Creating A Stats Page In PureBlog
| 1 min read
I recently started using PureBlog for my main IndieWeb home and I really like it. It has every feature I need and it's simple and lightweight. I have been making some additions for it, such as an automatically updating sitemap, but here's a simple statistics page too. Basically copied from admin/dashboard.php with some alterations.
- Go to routes and enter this:
/stats | /content/includes/stats.php
- Make stats.php in content/includes on your server and the contents should be this:
require PUREBLOG_BASE_PATH . '/includes/header.php';
render_masthead_layout($config, ['page' => null]);
?>
<main>
<h1> Stats </h1>
<?php

$firstOfMonth = new DateTimeImmutable($now->format('Y-m-01'), $tz);
for ($i = 11; $i >= 0; $i--) {

$month = (int) $dt->format('n');
$chartMonths[] = [
