## Description
QSO Statistics for Wavelog retrieves the QSO statistics of your own [Wavelog](https://github.com/wavelog/wavelog)
instance and displays them anywhere on your site via shortcodes.
* Total number of QSOs and QSOs of the current year
* QSOs per mode: SSB, FM, AM, CW, RTTY, PSK, FT8, FT4, JS8 and all digital modes
combined
* Multiple station IDs can be combined, totals are summed up
* Results are cached (1–1440 minutes, default 10) to keep the load on your Wavelog
instance low
* Visitors never see technical error messages; administrators do
This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wavelog project.
#### Available shortcodes
* `[wavelog_totalqso]` – total number of all QSOs
* `[wavelog_totalqso_year]` – total number of QSOs in the current year
* `[wavelog_ssbqso]` – SSB QSOs
* `[wavelog_fmqso]` – FM QSOs
* `[wavelog_amqso]` – AM QSOs
* `[wavelog_cwqso]` – CW QSOs
* `[wavelog_rttyqso]` – RTTY QSOs
* `[wavelog_pskqso]` – PSK QSOs (including variants like PSK31)
* `[wavelog_ft8qso]` – FT8 QSOs
* `[wavelog_ft4qso]` – FT4 QSOs
* `[wavelog_ft8ft4qso]` – FT8 and FT4 QSOs summed up
* `[wavelog_js8qso]` – JS8 QSOs
* `[wavelog_digiqso]` – all digital mode QSOs (FT8, FT4, PSK, RTTY, JS8, etc.)
#### External services
This plugin connects to the Wavelog instance you configure in the settings. Wavelog
is a self-hosted logbook application for amateur radio, so this is usually your
own server.
* **What is sent:** your Wavelog API key and the configured station ID(s), as a
POST request to `/index.php/api/get_wp_stats`.
* **When:** whenever a page with one of the shortcodes is rendered and no cached
result is available (at most once per configured cache duration; after an error
at most once every 2 minutes).
* **What is received:** aggregated QSO counts. No data about your visitors is sent.
The terms and privacy policy of the Wavelog instance are those of its operator.

## Installation
1. Install the plugin via _Plugins Add New_ or upload the ZIP file, then activate
it.
2. Go to _Settings Wavelog_.
3. Enter your Wavelog URL (https only), an API key (please use a read-only key) and
your station ID, which is “1” in most cases. Multiple station IDs can be separated
by commas (e.g. 1,3,10).
4. Add one of the shortcodes to any page, post or block.
Requires Wavelog 2.0.1 or newer.
## FAQ
### Why don’t the numbers update immediately?
Results are cached to reduce API calls. Changes in Wavelog show up after the configured
cache duration (default 10 minutes).
### The shortcode only shows “–”
The data could not be retrieved. Log in as an administrator and open the page: you
will see the actual error message instead of the dash.
### Which API key should I use?
Create a read-only API key in Wavelog. The plugin only reads statistics.
