Scryer is a page-view counter for your Django site, I wrote it after getting fed up with webalizer, and noticing how utterly cool Mint is. It uses XMLHttpRequest to call back for every page-view; browsers without javascript are not currently supported, although it should be pretty simple to implement.

It's still very pre-alpha, mostly because it has none of the cool display-features of Mint. For now there are views for (the links are to scrapes of the views):

• referrers
• top pages
• sessions (aka visits)
• live pages (aka last 10 page-views)

Installing

Get the source

I have not yet bothered with packaging scryer, so if you want to play, you have to get the source from the github.

Install the application

Insert into

• INSTALLED_APPS:

  "ibofobi.apps.scryer"
  

• urls/main:

  (r'^scryer/', include('ibofobi.apps.scryer.urls.public')),
  

• urls/admin:

  (r'^scryer/generated/', include('ibofobi.apps.scryer.urls.admin')),
  

And run:

django-admin.py install scryer

Copy src/ibofobi/apps/scryer/media/scryer/pageview.js into your media-directory and include it (<script type='text/javascript' src='.../pageview.js'></script>) in the top of all the pages you want to count page-views for.

Upgrading from fresh

The models changed from fresh to scryer, if you want your old page-views still follow UpgradeFreshToScryer.

Rejoice

Look at /scryer/generated/referrers/ on your admin-site. Rejoice! :)
