== Mint Plugin

EXPERIMENTAL AND MOSTLY UNDOCUMENTED

An unauthorized plugin for doing cool stuff with your licensed Mint (http://haveamint.com) stats installation.

Can now create a cache table for quicker access when redisplaying on a site.

The "popular page" caching is in development and is being fixed for efficiency.

== Usage

This plugin makes it easy to access the data in your mint_visit table, or 
parse HTTP logs and insert them into the mint_visit table.

Pulling stats from the mint_visit table can be slow. This plugin includes a rake task to create a mint_caches table:

  rake mint:create_cache_table

You can populate this with

  rake mint:rebuild
  
It's best to use a cron task to build it periodically.

See the methods in MintHelper for ways to present the results on your site.
