Not sure why but I get this PHP error displayed at the bottom of the front page (and seems like only the front page) when admin is logged out (in anonymous mode):

Fatal error: Call to undefined function user_access() in ../modules/statistics/statistics.module on line 52

When logged in as admin, it goes away.

I checked Line 52 of my statistics.module and I see this code:

  /* Extended filtering added by SiliconMind */
  if (variable_get('statistics_exclude_admins',true) && user_access('administer site configuration'))
    return;

Can someone give me clues on what may be causing this?

You have the page cache enabled in the performance settings, which serves cached pages to anonymous users. Drupal only loads a subset of the full functionality available while doing this.

Your statistics.module is locally modified (from issue #255769: statistics module needs basic log rules ?), either remove these local modifications or disable page caching.

You could try moving the drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_PATH); line above the modified code.

@asimmonds: Thank you for your suggestions!

Yes I did have a locally modified statistics.module (from issue #255769: statistics module needs basic log rules ).

Since these features are crucial, I kept the modifications and disabled page caching instead.

I also posted an entry in the #255759 thread http://drupal.org/node/255769 linking the patch to this issue.

spiffyd: You might be interested in the Statistics Advanced Settings module (http://drupal.org/project/statistics_advanced). Marking as fixed since this was a problem with a core hack.

@2: if you change the line
if (variable_get('statistics_exclude_admins',true) && user_access('administer site configuration'))
to
if ($user->uid && variable_get('statistics_exclude_admins',true) && user_access('administer site configuration'))
you can should be able to use normal page caching as well as the patch. (Anonymous users should not have admin permissions, and non-anonymous users will never see cached pages, so user_access will work.)

There is also http://drupal.org/project/statistics_filter, per http://drupal.org/node/255769#comment-837557. but this hasn't had much activity recently, and there is a suggestion that it will in any case #305764: Merge with Statistics Advanced module?.
