Chapter 1. What is pisg?
pisg is an IRC statistics generator. It takes IRC logfiles and turns them into
nice looking stats.
In general, you would do something like this to get it running:
* Enable logging in an IRC bot, or in your IRC client. The log will be
outputted into a file.
* You set up pisg, you define the channel name, and the path to the logfile
you created.
* You run pisg, pisg runs the log through and create statistics, it then
creates an HTML page which you can upload to a server.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.1. What are the requirements to run pisg?
* An IRC client or bot where pisg supports the output logfile.
* Any operating system which Perl runs on, this includes popular OS'es such
as Linux, FreeBSD, Windows and Mac. You will have a hard time finding an OS
where Perl isn't supported. For Windows this means that you need to
download Active State Perl (ASPN Perl).
* Optional - a system to host the statistics page 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
* Optional - a system to log the channel, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 2. Setting up pisg for the first time
Most configuration happens through the pisg.cfg file, the file format is made
to be easy to read, and easy to extend for further use. It uses an XML-like
format, with elements and attributes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. Setting up a channel
An element called channel is made for defining channels, a quick example of a
channel is this:
Logfile = "channel.log"
Format = "mIRC"
Maintainer = "John"
OutputFile = "mychan.html"
The above will define a channel called #channel, the logfile pisg will look for
is called channel.log and the format of the logfile will be mIRC. The
maintainer (which will be stated on the output page) is John.
That is basically it! Now, there are a lot more options that you can use for
your channels, for this please refer to the reference documentation.
Also be-aware of the fact that pisg uses various images to show the
time-related bars. These images are placed in the gfx/ folder and should be
putted into the same directory as your outputted HTML file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. Specifying user options
User options are set with a simple XML-like syntax in the form:
Remember, the nick is always required. For example to add aliases to a nick,
then you could do this:
The asterix (*) means that it will match all nicks starting with 'Joe^'. So it
will add all Joe^'s to 'Joe' in the stats. Another thing you can do is to add a
picture to a user:
If you have a larger picture of the user as well, you can make the picture on
the stats page link to it:
You can also set a user's sex:
Also you can add links to URLs and e-mails:
or
The last thing you can do is to ignore nicks (for example bots):
You don't have to do all this in many lines, you could just as easily do:
(Here the aliases are a space separated list of nicks, that also works! But *
as a wildcard is smarter, although it is slower).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. Setting global options
Many times, it will be useful to set up global options, global options are set
like this:
Any global option will override anything defined within channel elements (see
Section 2.1)
For example, to change the background color of the stats page, you could do:
You can set many options in a single set:
The above will set the language on the statistics page to DE (Deutch, German)
and set the timeoffset to +1. All options available are mentioned in the
reference documentation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4. Ignoring links
It's possible to ignore links in the "Most referenced URLs" section:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.5. Including common settings for various channels
If you have, for example, more than one channel, where the users are the same,
or you don't want to maintain more than one user file, you can use the
"include" setting in the main config file:
This will include the file /home/vetinari/pisg/users.cfg in the config at the
place where the include statement is set.
Note, that you can NOT include a file from an included file!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.6. Changing the layout of your stats page
The standard layout and colors in the outputted HTML page are made to be
somewhat clean and neutral. But you have the chance to change the layout
yourself.
There are a few predefined colorschemes for you to use, use the ColorScheme
option when using them. The available colorschemes are: 'default',
'darkgalaxy', 'ocean', 'darkred'.
When changing it, you need a fair knowledge of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
CSS is what most of the web uses today to define styles and layout on HTML
pages.
With the pisg distribution, look in the layout directory. In it resides
default.css which is the file being included onto the HTML page. Open it in a
text editor like vi or notepad. Then change it until you're happy with it. Be
aware that you might want to look at the hicell and hicell2 options through
pisg.cfg for changing the last two colors.
If you have created a nice stylesheet which other can take advantage of, you
are encouraged to send it to the pisg mailing list so that it can be
distributed with the next version of pisg.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.7. Running pisg
When everything is set up in the pisg configuration file (pisg.cfg), then you
simply run pisg on the command-line.
Using Linux, BSD or another UNIX-like system:
user@host:pisg-0.37$ ./pisg
Using Windows:
c:\perl\bin> perl c:\pisg\pisg
Or alternatively:
c:\pisg> perl pisg
The program will run and parse the logfiles you specified in the configuration
file.
If you are using Linux and want run pisg automatically several times a day,
then see the crontab file in the scripts/ directory.
For Windows, see the windows-upload-ftp.txt file with the pisg distribution,
this file is also placed in the scripts/ directory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.8. Obtaining help and reporting bugs
If your problem could not be resolved through here, then you should send an
e-mail to the pisg mailing list. You can subscribe and see more info at http://
lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pisg-general.
If you believe that you have found a bug, you should use the Sourceforge bug
tracking system.
