Serendipity Forums

I'm having troubles with the "top referrers"-plug-in. For some reason until now all people that click to my blog via http://www.s9y.org/18.html (the list with users) are registered in the "suppress"-table instead of the "referrers"-table. The same thing happens also some times with people that visit my site via Google.

Why is this? Is this normal behaviour? I think it is some kind of anti-spa-method, but I think too much entries end up in “Suppress”?

The "suppress" table is some kind of "pre-cache".

Only when at least two hits from distinct IPs/hosts come from the same referrer, they are added to the referrer list. This is a very simple way to try to prevent spammers submiting one-time URL referrers...

This code-logic is in Serendipity fmro the very early days, where I was not part of the team, and I must admit I've not fully understood it yet, and that I just don't want to break something I don't personally use

Best regards,

Okay, but in the "suppress"-table I now have the referrer http://www.s9y.org/18.html 8 times, from 6 different IP's, but it doesn't show up as "top referrer" and http://www.s9y.org/18.html still isn't in the referrer-table. So how's that possible?

Are those suppresses from the same day?

If you know some PHP/MYSQL, you could look up the trackReferer() functions in our include/functions.inc.php file to see the whole logic...?

I think I've explained it at some time here on the forums, did you makea search for "suppress"?
