Release 2.1 - Released

System:


  • A new way of measuring activity has been introduced into MySite, this is known as Metrics.
  • Go into the Admin Controls and select Metrics, from there you can create new metrics or administrate them.
  • When creating a new Metric you choose what PageLoad will trigger the Metric and what the Multiplier is.
  • Note: Currently the only Metrics collected are from page loads, future Metric trigger types will be added in the future.
  • When a Metric has been triggered, it adds one to the quantity, sets when it was last updated, and adds the current multiplier to the current value.
  • When you use the Administrate Metrics panel you'll see a list of all your existing Metrics. They will have an ID, an Event Type (that is currently locked to Page Load), Trigger, Quantity, Last Updated, Multiplier, and Value.
  • Quantity, Multiplier, and Value can be manually edited by an admin.
  • Quantity is a real number to identify the number of occurrences of when the trigger happens.
  • Multiplier is added to the Value each time the trigger happens. This means if the multiplier changes part way through the use of the Metric the existing Value of the Metric doesn't change.
  • To embed a Metric into a page simply use the metric=# where # is the ID of the Metric. Then inside the metric tag use %quantity%, %value%, %lastupdate%, and %multiplier% to use the values from the Metric with the ID you specified.
  • Changed the data validation on the post contents so that it's no longer screwing up UTF8 characters.
