A Drupal module providing a GBIF node basic statistics about datapublishers and datasets (using GBIF API).
This is a project following GBIF FR/PT/ES mentoring organized in Paris in October 2014.
This module is an adaptation of the code used in the french GBIF website to display data-publisher statistics and highlight their contribution to the GBIF network. It creates a Drupal menu with all organizations endorsed by your node.
Each providers has a page displaying :
- 1 table with datasets information (number of download, data count) and links to GBIF portal (browse occurrences, DwC Archive download link, download details);
- 1 map with occurrences distribution;
- 1 pie-chart with distribution of occurrences per kingdom:
- Total occurrences count per BasisOfRecords ;
Note that all data (except maps) are retrieved one time from the API and then are read locally (due to performance issue when requesting GBIF API multiple time).
- Module should be first installed in your Drupal installation folder (copy/paste or clone all files from the repo)
/your-drupal-installation/sites/all/modules/custom/gbif-publishers - Modify config.php to set your node key
$node_key = ""; - Execute generate_data.php , this will retrieve data from GBIF API and store them under ./json folder (this may take a few minutes to process)
php generate_data.php - Enable the module in your drupal module admin page (Configuration > GBIF Publishers)
- Once activated, this module should create a menu called 'GBIF publishers'. Go to Structure > Menu to make sure it is present.
- You can now display this menu in your site, using block for instance (Structure > Block)
Its recommanded to add the command php generate_data.php to your CRON to frequently refresh your statistics as they are not directly connected to the GBIF portal.
If you have problem to view the menu, you can try to clear Drupal cache (Configuration > Performance) or using terminal : drush cc
