Why can one admin access/edit a Zine but another admin can't see it?
posted on Apr 5, 2012
Each Zine can have it's own 'owner' so that no other admins can edit it. If you want all admins to see/edit your website zines, make sure it doesn't have an 'owner' set. To do this,
- click on the Zine icon
- click on the zine and then configure it
- you'll see an Owner field. Make sure this is blank.
- submit your change
Why isn't my News items showing on my site?
posted on Apr 5, 2012
When posting items to the Zine Module, you sometimes need to republish your site before your new item will be posted on your website.
If the zines shows up on a dynamic page, your new posts will automatically appear. If the zine is on a static page (ie., News that is displayed on the home page), it won't appear until you've republished the site.
How do I know a static page from a dynamic page? You can tell static page from dynamic page by the URL. Static pages are friendly page names with .html; dynamic pages have the cgi code in them.

What is the difference between Webalizer and Google Analytics?
posted on Jan 31, 2012
Here is a list of features and differences for each:
Google Analytics
Google Analytics
- Provides much more detailed analysis, but for web pages only
- Gives browsing data about your website and website visitors to Google who then use it for their own purposes.
- Only works on web pages, not documents, graphics, movies, etc.
- Only works for browsers that support javascript. It does not work for:
- bots,
- browsers with javascript disabled for enhanced security,
- browsers which do not support javascript (including many less-capable cellphones), and
- anyone who has opted-out of GA by installing Google's Browser Opt-out Add-on.
- Counts all traffic, including bots. The only exceptions are traffic originating from the Exware office (and optionally if configured, the client's office).
- Not only tracks web pages, but also downloads, graphics, movies etc...
