The PageViewInfo extension provides API modules to access pageview-related data and adds fancy looking graphs to the "Page information" interface.

It does not do any data collection or storage itself; it relies on the PageViewService class which needs to be implemented for each data collection backend.

Installation

• Requires Graph extension if you want to see the fancy graphs
• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called PageViewInfo in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php :

  wfLoadExtension( 'PageViewInfo' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Vagrant installation:

• If using Vagrant , install with vagrant roles enable pageviewinfo --provision

Currently, PageViewService class is only implemented for the Wikimedia Pageview API in this extension. You must install an additional, community-maintained extension to use other data collection backend.

• Extension:PageViewInfoGA - Supports Google Analytics integration.

If you implemented your own PageViewService, please list it here.
