NAME

Konstrukt::Plugin::browserstats - Browser statistics plugin

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

        <!-- add browser request to the db -->
        <& browserstats / &>

or

        <!-- display the overall top browsers -->
        <& browserstats show="all" / &>

or

        <!-- display the top browsers grouped by year -->
        <!-- month and day will also work, if the data is stored in such a fine granularity -->
        <!-- the display aggregation should not be finer than the setting browserstats/aggregate -->
        <& browserstats show="year" / &>
        

Result:

A table displaying the statistics, if the attribute show is set. Nothing otherwise.

DESCRIPTION

Creates statistics about the browsers used to access your homepage.

You may simply integrate it by putting the tag into your page. See </SYNOPSIS> for details.

        #backend
        browserstats/backend         DBI

See the documentation of the backend modules (e.g. "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::Plugin::browserstats::DBI) for their configuration.
