[ANN] SiteMeter is now Sitealizer v.1.1 Web Stats plugin

The old ‘sitemeter’ plugin has been changed to Sitealizer v.1.1 Web
Stats plugin for Rails. Please update your bookmarks to point to
http://sitealizer.rubyforge.org

This change includes:

  • [FIX] General bug fixes
  • [NEW] Added 3 new rake tasks that allows you to update the plugin,
    uninstall it and upgrade from the old ‘sitemeter’
  • [NEW] Added a link to whois under Hosts so you can see the host’s
    location

– Installation –

On your Rails’ root directory, just type
script/plugin install http://opensvn.csie.org/sitealizer

and add the following line to your config/routes.rb:
map.connect ‘/sitealizer/:action’, :controller => ‘sitealizer’

– Upgrading from SiteMeter –

If you had previously installed ‘sitemeter’ you need to run the
following command for both production and development env after
installing Sitealizer, otherwise your stats will not be imported:
rake sitealizer:remove_sitemeter

You also need to change:

  • include SiteMeter TO Include Sitealizer
  • before_filter :use_site_meter TO before_filter :use_sitealizer
  • map.connect ‘/sitemeter/:action’, :controller => ‘sitemeter’ TO
    map.connect ‘/sitealizer/:action’, :controller => ‘sitealizer’

– Usage –

To track the visitors on your entire application, just edit your
ApplicationController(application.rb):

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include Sitealizer
before_filter :use_sitealizer
end

Or to track specific controllers:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
include Sitealizer
end

class MyController < ApplicationController
before_filter :use_sitealizer
end

– Viewing the stats –

To view your stats just add “/sitealizer” to your main url:
http://www.example.com/sitealizer

When running Edge, you might find the following line necessary in
sitealizer_controller.rb

prepend_view_path(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/sitealizer/lib/app/views”)

It goes in the class methods … just after the before_filter. Then
remove
the template_root= method.

Cool plugin, BTW.

Steve,

Thanks for the tip and the feedback! I’ll certainly make use of that.
This plugin hasn’t been tested with edge rails, just with the stable
releases.
