Hello everybody,

Well i’m new to Piwik and also to PHP, i’m developping a custom plugin that adds some new columns to the Log_Visit table where more visitor’s data will be stored.

I need a brief and high level description of the ArchiveProcessing_Day.compute function. So that i could understand the mechanisms behind the Archiving process.

If this is not going to take you more than 5 minutes, then please give me a hand.

Thanks in advance.
