COUNTER compliance

Hello Thomas,

Do you think that your bots list can be compliant with the project COUNTER list (please see it below)?

http://www.projectcounter.org/r4/COUNTER_Robots_list_Jan2014.txt

I know that it seems to be a bit obsolete these days, for example the Bing is missing one, but probably you could add some bots from that list.

What's your opinion?

Regards,
Pawel

Have a look at the Import-Function. Maybe that's what you want.

You just have to edit the list and bring it to the correct format:
botname1|botkeyword1|
botname2|botkeyword2|
...
botnameX|botkeywordX

Then you can import it for every website, you are using with Piwik.

Thanks for your tip, Thomas! I'll try to do it in that way.

BTW, can I use a regular expression for a botkeyword?

The search is done within SQL but without regex.

But mySQL has some regex-functions so maybe I can implement that later.

Thank you for the info!
