Hello,

I am building a site for my business. One of the requirements for the site is to build an access log showing what users accessed what pages when. I want to see a time stamp, user name, and node name, a link to the node, and integration with organic groups so I can create access log reports by group. I understand that the access log feature is turned off in BOA, so I cannot use the native drupal function. I have identified this module:

http://drupal.org/project/nodeviewcount

I can use the module to build a view reporting $uid, $nid, but I'm not savvy enough to change the module to pull out the user name and node title with link. I have requested that improvement from the module creator. Does anyone have any tips on how to build an access log on a BOA site? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks,
John Davenport

Piwik perhaps?

Before you try to build something from scratch, here's a module suggestion you might try. It is fairly sophisticated in its implementation, yet easy to install and keep up-to-date. I also think it meets all of your functional requirements well.

Thank you

I have been looking at that and google analytics. With google analytics I have to paste code onto every page I want to track, and I have been lazy about figuring out how to automate it. I will check out piwik.

Thanks again
