Perhaps have the stats script automatically upload the stats to the web page?
This way one could just set a crontab to run the script and not worry about it
after setting their id.

After registering I'm given an URL to download the admin script, but clicking on
it gives this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /~babca/client.sh was not found on this server.
Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.50 (Mandrakelinux/7mdk) mod_ssl/2.0.50
OpenSSL/0.9.7d PHP/4.3.8 Server at dostavnik.web Port 80

If I then login, the smsc.sh script can be downloaded fine.

Why does the script need root access?

$ sh smsc.sh
Generating unique stats id ...

I cannot get back to the page to upload my stats file without first logging out
and then logging back in (there is no clickable link for it).

Thanks for comments.

We have just released new version 0.02 of smglstats.sh.
Please download it and try it.

We added support for automatically upload (smglstats.sh curl).
Root access was eliminated (we used "scribe index" and it needed root access).

I hope after Xmas we change design of web pages.

I got an error on page after after rthe registration form. It was in the middle
of the page and I didn't notice it until I had clicked on something else grrr.
So I can't give any details :(

(id 0013)

For the password prompt, you may want to use read -s, so it doesn't echo to the
terminal.

Get a better date field.... sheesh YYYY-MM-DD ugghhh ugly....
try something along the lines DD.MM.YYYY

If one refreshes the a user's page (the page you get to after clicking on the
button that has the user's id in it) it goes to ID 0000 and contains no information.

Also none of the information is listed other than the date it was uploaded.
From page:
Updating during 24 hours.
Last update: 	Apr 07 2005 21:32:37

Good concept, needs a bit of refinement, but I like where it's going :)

Thank you for your comments.

Information about other users and other computer you can see only if they
checked it on edit pages (http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/edit.php).
Only some information all users must show to all(name, surname, country, update,..).

I know about problem on page http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/info.php, and i'
am working on removig this problem. The problem happend through the picture.... :-(

Ummm...your page is using <blink> for the "About" link...

That's the ISO standard for dates, and I like it. :)

I get this error when trying to download smglstats.sh 0.0.3 (when I'm logged in):
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul
Line Number 85, Column 3:

And a weird "symbol":
PK(HF)(TF)

On the http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/users.php page, it should say "Updated"
instead of "Updating", I think.

You should use https for the login page.

This is a problem with my firefox, not your site, sorry.

Fixed (only deleted <blink></blink>). 
Jindro, this blink should stop after user click on it.

On the grimoire table: http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/grimoire.php

Several grimoires are listed twice (e.g. sandalle, z-rejected, and games).

Added new version of smglstats.sh http://83.240.17.229/~babca/smglstats.sh,
please update to 0.04.
Eric, thanks for PATH info, now we know why some users have been without spells. :-)

How to guarantee all users use new version?
It could be easy if it was part of grimoire (smgl section). May I create spell
"smglstats"?
Where can smglstats store info? Now it use ~/.smglstats (home directory of
user). Can it go to /etc/sorcery/smglstats? It contains password, so it should
have permission 0400. Should smglstats go to /usr/sbin or to /usr/bin? Can
smglstats be run only by root or by any user (problems with permission)? I am
for only root.

Is name smglstats OK or we are supposed to rename it?  

A spell would be fine (it'd go in the smgl section). As for a name, I'd prefere
something in the vein of sourcemage-stats, but smgl-stats would be fine as well
(for the spell name). The script name should probably match the spell name.

As for storing the stats I say use ~/.smglstats directory to store all of the
information (including the cache file. Currently the cache file uses the current
directory that smglstats.sh is run in, which is incorrect, but I haven't tried
0.4 :)).

The script should install to /usr/bin (since any user should be able to run it,
not just admins, IMO), but if others disagree then /usr/sbin is fine. The
~/.smglstats directory should be created with 0400 permissions, and possibly
always set to that when the script is run (IMO) along with all of the files the
script creates/uses.

Thanks for working on this. :)

One minor nit, if someone has no machines the page says "He has not 
computers." I think "not" should be "no".

When I scroll on the front page the menu stays where it is (which is good), but
the title (logo + "Source Mage Stats") scrolls. That should also be anchored, IMO.

On the country chart graph I noticed that Germany is listed twice (one 6.2% the
other 2%). There's also United States (31.2%) and a "Unite" (4.1%). Is that
"Unite" also supposed to be "United States"?

The pie chart is unreadable:
the black on black text is almost impossible to read
the colors for the pie chart even though there are the official smgl colors
aren't nice to look at as well(read they burn my eyes) maybe you could change
them to some alternate color maybe a green-red combo?

Much better... though some stuff is still cut short... and I didn't mind having
the smaller percentages shown as well...
Would be nice if there was a color legend on the side with a [color] - country
And drop the names from the pie chart completly

Another stat that might be interesting is kernel version.

Adding average casting times would be nice. We do have it in the activity log.
Also another suggestions for the app... make use of a subdir either .smgl or
.sourcemage I will be using one of those for quill as well. That way we can have
a uniform place to store the data files...

Eric, do you think this:
http://83.240.17.229/~babca/users/statistic.php?sort=num+DESC&select=linux ?

(In reply to comment #29)
> Eric, do you think this:

No, I mean from `uname -r` so that we know what kernel they're actually using,
not which one they may have installed from a spell (if they even use a spell).

I would prefer .sourcemage myself. ;)

Note it seems that some of my boxen get doubled... atm it's the one called pi...
can you figure out what's happening...

On http://ledger.sourcemage.org/users/edit.php, the text "Last time you was
here:" should be "Last time you were here:"

On http://ledger.sourcemage.org/users/table_users.php, the first two tables are
aligned center and the rest of the tables seem to be tabbed to the right.

Sorry; you select emtpy file or bigger than 200k !!!

This should IMHO be:

Sorry, you have selected an empty file or the file exceeds(s?) the maximum size of 200k.

Btw any progress with using a ~/.sourcemage dir to store all the config data...

And how about that average casting times... the data is there in the activity log...

You might want to add jabber in as well if you've added icq

It would be nice to be able to sort the users page
(http://ledger.sourcemage.org/users/users.php) by PC count.

updated patch for lvm in mountall.sh

I have quite a few networked machines, but usually mount my server's /home to
/home.net on the clients. However, at work I mount this to /home on the clients
and I recently tried using smglstats.sh on these machines.

Problem:
They look for an existing ~/.smglstats, and if found, assume that these stats
are for the current machine.

Solution:
Make ~/.smglstats a directory that contains hostname-based files
(SMGL_STATS=~/.smglstats/$HOSTNAME) and set SMGL_STATS to
~/.smglstats/$HOSTNAME. This update also 'migrates' the 'old' ~/.smglstats to
the 'new' format by copying ~/.smglstats to ~/.smglstats/$HOSTNAME (for the
first machine to run the script with the shared file, which may or may not be
the correct machine). I also upped the version to 0.05

the spell opencv

Thanks to Andrew Levstick for pointing out that in Comment #31 we had agreed to
use ~/.sourcemage/ for SMGL packages. So I've updated the script to use
~/.sourcemage/smglstats/$HOSTNAME, create ~/.sourcemage/smglstats, and move the
old ~/.smglstats to ~/.sourcemage/smglstats/$HOSTNAME.

For reference the two boxes running this script are isp13 and isp38.

The colour for Canada on the graph is the same as the bg colour.

--

Can you fix this(I'm getting it with the new smgl-ledger spell)
Please, update information about this computer by new program
smglstat.sh version 0.04.

--

Can you add a filter for the grimoires being scanned?
It's not much use to include stuff from personal (local) grimoires.

And besides, as free time is limited, we shouldn't wet peoples appetite with
spells which may never see the light of day ;)

--

guys, i can't change identification fields and their show flags. is it a bug?

--

Sorry, it is probably a bug [Bug 9407].
No time now. :-(


--

ok i'll wait... ;)

--

I've got the old duplication bug again... this time with my box named ksi... I
have suddenly 6 boxes where I should only have 4

Still got one ksi to many... :(

Shall we close this bug and open new bugs for each problem as it comes up?

Would be good, but the website part needs a category in the bt.

Bug: Slovenia is listed twice, two counts.

Yea, I agree with you Eric.
Just need new category in bugzilla.

I run:
lynxlynx sorcery # smgl-ledger curl
Gathering stats ...

Trying to upload the file "/root/.sourcemage/smgl-ledger/
smglstats_7d7afcc28502a33de9f0f8f7d07622a2" automatically.
Wait please ...

The file has been uploaded.

However, my stats don't get updated. :|

guys, it's me again ;) Uzbekistan had gone!? what happened? 

Hi !
I can't upload anything ...

'smgl-ledger curl' doesn't output any error, but I still have 0 computer in the
website (id : 0101)

If I login to the website (so my login/password are valid btw), I upload the
file manually, and obtains a red message : "Your file uploaded successfully!"
but still on the bottom of the page "You didn't insert any computer."

And I tried to upload a screenshot, I get no error but it doesn't appear in the
users list on my line ...

I'll attach my stat file for checking.

Stat file for checking

Yep, exactly the same problem as mine.

:-)
thanks for stats file
we got it, too long hostname (for our database)
we will fix it in database this night (next 5 hours)
so in 6 hours you can try it

Ok, it works (both screenshot and stat file).
Thanks !

i found out what my problem was. I changed my hostname, but the new profile 
didn't get my client info. Once I put those in, it worked for me again, but 
because it's a different hostmask it is identified as a second computer.
Removed it from the webterface. :D

Add UTF-8 encoding to the page...

Is any of this stuff still relevant to ledger? Lace?

Ledger will be rewritten, closing this bug.
