[WEB] - online users dial

[Mutiegenesis]

A cool widget thingy for your community website.  Displays online users in a dial gauge (via google charts api).  no mysql needed! See the shiny in action:

Here's the DIY:

 

create a template file called  dial.template.playersNow

 

containing this:

 

<!-- start of ./dial.template.playersNow -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.gstatic.com/charts/loader.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    google.charts.load('current', {'packages':['gauge']});
      google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(drawChart);
      function drawChart() {
        var data = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([
          ['Label', 'Value'],
          ['', ###PLAYERS###]
        ]);
        var options = {  
	  height:64 , width:64 ,        
          min:0, max: ###MAX###,
          greenFrom:0, greenTo: ###GRN###,
          yellowFrom:###GRN###, yellowTo: ###YLW###,
          redFrom: ###YLW###, redTo: ###MAX###,
          majorTicks: 2, minorTicks: 1
        };
        var chart = new google.visualization.Gauge(document.getElementById('chart_div'));
        chart.draw(data, options);
      }
</script>
<div id="chart_div"></div>
<!-- end of ./dial.template.playersNow -->

 

 

 

create a script called userDial.sh with this (changing values and paths to suit your use case):

 

#!/bin/bash
toGRN=9
toYLW=12
playersMAX=16
htmlPath='/var/www/html/FreeRealms'
tmpPath='.'
playersNOW=$(netstat -aN | grep -i '27000'| grep -i ' ip-'|wc -l)
cat ${tmpPath}/dial.template.playersNow | sed -e 's/###PLAYERS###/'${playersNOW}'/g;s/###MAX###/'${playersMAX}'/g;s/###GRN###/'${toGRN}'/g;s/###YLW###/'${toYLW}'/g;' > ${tmpPath}/online.dial.html.tmp
cat ${tmpPath}/online.dial.html.tmp > ${htmlPath}/online.dial.html

 

set perms so you can run it:

 

chmod +x ./userDial.sh

 

then run it (twice the first time):

 

./userDial.sh

 

add to cron at whatever intervals blows your dress up.  I'm happy with 1min.

 

enjoy

The actual command in your playerNow var might be different.  It works for my steam-networking=false server, running in AWS.

 

Now if you like that little doodad, check out the in-game chat feed I've got running, my online maps, or my still-a-bit-buggy "Whos Online" thingamabob.  Those were/are a bit more complex to implement.

 

Coming soon to the Free Realms will be a "New Ships Register" widgetything which displays the previous (configurable whenever's [hour/day/centon/etc]) ship builds.

I checked out your page and I am very jealous, it looks great.  This is just a small server for me and some friends but I want to have a page so people can check status and such. 

 

By the way there seems to be a typo, the shell script doesn't have the substitution for playersMAX.  I added it in and it works great.  Thanks again!

 

e: actually never mind, it renders now but the netstat command isn't working, but I'll dive into that.  Ubuntu on AWS here so it shouldn't be too hard.

Hi! And could you write a little more detail exactly how to install this widget on your website/forum? Thank you. Sorry for my English. ))

The code itself is not meant to be included, only the output from the script.  Here's how to use it:

 

1) gain access to the shell (bash pref'd for me) on your linux host.

2) perform the instructions above, adjusting paths and values to suit your use case.

3) run the script to generate HTML which can be included in a webpage (add to cron if desired).

4) embed the output html fragment in your webpage via an html include, php include, etc)

5) profit?
