statistics module needs basic log rules

| Project: | Drupal |
| Version: | 7.x-dev |
| Component: | statistics.module |
| Category: | feature request |
| Priority: | normal |
| Assigned: | Unassigned |
| Status: | patch (code needs work) |
Description
This is simple patch that allows users to exclude certain traffic from statistics. It allows you to:
- Exclude system administrator (UID1)
- Exclude site administrators
- Exclude traffic that originates from the same IP as the site itself
- Exclude users
- Exclude IP addresses
- Exclude user agents
These extended statistics settings are extremely useful for small sites or sites that are just starting up. They allow you to exclude from statistics all the traffic generated by site administrators or by search engines. All you need to do is visit admin/reports/settings page and setup all new features. UID1 and users with administer site configuration permission are excluded by default .

#1
I'm sorry, i've just noticed that i had attached a wrong patch file :/
here is correct one.
#2
Since this has new features it won't go into Drupal until Drupal 7. Reroll against HEAD please.
#3
Related: http://drupal.org/node/18013.
[update - the URL alias is now working for the Statistics Filtering project. http://drupal.org/project/statistics_filter ]
#4
Resetting version.

I am using 6.3. I ran your patch (statistics-extended-2.patch) and it doesn't work. Suggestions?
Here's the result:
can't find file to patch at input line 4

#6
The patch is trying to amend a file called "6.x/statistics/statistics.admin.inc". Maybe edit the patch to remove the leading 6.x/

@gpk
Thanks! Your suggestions worked. However, I should note that the patch should be placed in the modules directory and not anywhere else.
#8
Yes, the patch is not in the right format to be applied from the main Drupal folder, i.e. it's not how it should be.
Re-opening the issue since although your problem is fixed, this feature is not in core yet nor has been rejected by the community.
#9
As basic as it seems, this patch NEEDS to be in CORE. It's a must...
#10
sorry for malformed patch file - patching drupal is not the thing i do on daily basis ;)
anyway, i'm quite overrun with a lot of work now - can someone please reroll this patch for D7? It seems like this might come in handy for some users. unfortunately i won't be able to install D7 and create new patch for some time :(
if someone needs a bit of motivation: i've been using this patch on my D6 for some time now. it performs very well as long as you keep your filters up to date (mainly user agent filter). using it makes statistics Just Work™ for small sites with low number of visitors.
#11
Is it possible to use this patch for drupal 5.x?
#12
Not sure if the patch will work on 5.x, even after accounting for #6.
But #3 http://drupal.org/node/255769#comment-837557 may provide a way forward.
