Download Counter Chart

Description

This plugin adds a widget to display download statistics based on the Download Counter
plugin on your site. The sidebar widget will show a highly configurable chart based on the
Google Chart API. Furthermore it offers a dashboard widget that summarizes your
downloads, to get information quick at a glance.

The plugin supports following chart types:

• Bar (horizontal)
• Pie
• Pie 3D

You can include a chart of your downloads on a page or in a post using the downloadcounterchart-shortcode.
Of course a download chart is includable in your theme. See extended documentation
for detailed explanations for that.

Usage

There are several ways to include a chart of your downloads on your site.

Page / Post (Shortcode)

[downloadcounterchart chart_type="pie" chart_width="490" chart_height="190" label_color="000000" label_size="11" sqlcondition="" bar_color="0066CC90" bar_height="-1" bg_color="FFFFFF00"]

Parameters:

• chart_type – Type of the chart. Valid values: bar_horizontal, pie or pie3d.
• chart_width – Width of the chart image in px. May be about the 2.5 times size of the height for a pie chart.
• chart_height – Width of the chart image in px.
• label_color – Hex color value for labels, optional with additional opacity value (e.g. 50% black = 00000050).
• label_size – Font size of the labels.
• sqlcondition – Optional SQL where statement, leave blank for all downloads.
• bar_height – Bar chart only. You can explicitly set the bar height, but it may result in a chart that does not include
  all data, if the chart height is not big enough. Recommend to set -1 for auto-sizing.
• bg_color – Background color. Hex color value, optional with additional opacity value (e.g. transparent = FFFFFF00)
