Will LOGman be part of DOCman or a separate product? What will be the cost?

hello Johan!
yes that’s true, we register activity for non-looged in. your component looks more like a tool for to track “admin” activity (edit actions, etc), which are usually performed by users that have access to add/edit content, so pretty much “admins”. we also have a backend “activity viewer”, but in our case it displays of course the actions we track (document and article views, downloads, stuff like that)
anyway, yes I believe there’s room for both of us! best of luck on this and your other projects (FILEman, new DOCman…). I’m a big fan, I have to say one of the things Contetn Statistics users love is its integration with DOCman!
if at any point you want to discuss any of this further, you can reach me by email any time.

best regards!

Hi Germi ! We know and love your content statistics components. There is a big difference with LOGman though. LOGman provides activity streams for actions performed by registered users, not for anonymous users.

For example LOGman tracks add/edit/delete actions. It logs who did what where. See also the link about activity theory and the emerging activity streams standard.

Unlike your content statistics component LOGman doesn’t track actions by anonymous users. For example it doesn’t track document downloads, or tries to calculate document popularity.

Hope that helps to explain it. As you can see both are very different components. I’m sure there is more then room enough for the both of us.

hello guys
this is great, but you’re not the first to implement this for Joomla! we, at Content Statistics, have been doing this since our extension came out in April! ;) http://www.joomlacontentstatistics.com

hope we can co-exist together! we also track activity for many Joomla extensions, including your wonderful DOCman!
