SETI@Home WordPress Plugin

March 21, 2007 Plugins

SETI Stats is a WordPress plugin that displays your current SETI@Home Stats.  This was put together in a short amount of time, so it’s a little light on the features.  Currently, the plugin will display the total credit and average credit values, as well as your team name (if applicable).

In the future I hope to add the number of units completed and number of computers in use.

You can download SETI Stats here.

Requirements:

SETI Stats has been tested on WordPress 2.0.4, 2.0.5, 2.0.7 and 2.1.

Installation:

  • upload the contents of the zip file to your “wp-content/plugins” directory (be sure to write them to the seti-stats directory)
  • go to the “Plugins” main menu and find “SETI Stats Display”, then click “Activate”
  • go to the “Options / SETI Options” menu and enter your account id, and set the number of hours between stat refreshes

Using:

  • modify the theme file where you wish to display your SETI stats (usually sidebar.php) and type in the following line:

<php get_seti_stats(); ?>

Uninstallation:

  • go to the “Plugins” main menu and find “SETI Stats Display”, then click “Deactivate”
  • delete the files from your “wp-content/plugins” directory

Bug Reports:

As always with initial releases, I’m sure there will be one or two things that I forgot to check.  If you happen to find a bug, please let me know.

Enjoy!

    Any chance of turning this into a widget?

    Jason,
    Your plugin was excellent work. Caching was a nice touch. I didn’t like the userw.php being used as the data source. It’s easier to parse but doesn’t tell the whole story.

    Thanks for keeping this plugin around. It’s the only one I’ve been able to find for Wordpress so far.
