Gathering Statistics

Some important statistics:

  • Web traffic – Stats from hosting service
  • Registered users – Joomla, Site > User Manager (also see below)
  • Order details – Joomla, Components > VirtueMart > Orders
  • Order summary – Joomla, Components > VirtueMart > Reports
  • Donations – Joomla, Components > Joom Donation > Donor Management
  • For the most part, I get the information by using select all (or I select table content using click/drag)cut, and paste into excel. Then once I’ve pasted into excel, I copy all the excel content into a new sheet using Paste Special > Values only. That gets the special junk out, but then you have to look for things you have to format like dates and currencies.
