Frequently Asked Questions
==========================
Not really FAQ, but more like Frequently Whined Things:
"I wanted this <insert PISG feature here> and you said no! You suck!"
No. I use my own jurisdiction whether I'll add some feature or not.
FISG was created for my own purposes, so if I don't like something,
then it most likely will not be in FISG. If that does not work for
you, use PISG. Period.
The real FAQ
------------
Q: Would you add support for 'Most used words' and/or
'Most referenced nick'?
A: No.
>--
Q: What about 'Most referenced URLs'?
A: Possibly, but this is not high on my TODO-list.
>--
Q: What do those silly faces (smileys) mean?
A: They describe the relative happiness-level of given user.
The algorithm for calculating the happiness isn't too robust
currently, so most faces are too sad, but it will be improved.
>--
Q: I use FISG to generate many statistics and would like a global
template configuration file for general settings!
A: It is possible. Just give several -c options to FISG, as follows:
$ fisg -c global.cfg -c somechannel.cfg [...]
Configs specified later in commandline will override the settings
in previous files.
>--
Q: I have lots of separate logfiles, how do I give them to FISG?
A: If you are using Windows, you can only use "*" asterisk and "?" like:
> fisg.exe *.log
Under UNIX you can ALSO use the standard find(1) utility, for example
if you have logs in different subdirectories under "/path/to/logs"
$ fisg `find /path/to/logs -type f -name "*.log"`
>--
Q: I have logfiles from Irssi and Eggdrop and I want to have them all in same stats!
A: It is possible to specify format for every given logfile, example:
$ fisg -c mychan.conf -f eggdrop eggdrop.log* -f irssi irssi.log other-irssi.log
The eggdrop.log* will then be parsed as eggdrop-format, etc.
>--
Q: I want to create stats for many channels, what should I do?
A: If you know shell-scripting under UNIX, it's quite simple.
See example scripts "*-multichan.sh" under unix/-subdir. Under
Windows, you can create a .BAT-script. I'll add an example script soon.
>--
Q: There are duplicate nicks (users) in the top-list! Did I just find a bug?
A: Most probably you have forgot to specify the user's nick in the NICKLIST
in userfile. (Hey, the reminder in example users.cfg is there for a reason ;)
For example somebody in your channel is called "TheKing" and has also used
nicks "TheKing_", "TheKing__" and "daKing". A common mistake is to following
line in the userlist:
TheKing:TheKing_ TheKing__ daKing:
So, what's the problem? Above line specifies "TheKing" as USERNAME, not NICK.
It is important to remember that they are completely distinct concepts in FISG!
The correct definition line would be:
TheKing:TheKing TheKing_ TheKing__ daKing:
or a shorter version, using pattern matching:
TheKing:TheKing* daKing:
