Hi, I'd like to disable statistics logging, but I can't find any information on how to do that. Suggestions?

Hi, this worked for me - quick and dirty:

sapphire/core/control/ContentController.php
line 76 - public function init()

//Statistics::collect();

Thanks!

I'm really starting to think that Silverstripe needs a basic control panel for stuff like this.

Great tip. I agree that having a settings page would be nice, but it goes against what the developers want SS to be according to one of the pages in the community section.

Is there a way to remove the stats link all together in the admin panel?

I really think statistics should be a module apart from the standard package. Most people will might want to use other tools for that anyway and last time I checked the stat section was broken, i.e. getting huge out of memory errors (bug's already reported).

I would agree and I believe it is happening. I remember reading that the Stats and NewsLetter will become modules and removed from the core.

*Edit* Oh, and I found out how to remove it or any link from the admin panel from the good ol' documentation.

Add this to your mysite/_config.php file. Make sure you disable it first, or it'll still log everything and make your database larger.

Object::addStaticVars('LeftAndMain', array(
'removed_menu_items' => array(
'statistics',
)
));

its in the works, statistics will be an optional module thats not distributed with the core starting from 2.2.3 (see http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/2145#comment:2)

Hi, can this method (LeeUm above) be used to remove other menu items, ie Newsletters?

I tried this:

 Object::addStaticVars('LeftAndMain', array(
'removed_menu_items' => array(
      'statistics','newsletters',
   )
)); 

but it didn't work...any ideas?
