Just commited Buddy Member Stats to Github, a plugin to get all BuddyPress related counts on user profile and BuddyPress Community Stats, a similar one acting at site level. This one is a fully rewamped version of the original who stopped to work normally around BP 1.7. New version make it compatible with WP 4.3+ and BP 2.3+

Community Stats display a basic community stats widget on dashboard, and can be added to any theme in sidebar, footer or elsewhere to your convenience.

Install from Github
===================

– download and unzip to wp-content/plugins/ directory
– remove -master from the folder name (git add this automatically)
– files starting by .git can also be removed
– go to dashboard > plugins and activate.
– read About page.
– go to dashboard > settings and setup the options. Save.
– You’re done.

Enjoy !

Thank you @danbp! Will be checking both out in a little while.
P.S. Will you also be submitting both to the WP Plugin repository?

yep, both are currently pending review on wp’s repo… wait and see !
Note that I also sent you test copies a week ago. 😉

+1 for submitting to the Plugin Directory! Makes them far easier for users to find. 🙂

[putorjuy]

Thank you. I will pay attention to this thing.

[danbp]

@modemlooper, you’re welcome. Hope it fit your need.

Thanks @danbp.

Could you add messages stats in a future release?
Messaging is the heart of my BP install and I currently have no idea how much activity is ongoing.

Not yet available on WP repo and already a feature request 😉

[danbp]

@maelga,

thank you for your interest. But… which plugin do you mean ?

If Buddy Community Stats, consider that messaging in BuddyPress concern firstly friends. When you’re on your profile, you can access to YOUR messages count (separated in send and received). Handling this as a global stat is not relevant to site wide activity.
Imagine a community of hundreds of members where only a handfull of members take heavy contacts. This will increase the counter, but will indicate something absolutely false about you site activity – because it is a private members exchange).
To get this count, you could use Buddy Member stats. But this plugin plays only at the member level, and his counts are not grouped to be shown to site admin.

The aim of both plugins is to provide some basic counts for community members while remaining fast (if possible) and simple, not to bring extensive metrics, graphs or analytic stats about anything happening in BuddyPress. There are probably more sophisticated plugins who can do that.

[maelga]

Yep, I mean your Community Stats plugin because I only need backend stats.

Different site, different needs I guess.
I do neither use the Friends component nor the Activity Streams one.
Posting of multiple custom post types and messaging are the 2 main activities, so this data is critical to me.

There are indeed plenty of plugins to report author/CPT stats but I yet have to come across one that tracks BP Messages.
If you are aware of one, please let me know. 😉
