The primary goal of User stats is to provide commonly requested user statistics
|
18
|
for themers. These are:
|
19
|
|
20
|
- days registered;
|
21
|
- join date;
|
22
|
- days since last login;
|
23
|
- days since last post;
|
24
|
- post count;
|
25
|
- login count;
|
26
|
- user online/offline;
|
27
|
- IP address;
|
28
|
|
29
|
The module has also been improved to integrate with the Rules (http://drupal.org/project/rules)
|
30
|
and Views (http://drupal.org/project/views) modules. Finally, it also provides
|
31
|
IP address to assist with catching spammers on community sites.
|
32

|

INSTALLATION
|
35
|
------------
|
36
|
|
37
|
User stats is installed in the same way as most other Drupal modules.
|
38
|
Here are the instructions for anyone unfamiliar with the process:
|
39
|
|
40
|
1. Copy this user_stats/ directory to your sites/SITENAME/modules directory.
|
41
|
|
42
|
2. Back in your Web browser, navigate to Administer -> Site building -> Modules
|
43
|
then enable the User Stats module.
|
44
|
|
45
|
|
46
|
CONFIGURATION
|
47
|
-------------
|
48
|
|
49
|
The configuration page for User Stats can be found by browsing to
|
50
|
Administer -> Site configuration -> User Stats settings
|
51
|
|
52
|
If IP address tracking is enabled (and Views is installed),
|
53
|
'IP address tracking' will appear under the Administer -> Reports section.
|
54
|
|
55
|
Integration with Rules and Views happens automatically, see these modules'
|
56
|
configuration pages for functionality provided by User Stats.

ACCESSING STATISTICS FROM A THEME
|
60
|
---------------------------------
|
61
|
|
62
|
Some knowledge of theme authoring is needed for this task. For more information
|
63
|
on theme authoring, see: http://drupal.org/theme-guide/6 Alternatively the
|
64
|
Advanced Forum (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_forum) module assists with
|
65
|
this and provides lots of helpful documentation.
|
66
|
|
67
|
User Stats are accessed from a theme using the user_stats_get_stats() function.
|
68
|
For example:
|
69
|
|
70
|
<p>Post count: <?php print user_stats_get_stats('post_count', $node->uid); ?></p>
|
71
|
|
72
|
Placed in node-forum.tpl.php would print the user's post count. The first argument
|
73
|
is a string indicating which statistic should be retrieved, the second is an
|
74
|
integer user id who's statistics should be retrieved. Following is a list of the
|
75
|
statistics it is possible to retrieve:
|
76
|
|
77
|
- ip_address -- IP Address of the user that posted the node;
|
78
|
|
79
|
- join_date -- time stamp representing when the user joined;
|
80
|
|
81
|
- login_count -- number of times the user has logged-in;
|
82
|
|
83
|
- login_days -- number of days since the user was last logged-in to the site;
|
84
|
|
85
|
- post_count -- number of nodes and comments created by the user (the type of
|
86
|
posts to count is configurable in the User stats settings page);
|
87
|
|
88
|
- post_days -- number of days since the user last posted;
|
89
|
|
90
|
- reg_days -- number of days since the user registered on the site;
|
91
|
|
92
|
- online -- whether the user is online (basically whether they have done
|
93
|
anything in the last 15 minutes);
|
94
|
|
95
|
