Hi,

found a solution myself. In cfg.d/z_irstats2.pl, the use_ids flag must be set to 0:

$c->{irstats2}->{sets} = [

        {

                'field' => 'divisions',

                'groupings' => [ 'authors' ]

        },

        {

                'field' => 'subjects',

                'groupings' => [ 'authors' ]

        },

        {

                'name' => 'type',

                'field' => 'type',

                'groupings' => [ 'authors' ]

        },

#       # EdShare:

#       {

#               'field' => 'courses',

#       }

        # using creators_name and creators_id

        {

                'name' => 'authors',

                'field' => 'creators',

                'groupings' => [ 'type' ],

                'anon' => 1,    # don't show user's email address (the 'id' field)

                # for compound:

# if use_ids == 0 -> just use _name, same as having field => 'creators_name'

# if use_ids == 1 -> use _id as key for the set and _name for display - value will be ignored if _id is NOT set!

                'use_ids' => 0,

#               'id_field' => 'id',             # default value, optional. if the subfield is called 'email' then use 'email'

                minimum_filter_length => 2,

        },

Now authors statistics are generated correctly.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi,

it looks like irstats2 has a flaw in gathering author data. From our statistics on our test server zoratest (irstats2 is not yet deployed on the production server www.zora.uzh.ch) we get the following picture:

You see immediately that this is plain wrong, because the top author, "Kälin, R" who published eprintid 10147 (see http://www.zora.uzh.ch/10147/) isn't on the list of top authors and should there have a count of 10077 downloads.

Kälin, R also doesn't appear in the Filter Items list of irstats2.

Checking the SQL tables as Seb suggested yields:

mysql> select * from eprint_creators_name where eprintid=10147\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
eprintid: 10147
pos: 0
creators_name_honourific:
creators_name_given: R
creators_name_family: K?lin
creators_name_lineage:
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


mysql> select * from eprint_creators_id where eprintid=10147\G
Empty set (0.00 sec)


Another eprint indeed lists entries in the eprint_creators_id table:

mysql> select * from eprint_creators_id where eprintid=13208;
+----------+-----+------------------------------+
| eprintid | pos | creators_id                  |
+----------+-----+------------------------------+
|    13208 |   0 | mjackson@vetclinics.uzh.ch   |
|    13208 |   1 |                              |
|    13208 |   2 | jkuemmerle@vetclinics.uzh.ch |
|    13208 |   3 | afuerst@vetclinics.uzh.ch    |
+----------+-----+------------------------------+


Conclusion: irstats2 seems to gather author statistics only correctly, if there is creators_id entry (at least an e-mail address set) in table eprint_creators_id . Also it seems to produce a filter list entry only, if there is a corresponding entry in table eprint_creators_id.

Irstats2 authors, please correct this wrong behavior.

Best regards,

Martin

And you do have creators data?  (select * from eprint_creators_name ---and/or--- select * from eprint_creators_id)

Cos that's where irstats2 tries to process the data from.

Hey,

Do you have a URL I can look at?

It seems like there are some issues with your data (the "countries' does not exist" error indicates some issues with Geo::IP). Do you get any related errors/warnings when you run "bin/epadmin test"?

If that were possible, I'd re-generate all the stats:

bin/stats/process_stats <id> --uninstall

then

bin/stats/process_stats <id> --setup --verbose

As you know, this may take some time (depending on the size of your 'access' dataset).

Kind regards,
Seb
