SHDetect is an application statistics tracker. It can be used to collect data from your users, such as application version, build number, operating system and the locale of the user’s machine. The script was written as a simple alternative to the Sparkle statistics script.

Current Version: 1.0beta “CowardlyCat”

Installation:

  1. Create a new database using your web hosts control panel (for instructions on how to do this please contact your web host)
  2. Download and unzip SHDetect.zip
  3. Upload the SHTracker folder to your server via FTP or your hosts control panel
  4. Open up http://yoursite.com/SHDetect/install.php in your browser and enter your database and user details
  5. Delete install.php from your server
  6. Make config.php unwritable (optional)
  7. Login to the admin panel using the username and password you set during the install
  8. Done

Usage:

The script is called like this: /detect.php?version=VERSION&build=BUILD&os=OS&locale=LOCALE

The information is passed via variables, for example:

version="2.0" build="1" os="10.7.2" locale="en_gb"

/detect.php?version=2.0&build=1&os=10.7.2&locale=en_gb

The script would add the following values to the database:

2.0 1 10.7.2 en_gb

If a configuration already exists, the seen will count will be updated rather than duplicating the entry

The URL could be called using curl, wget or any other method

Administration:

Open up SHDetect/admin to view your statistics

Removal:

To remove SHDetect, simply delete the SHDetect folder from your server and drop the “Data” table from your database
