1 = Sitealizer Web Stats plugin for Rails
2 This plugin lets you track visitors, referrers, robots, search terms and more. And it shouldn’t influence your site’s performance because it only saves the basic visitor information (after every 10(default) visits) in a threaded process and all the data processing is done when viewing the stats.

11 Please refer to the LICENSE[link:files/LICENSE.html]
14 On your Rails' root directory, just type
16 script/plugin install http://opensvn.csie.org/sitealizer
18 and add the following line to your config/routes.rb:
20 map.connect '/sitealizer/:action', :controller => 'sitealizer'
22 == Upgrading from SiteMeter
23 If you had previously installed 'sitemeter' you need to run the following command after installing Sitealizer, otherwise your stats <b>will not be imported</b>:
25 rake sitealizer:remove_sitemeter
27 You also need to change:
29 * include SiteMeter TO Include Sitealizer
30 * before_filter :use_site_meter TO before_filter :use_sitealizer
31 * map.connect '/sitemeter/:action', :controller => 'sitemeter' TO map.connect '/sitealizer/:action', :controller => 'sitealizer'
34 There are four configuration options that can be changed under sitealizer/lib/config.yml:
35 <em>access_type</em>:: Accepts <em>private</em> or <em>public</em> as the value. <em>Private</em>: you have to enter the username and password below in order to view the stats. <em>Public</em>: Anyone can view your site's stats
36 <em>username</em>:: This username will be used to log in to your Sitealizer
37 <em>password</em>:: This password will be used to log in to your Sitealizer
38 <em>queue_size</em>:: The number of visitors in the queue before saving the stats to the DB. Default is 10. Minimum size shouldn't be under 5
41 To track the visitors on your entire application, just edit your ApplicationController(application.rb):
43 class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
45 before_filter :use_sitealizer
48 Or to track specific controllers:
50 class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
54 class MyController < ApplicationController
55 before_filter :use_sitealizer
59 To view your stats just add "/sitealizer" to your main url:
61 http://www.example.com/sitealizer
