Proposed feature:
When user visits Piwik
- the controller fetches the Archive, if number of visits for the period is 0
– check a flag in option table, to see if for this website there was tracking data found in the logs
– select count() if first time querying
- if there is some data in earlier or later dates, display “there is no data in this report” normal behavior
- if there is no log in the piwik DB, have a Notice/Help message displayed at the top in the In-app message, on the left of “About Piwik 1.2”
– the message would explain there is no log found for this website, maybe a problem with the tracking code? Link to FAQ.

Requires: in-app messaging #1358

Increasingly important where piwik is a hosted by 3rd parties providing support, eg Sourceforge hosted apps (where I noticed some tickets being opened for piwik).

this could also simply be a notice message "There is no data for this day. More information" with a link to the FAQ: http://piwik.org/faq/troubleshooting/#faq_58

I had the same 'problem' and I think the notice matt proposed is the best thing for a quick (first?) solution. I just didn't realize I was on the wrong day, so the hint 'for this day' is really good.

The message should link to the Javascript code for the website!

The inline help / link should only be displayed if the number of visits for the period is zero.

What do you think about this feature?

There's potential to easily improve the "default state - no visit view".
What would you propose?

Again a feedback today: I contact you for the first time, because yesterday and today I have 0 visitors shown on Piwik, which has never been. Did you stop collecting data anymore? Is this for everyone or just me? Any reason?
