Shortstat Hack To Remove Local Views

Prevent your own pageviews from appearing in Shortstat stats

Create a file called _getmyip.php in your Shortstat directory with the following code:

<?php

$thisip = $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’];
$fp = fopen(‘_myip.php’, ‘w’);
$buffer = ‘<’.‘? $_myip = "’.$thisip.‘"; ?’.‘>’;
fwrite($fp, $buffer, strlen($buffer));

if(fclose($fp)) echo ’set IP to: ‘ . $thisip;
?>

Source: [ download | view ]

Add this code to the very top of shortstat/inc.stats.php:

<?php

@include(‘_myip.php’);
if($_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’] == $myip) exit;

Now open up _getmyip.php in a browser, and check to see that it writes the _myip.php file properly.

Call this page up whenever you are working on or viewing your site to prevent your pageviews from skewing your data.

To be secure, rename _getmyip.php to something unique so someone can’t reset your IP address.
