Joomla Environment Stats

In order to better understand our install base and end user environments, a plugin has been created to send those stats back to a Joomla controlled central server. No worries though, no identifying data is captured at any point, and we only keep the data last sent to us.

Build Status

Travis-CI: Build Status Scrutinizer-CI: Scrutinizer Code Quality Code Coverage Build Status

Requirements

  • PHP 7.2+
  • PDO with MySQL support
  • MySQL
  • Composer
  • Apache with mod_rewrite enabled and configured to allow the .htaccess file to be read

Installation

  1. Clone this repo on your web server
  2. Create a database on your MySQL server
  3. Copy etc/config.dist.json to etc/config.json and fill in your database credentials
  4. Run the composer install command to install all dependencies
  5. Run the bin/stats install command to create the application's database

Additional Configuration

The DisplayStatisticsController optionally supports additional configuration values which affect the application's behavior, to include:

  • Raw Data Access - The API supports requesting the raw, unfiltered API data by sending a Joomla-Raw header with the API request. The value of this must match the stats.rawdata configuration key.

Additionally, the application behavior is affected by the following configuration settings:

  • Error Reporting - The errorReporting configuration key can be set to a valid bitmask to be passed into the error_reporting() function
  • Logging - The application's logging levels can be fine tuned by adjusting the log configuration keys:
    • log.level - The default logging level to use for all application loggers
    • log.application - The logging level to use specifically for the monolog.handler.application logger; defaults to the log.level value
    • log.database - The logging level to use specifically for the monolog.handler.database logger; defaults to the log.level value (Note: if database.debug is set to true then this level will ALWAYS correspond to the debug level)

Deployments

  • Joomla's Jenkins server will automatically push any commits to the master branch to the production server
    • TODO - Future iterations of this setup should require a passing Travis-CI build before deploying
  • Because of the use of custom delimiters in the database schema (which are not parsed correctly with PDO), database migrations are not automatically executed
  • If a change is pushed that includes updates to the database schema, then the merger needs to log into the server and run any migrations required; the application's database:migrate command will take care of this
    • php /path/to/application/bin/stats database:migrate
  • Don’t put any triggers inside the migrations, those should be added to the main etc/mysql.sql schema file then manually run on the database using your preferred database management tool
