[Cartoweb-users] StatsReports plugins : error in javascript

[Oliver Christen]

Hi Bruno

I would advice you to NOT use database storage for accounting, because there 
is at the moment no simple way to use the logs in db directly with the 
statsReport plugin (direct db usage was simply not implemented as nobody 
paid for it)
you certainly can use it but you will need to make your own "DB to text 
file" export script to be able to use the logs

the logs contain the project info, so once the logs are imported using the 
java's commands explained in the documentation and the reports configured 
and initiated (also using the java's commands explained in the 
documentation ), the list of projects are listed as a dropdown option in the 
report visualisation interface in cartoweb.

if you only want to allow the user to see the stats for one projects, you 
can certainly do so by extending a bit the way the projects dropdown option 
is populated, using the auth plugin.

but you can also differenciate the logs before import and use a different 
table namespace (using --tableName when importing) , but then you will need 
to set up as many cartoweb project as you have of different logs to 
visualize, as the database access dsn will be different (the statsReport 
only accept one dsn at the moment, but then you can always modify the plugin 
to suit your needs). in my opinion this would be more work than the first 
option.

I hope i wasnt too confusing

Oliver
