We’ve made a 30 second clip to give you a first impression:

New user interface

Logaholic has been revamped in this version to give you better, faster and more convenient access to your web analytics reports. We’ve created a short tutorial (6 mins) to show you how you can use and create dashboards in Logaholic 3.0:

If you would like to take the new UI for a test drive, you can check out the live demo here:

New features

• Drag & Drop reports to create custom dashboards on the fly
• Create PDF documents from dashboards
• Toggle between Tables, Pie or Graph modes for report visualization
• Manually give visitors a custom name and/or mark them as a bot
• Long reports can be paginated into smaller chunks
• Open entire categories of reports with one click
• Added IPv6 support
• Possibility to switch between the old and new UI
• PHP class for creating your own Logaholic reports
• New Javascript function for logging custom events in Logaholic
• Install Logaholic as a Wordpress plugin

New Reports

You can now extend your Logaholic with plugin reports available in the Logaholic Report Store (opening soon).
There are a number of trail reports already available in this release, but our opening store lineup will include Twitter reports, Facebook analytics, Youtube statistics, Goal Analysis and more.

Creating your own reports

The new code behind Logaholic’s reporting engine makes the software completely extendible with any number of reports, using almost any kind of local or remote data source.

If you have some knowledge of coding in PHP, you can easily write your own reports using the PHP class we’ve created. We’re currently writing the documentation and tutorials for this and will post it soon!

Other changes

• The entire user interface has been redesigned
• All graphs have been redesigned in Javascript/HTML5
• The javascript tracker tag has been changed (update your pages)
• Added keyword “(Not Provided)” to account for Google SSL search
• Improved column sorting and pagination features on tables
• Improved browser, OS and Device detection
• Improved XML output mode
• Improved World map US view
• Added caching for resolved IP’s

We hope you like the new user interface, but just in case you prefer the old one, we’ve added a way to keep using that too

This app is part of our efforts to bring full features analytics for your Facebook friends, pages and apps to Logaholic. So stay tuned for more announcements soon!

For SPE users, this also adds the ability to set expiry dates on user accounts via the API

Of course, if you install Logaholic on the same machine as your website, you already have access to your log files provided your PHP is allowed to access the path your log files are stored in.

But now, we’ve added full featured FTP support and direct file upload capabilities to Logaholic to make it even easier for you to put your log files in a place where Logaholic can access and analyze them.

Previous versions supported single file ftp downloads, this version supports downloading multiple files with full download resume capabilities for efficient and hands-off analysis of log files that are pulled in from a different server (or the same server if you are not allowed to change your PHP settings).

We’ve also added file upload capabilities, which means that if you have your log files on your local disk, you can simply upload the files to logaholic with one click and analyze them.

All software download links on the site have been updated, so if you want a trial version, please visit the download page. Customers, please download from your order page by logging in here.

Our Logaholic Live systems will also be updated in the next few weeks. This means Logaholic Live customers will be able to take advantage of log file FTP and Upload capabilities, which will make Logaholic the first and only hosted web site statistics service that allows you to upload and analyze your own access log files, rather than just collect data via javascript tracking tags!

To use IP encoding, simply go to the Global Settings page of your Logaholic installlation and click the ‘Enable IP Encoding’ link.

Another improvement in this release includes a feature that allows you to update geographic information of visitors. This means that if you update your Maxmind.com Geo IP database (which may provide more accurate Country information), you can also update traffic in Logaholic that was already analyzed previously.

To use this feature, just go to the Database Maintenance page for any profile and click the ‘Update Country Information’ link.
