Better tracking of visitors

Thursday 26 February 2004 4:27:04 pm

Hi

Are there any plans to add user tracking/auditing to Exponential? This was discussed back in July 2003 here http://www.ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/audit_trial

We have done a couple of sites that have subscription based (login required) content access and the clients want to be able to gather stats on registered usage.

Is anyone else doing this and if so how is it being handled?

Cheers
Bruce

To use an external Logger / Tracker copy

http://www.etracker.com (commercial service): You get two pieces of JavaScript code.
{$site_title} and {$DesignKeys:used.section} is EZTemplatecode

  <!-- etracker PARAMETER 2.0.1 -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var et_easy = 0;
var et_ssl = 0;
var et_pagename = "{$site_title}";
var et_areas = "{$DesignKeys:used.section}";
var et_ilevel = 0;
</script>
<!-- etracker PARAMETER END -->

The second piece copy below between

{literal}
[...]
{/literal}

and for Pphlogger in an external installation:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="/jsfolder/pphlogger.js">
</script>
<noscript>
 <img alt="" src="http://www.example.com/logger/pphlogger.php?id=yourID&st=img" />
</noscript>

We also find awstats quite good. To use it on seperate sites in each sites conf file generate seperate logs, ie.
CustomLog logs/totals-site1.log combined

Then set up a seperate awstats conf file for each site.

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

it seems that naturaly this should be implemented into ez. such as download counting then viewing counting...

This is already implemented in Exponential. You can fetch how many times articles was viewed and how many times was tipped to friend. Look in to doc.

Look in to view_top_list and tipafriend_top_list
