µMint Plugin

Now 2.7 Compatible!

µMint is a slim plugin to integrate statistics from Shaun Inman’s Mint statistics package into WordPress*.

In addition to the WordPress plug in, µMint includes two different mechanisms for creating an API for Mint. µMint is designed to work with both the Exposé API, by Adam Livesley as well as the included API, µAPI for Mint. Furthermore, there is a development version of a connector whcih allows WordPress to directly query Mint, when the two share a database.

• µMint does require a valid Mint installation to function.

Thanks to corouke for sorting out several annoying bugs.

Notes

• As of this release, the local integration is not currently shipping with the plugin. I had several instances of mass data corruption on the testbed, and don’t want to ship this integration until I am comfortable with the data integrity. The theory is that in an installation where WordPress and Mint both share a database, WordPress will simply query the Mint datatables directly without needing the API

• You cannot have both the µAPI and the Exposé API installed at the same time.

• Stats are only fetched every 10 minutes and cached. If you need a different value, you can edit the $MICROMINT_INTERVAL value at the top of microMint.php. This needs to be something which can be fed into php strtotime function.

• If you want to update the stats right now, or just want to see some debugging information, append &debug to the end of the µMint configuration page. This will both print debug information as well as perform and immediate update

• If you absolutely have to change the widgets, edit microMint.widget.php (sidebar) and mircoMint.dashboard.php

• The new dashboard design is currently 2.7+ only. Pre 2.7 still uses the old design.

Known Issues

• Please post any questions or bugs on the [Version Installation Page] (http://compu.terlicio.us/code/plugins/mint/micro-mint-installation/). Feature requests and comments of a more general nature should go on the [µAudio Home Page] (http://compu.terlicio.us/code/plugins/mint/).

• When used with the Exsposé API, error information is not that imaginative.

• API keys using non-alphanumeric characters don’t work
