CGI Program: showstats

Description

The showstats script will display a full or partial Web Usage Report. There are three report types: Directory Tree, Domain, and Redirect. Partial reports show information about a particular web directory. These reports include Columbia departments and student groups, but not public_html directories.

The getstats program is used to create these reports each week.

The first three examples shown below use hardcoded values, and the last example allows the user to fill in the directory name and select the other parameters. Use the View Source command to see how these examples are setup.

Example

See the Columbia University Web Usage Reports page to see how a web form can be created for showstats.
