how do the stats work?

How does the statistics recording work when you visit the site?

1) Does it write to sitebuilder or to the published site?
2) Does it use XML or access/sql database to record the visit?
3) When in the admin panel, does it query the published site DB to get the visits or use the sitebuilder DB ?

thanks

Hello,

1. Published site.
2. It uses Access database.
3. It queries published site.

That makes sense then

So when I moved a site for a few days because the server was down, it was recording the clicks in the new location.

when the server was back, i should have copied the access DB from the temporary location to the fixed server.

Would anything else have been effected?
does anything else link to the published site from the sitebuilder admin screens like the stats?

Yes, if you want to keep track of site clicks in temporary location - you need to copy access database on the new place. However you need to understand that this action can ovveride new changes.

From admin panel you can also manage site users (Registration module).
