How to Use Free-DC Stats

GLeeM · Aug 27, 2017

Find your very own stats page here: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=userteamcomb&team=TeAm+AnandTech
Click your name to see all your BOINC projects. If you have more than one CPID (I think if you use two different emails in BOINC) you will be listed two or more times.

Your page is your gateway to any stats you want. Top center shows your general BOINC info. To the left find "Overall", it lists all projects - near the bottom is where I look for new start-up projects. To the right of your page find "Main Mega Milestones", click on "RankT" column number to see your position on the TeAm for that Milestone.

The main part of your page is "Active Projects". Click on number in "Score" column to see your stats page for that project including Milestone dates and all hosts. Click on the "Teamrank" column number to open the TeAm page for that project. I used to have a folder with 40+ bookmarks before I discovered this. From the project TeAm page near the top left click on "Project Rank" to open a page showing all teams on that project to easily look up how the team above or below us in Formula is doing.

Many pages that show Today or Last Update or Yesterday can be sorted on those columns.

If you are looking for another project to crunch open the "Overall" page, click on a project and then on the name of the project near the top to get to the project main page for all info.

If you want to set up custom pages you need to log in to Free-DC forum and then open stats pages and use the "statstool".

Please add your own favorite things and ways to use these handy stats pages from Free-DC.

A note about the timestamps which stats.free-dc.org is showing at various places, for example in the top right corner of the team stats page ("last checked", "data updated", and so on):

These timestamps are wrong.

For example, I have seen them move backwards in time after a page refresh. And I have seen points shown in the "today" column which came from result uploads which I definitely performed some time after the times which were shown as "last checked" and "data updated".

Argh. stats.free-dc.org changed everything. Why?

TennesseeTony · May 15, 2018

It absolutely SUCKS for my phone, horribly slow and all sorts of misplaced 'blocks' that eventually align and sort themselves out. I like the ability to sort each column of data, but....the phone interface sucks. I haven't looked yet on the desktop.....looking....

Well, I like the desktop redesign. Still fast, but with a LOT more function.

Well, isnt that special

I just went digging deeper. "No data in table"? https://stats.free-dc.org/team/=ast/1905600

TennesseeTony · May 16, 2018

https://stats.free-dc.org/team/ast/183

Of course there is no data in the table. The data is all in the laptop, sitting on the table.

(I'm not sure what you're looking for, but if you're trying to find movement of all teams, this is some sneaky tactic of SUSA's?

)

The navigation to "project XYZ for team ABC" pages is a mess.

Links which work like before the site change:

Select project, e.g. from the All Projects table.
Open the little tree at the left side bar.
Click Teams.
Click the respective team name.

Example result (TeAm AnandTech at Asteroids@home):
https://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=ast&team=183

New links which look the same but have a different URL:

Go to team by CPID page.
Click on credits behind a project.

Example result (TeAm AnandTech at Asteroids@home):
https://stats.free-dc.org/team/ast/183

New link which seemingly does not work at all = "No data in table":

Select project, e.g. from All Projects table.
Click on a team name in the teams "overall" table directly on this project overview page.

Example result (TeAm AnandTech at Asteroids@home):
https://stats.free-dc.org/team/ast/224871840

New link which does not work either = "No data in table":

Select project, e.g. from All Projects table.
Click on a team name in the teams "today" table directly on this project overview page.

Example result (TeAm AnandTech at Asteroids@home):
https://stats.free-dc.org/team/=ast/0
(or a different number than 0, but at the moment all teams have 0)

Somebody in the Pentathlon shoutbox said that stats.free-dc works again if the browser cache or history is emptied. Doesn't work for me.

BTW, project overview page:
There used to be several graphs, like the project's total production of the last few weeks. I can't find such graphs anymore.

PS,
I didn't care much for the colors of the old site. I dislike the colors of the new site.

Edit, white typeface on white background isn't the best choice for readability, is it? (Header of the project's Team Stats table.)

Like the guy in the shoutbox said, flush your cache.

No, not your BOINC cache, your browser cache!

Anyway, as you might expect, since I dislike website changes, I've been writing a user style to make the new Free DC stats look more like the old stats.

Code:

table.pretty.pretty.pretty thead th {
    background-color: #313131;
    color: #fff;
    border-radius: 0;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
table.dataTable td, table.dataTable th, #teamteam_wrapper, table.pretty.pretty.pretty, #charts, #charts div, #charts canvas {
    border-radius: 0;
}
#framework {
    padding: 1px 0;
}

#teamteam_wrapper { position: relative; }
#teamteam_wrapper:before {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    content: "";
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 304px;
    background-color: #f9f9e9;
    z-index: -1000;
}
#teamteam_wrapper .dataTables_info, #teamteam_processing { display: none; }

/* Colored columns in data */
.dataTable .right ~ .left + td.right, .dataTable .right ~ .left + td.right + td.right, .dataTable .left + td.right ~ td.right:last-child, .dataTable td ~ .center + td.left,
#userbycpid .left + td.right + td.right, #userbycpid .left + td.right + td.right + td.right
{
    background-color: #eceec5;
}
.dataTable .center + td.left ~ td.right:last-child {
    background-color: transparent;
}

#charts { background-color: #f9f9e9; }
#charts canvas { background: #fff; }

div[id^="metrics"] table.pretty.pretty.pretty, div[id^="metrics"] table.pretty.pretty.pretty td, table.pretty.pretty.pretty {
    border: none;
}
div[id^="metrics"] table.pretty.pretty.pretty th {
    background: transparent;
    color: #000;
    text-decoration: underline;
    text-align: left;
    font-weight: normal;
}
#metrics4 th:after {
    content: "Metrics Today";
}

I could do more if I could remember what some of the other pages looked like.

Edit: Got rid of the awful rainbow background on the charts!

My guess is that I first need to close all free-dc tabs, then flush the cache. Not going to happen anytime soon.

If you have some of the old style, could you take some screenshots of them for me?

StefanR5R · May 16, 2018

I don't have any pages in old style anymore; they have all been refreshed in the meantime.

Edit, try this: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stats.free-dc&iax=images&ia=images, and the equivalent google image search.

Bingo! Change any address stats.free-dc.org to stats3.free-dc.org. This will get the old style back. The drawbacks are or will be: any new features will never be implemented and any future bugs might not ever be fixed.

Thanks!
I use "Overall" to watch for new projects startup. Do you know if "Overall" will be fixed in the new style page? Or do you know of a better way to watch for new startups?

I really don't know. All this info came from one thread on the Free DC forum: https://www.free-dc.org/showthread.php?56743-Issues-with-The-New-Stats

As far as new projects go, I'll go looking around on WUPROP, BOINC, or Free DC to see what's going on.

StefanR5R · May 21, 2018

The bogus links which I mentioned in post #11 have been fixed.

Some remaining regressions which I should report at https://www.free-dc.org/showthread.php?56743-Issues-with-The-New-Stats instead of complaining here:

A project's teams table has a white-on-white heading.

Minor issue on the same page: The "collapse" icon in the leftmost tree is missing. Should be "https://stats.free-dc.org/theme/images/minus.gif" instead of "https://stats.free-dc.org/proj/theme/images/minus.gif".

I can't find project summary graphs anymore.

What's the point of the color gradients as background of all the graphs? I can't see how they improve anything. White background would be superior IMO. Or if you can't live without gradients in the background, consider a gray gradient.

I, too, do like the new colorful graphs. I've always had a preference for a solid color background and preferably just plain white for maximum contrast.

StefanR5R · May 21, 2018

Re #19, the white-on-white heading problem is fixed now too. Seems like Bok is addressing at least some of the issues very quickly.

crashtech · May 21, 2018

The font style appears like a regression, and the background color, if not white, should at least be a much lighter pastel shade, imo.

Yes, he's been steadily fixing stuff. That's why I'm patient about all the little things. He'll get to them eventually.
