I'm not a native English speaker. Please correct my mistakes.

This module allows you to count hits and visits of your website.

In the display appears the hits and visits from the current day, as well as the respective total. Statistic is also in the backend.

Forum

Questions about the Visitors module will be answered in forum: Forum
Errors and requests can be reported in the Issue Tracker.

Installation

The installation of the module occurs about the extension Repository in back end of Contao.
A manual installation is possible. Download the ZIP file from Extension Repository, unzip and transfer it.
A directory should have been created "/system/modules/visitors".
Then call /contao/install.php - Perform Update Database.
( /typolight/install.php in older TYPOlight installations )

The module Visitors is dependent on the module "Bot Detection". It must therefore be installed with manual installation.

Note for older "TYPOlight" versions

TYPOlight 2.8

Users of TYPOlight 2.8.x, please use Visitors Modul Version 1.7.1 (Direct Link)

TYPOlight 2.7

Users of TYPOlight 2.7.x, please use Visitors Modul Version 1.4.1 (Direct Link)
