The JoomlaStats API can be used by programmers to use the JoomlaStats as an engine to build your own applications.
From version com_joomlastats_v2.3.0 JoomlaStats share its API through 2 files:
- general.php
- simple.php
Both of them You will find in below directory:
.../joomla/administrator/components/com_joomlastats/api/
.
To include JoomlaStats API, for example in Your module, use below statement:
{//include JoomlaStats API
$PathToJoomlaStatsApi = dirname(__FILE__) .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. '..' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'administrator' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'components' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'com_joomlastats' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'api' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'api.include.php';
if (defined( '_JEXEC' )) //in joomla CMS v1.5.x all modules have own direcotory - path need to be a little longer
$PathToJoomlaStatsApi = dirname(__FILE__) .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. '..' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. '..' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'administrator' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'components' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'com_joomlastats' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'api' .DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. 'api.include.php';
if ( file_exists($PathToJoomlaStatsApi) ) {
require_once($PathToJoomlaStatsApi);
} else {
echo 'File with JoomlaStats API not found. Did You install JoomlaStats engine (eg.: com_joomlastats_v2.3.0.zip)?';
}
}
.
Each function in these files has comments, that explains the pruprose of the function, how to use it and describes the list of arguments.
