at all.

On page [Administration > Configuration > Options > General] you can see that not all views are registered in the history. By default, visits by administrators are not registered. Maybe that's one of your issues.

Even page views that take place via the mobile APP are not listed at all.

Yes indeed. As far as I'm concerned, I see the mobile application more as a tool for administrators (and contributors) than a tool to browse your Piwigo. cc @EddyLB

If I want to specify and select the search, this is no longer possible with the "new" statistics GUI.

Could you be more specific?

If I want to track the user activities via Users -> Manage -> Activity, only the activities of the admin user are displayed.

Yes indeed, that's on purpose. What kind of activities would you expect in this list, for non-admin users?

Overall, the whole stats section doesn't work well. I can't see what activity really took place on the site. In the old GUI there were differentiated setting options.

And as perfectly outdated :-/ Many options, many input fields, too complex for many users.
