Here is a quick post just to tell that I’ve updated my main Wordpress plugins.
ZdStatistics
ZdStatistics will now allow you to check your blog’s performances, using SQL Queries count and Page load time. Don’t worry, version 1.1.5 will allow you to get performances through a chart. This will allow you to see major changes when activating various plugins.
Another function introduced in this version is the Top Ten. This will show you top ten pages, referers or visitors over a period of time.
Btw, remember that if you upgrade the plugin, you’ll have to grab the latest GeoLiteCity.dat as described here.
ZdMultilang
Thanks to the update of ZdStatistics, I could identify a major problem with ZdMultilang, which was the huge amount of Sql Queries made to the database.
So this is the only change for this version, I cleaned up the code and optimized Sql queries to give it more performances. As an example, my main page got from more than 240 queries to display to only… 23. Globally, I use a caching technique that will make no more than 10 queries on your pages.

Hey Anthony,
Awesome job on the plugins :)
A small feature request for ZDStats : Auto Deletion of Statistic logs after a configurable period of time, say 3 months, 6 months or a year :)
Thanks and keep up the awesome job :)
Thanks for your support ! :)
Yes, that will come with next release. But I still have to figure out how I will archive stats (I don’t like deletion, but I’ll make the option available) What I will do is probably a deletion and a CSV Export so that you can archive everything you need in a CSV file and then delete it.
Looks like just what the doctor ordered :)
Awesome… archiving would be great :)
It would be nice to add localization support for making possible to easily translate the plugin.
If you add it, I will make the spanish translation for this very nice plugin ;)
Samuel,
The plugins are already localized, but there is only french translation for now.
Sorry!, I didnt see the lang directory at first look :)
I’ll make the spanish translation and send to you when ready.
By the way… how long takes the plugin to show the firts statistics??
It’s installed since 6 hours ago in my blog but nothing showing for now…
Samuel,
I have no exact idea, it should be immediate as there is no post-processing, but that depends on your options.
I’ll make a better online documentation for zdstats as it’s quite poor at that time.
Ok.
Anyway… I think that there is something that is not working for me, because the plugin is still not showing anything and neither gets the strings translated after uploading the mo file where I translated some strings… :-?
To be sure the file is translated you have to edit the po file using something like poedit and then it will generate the correct .mo file.
Did you check the auto processing of lines ?
I have pretty much experience in translating matters :) (i.e. I’m the translator for cforms plugin).
I have noticed that the pot file is named zdstats.pot and the FR .po is named zd_stats-fr_FR.po
So as I took the .pot file to generate my es_ES file… the name for the .mo file was not the correct (missing “_” between zd and stats).
Maybe you would rename the .pot file for future releases :)
That was the problem about the translation, now is working, but I dont know if I’ll finish it because is useless for me to translate a plugin that I cant use :(
Samuel, you can send me an email with your options panel screenshot so that I can have a look at your problem. (anthony @ this domain)
