Once you enable it, you should see a Reports section in the admin area, and that's where the link for Top Visitors will be. Have you enabled the statistics module?

I'd never heard of the pollfield module before. Drupal is full of so many goodies isn't it? :) I'll have to try that one out, thanks for sharing!! mary Hardy

I found a solution on the poll module. As you advised, I stop meddling with the default module. I looked around, and stumbled upon this great module called "pollfield". I recommend this module to anyone who are interested in modifying/adding new functionalities/editing the default poll module. Thank you again. Thank you so much for responding.

Yes you can edit the default modules, but it's not recommended to meddle with the modules and themes that come as part of the core, simply because it will be a nightmare when it comes time to update. I think a better option would be to make a copy of the module and rename it and place it in sites/all/modules, and then modify that. This way, any updates won't mess with your custom modifications. You will need to know some PHP for this. 2. I have a long list of tutorial requests and will add this to the queue. But I would also recommend that you search around and ask on the Drupal forums, you're likely to get some information there too. mary Hardy,

Thanks for the tutorials. It was really helpful. I have some questions: 1. Is it possible to edit/modify the default modules that come with Drupal? 2. And if its possible, can you instruct us on how to modify the "poll" module. I'm thinking on adding the "link" result beside the existing "vote" button. I was thinking that maybe the user would like to view the vote trend, the statistic etc. Hope you can respond to this. Thank you again for some time. Hey Mary. Thanks for the tutorials.

I would like to share with you some important things about the report data.. Referring domain is fine, but be careful about the reads and hits numbers because those ## are affected by spiders and bots visits so your numbers will have a huge difference with other tools like google analytics or yahoo. When you go online you will see a lot of guests but many of those will be bots. Thanks, Pedro Hello,
