## Description

[AWStats](http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) is a free log file analysis
 tool for
web servers. It consists of a collection of Perl scripts that analyse Apache-style
access logs and produce graphical web pages with extended information about the 
visits.

#### Browser Data Collection

AWStats can collect information about the browser capabilities and screen size,

but that requires embedding a `<script>` HTML tag in all the pages. This calls a
JavaScript function contained in the file `awstats_misc_tracker.js` that will report
the extra data to the web server in a specific HTTP GET request. An extended explanation
is provided in the [AWStats FAQ](http://awstats.sourceforge.net/docs/awstats_faq.html#SCREENSIZE)

This plugin simplifies the job of adding the required `<script>` tag and provides

the latest stable version of the `awstats_misc_tracker.js` file, both in extended
and “minified” version using the [Yahoo YUI Compressor](http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/).

#### Placing the Script

To speed-up the page rendering, the `<script>` tag is best placed at the bottom

of the page. This is the preferred option for WordPress themes that have a footer.
If the theme doesn’t have a footer, the tag is added to the page header. This behaviour
can be controlled using the plugin’s settings page. This has been borrowed from 
the [Google Analyticator](http://cavemonkey50.com/code/google-analyticator) plugin
by Ronald Heft Jr.

#### No Logging for Administrators

The plugin also allows administrators to remove themselves and their visits from

the AWStats log. There is a field in the settings page where we can enter the user
level (a number from 0 to 10) above which the plugin will omit the `<script>` tag.

 * Most typical configuration, adding the `<script>` tag at the page footer and 
   disabling the AWStats logging for blog admins (level 8 or greater).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `awstats-script` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Configure and enable the plugin in the ‘AWStats Script’ Options page

This plugin happily loads the AWstats javascript in the page footer.
