InLineStats

By James Battersby

Description

InLineStats is a combination of ASP scripts and Perl scripts to allow you to display on your own web pages your current Seti@Home stastics. InLineStats give you access to all of you major statistical information such as the number of units returned, you current rank etc. To be able to use InLineStats you must be able to run both ASP and Perl scripts on you web server, specifically your server must have Microsoft.XMLHTTP installed. If you are able to run Perl but not ASP, then try InLineStatsJS.asp

Version History

V1.1 - 13^th July 2002
- Updated to cope with Seti@Home URL change.

Installing

The download file contains three files:

mystats.asp - The ASP script section
setistats.pl - The Perl script section
example.asp - An example of how to use it

You must place these files in directories where your web server can execute them. It is common for the Perl file to be placed in the /cgi-bin/ directory. If you are not sure, you will need to speak to you web server administrator.

Having located the files, you MUST edit them. In the Perl script file you must replace YOUR-EMAIL-ADDRESS with your Email address that is registered with Seti@Home. In the ASP file (mystats.asp), you must replace YOUR-WEB-SITE with your web sites URL. You will also need to check that the Perl file location is correct.

Using InLineStats

To get your stats on your web page, you need to include mystats.asp like this:

This will cause the scripts to run. All of your stats will be placed in a number of variable for you to use as you like. These variables are:

Description	Variable Name
Total units returned	UnitsReturned
Current rank	Rank
Number of users at this rank	UsersAtThisRank
Done more work units than (%)	DoneMoreThanPercent
Total number of users	TotalUsers
Time last unit returned	LastReturned
Average CPU time	AvgUnitTime
Total CPU time	CPUTime

You can insert a variable at any point on your page after the #include of the ASP script. To do this, simply put <%=variable_name%> and this will be replaced by the actual value.

Finally, it is possible for the scripts to fail. This may be due to the Seti@Home web site being down. To prevent rubbish being displayed, you should check the value of CPUTime and if it's zero you should assume that it has failed. For example:


<html>
<head>
<title>My Stats</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- #include file="mystats.asp" -->
<%
if not CPUTime = 0 then
%>
<h2>My Current Stats</h2>
<table>
<tr><td>Units returned</td><td>:</td><td><%=UnitsReturned%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Rank</td><td>:</td><td><%=Rank%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Users at this rank</td><td>:</td><td><%=UsersAtThisRank%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Done more than</td><td>:</td><td><%=DoneMoreThanPercent%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Total users</td><td>:</td><td><%=TotalUsers%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Last unit returned</td><td>:</td><td><%=LastReturned%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Average CPU time</td><td>:</td><td><%=AvgUnitTime%></td></tr>
<tr><td>Total CPU time</td><td>:</td><td><%=CPUTime%></td></tr>
</table>
<hr>
<%
else
%>
<p>My Seti stats are currently not available.</p>
<%
end if
%>
</body>
</html>
