Yes they do, and some are more advanced and detailed than others.

The one I use- phpstats, logs several details about each page viewed in the site. IT can also log click-thus: which gives some indication of the route any visitor traverses the site. How else do you tell which section of a page is being viewed, unless there is a click(s) in that section? All that is recorded without any special changes. Just one snippet of javascript in theme.html
Check out my Stats here to see.


The program that I am subscribed to is really just a simple script that tracks the info for the page it is placed on ONLY. It is not as advanced as the program/code that you have given an example of.

I can't see how you can derive extra information from tracking individual template sets.


I am not gaining extra information, but trying to figure out a way to separate the different pages

Quote:

I may be missing something here, or you maybe overcomplicating what is required


I think the disconnect here is that you assumed the tracking program I am using is a "standard advanced" program.But in actuality my script is not that advanced, it is very simple.

It is not that I am over complicating things, I was trying to work with what I have, "a basic javascript that tracks limited information on the page it is placed on."

Bang me over the head, if you like, or maybe someone else will pick up what you are trying to do.

Richard, thanks for your help...not sure if I was clear enough above, but I hope that you can understand where I am coming from better...or maybe someone else would like to jump in here and offer some suggestions....
thanks,
Maureen

Carnuke, thanks for the reply, I have already done this, I placed the code in the theme.html...and it does work, but it treats all the pages as one without specific page/section detail. I really want to be able to determine which pages are being viewed. (this is how it is on my site currently- one code on the theme.html)

I thought that placing specific code on the templates would help me track specific pages/sections.

example: generate a headlines code and place it on all the template pages for the headlines section in the new template set cloned from the default and given the name tracking, and then activating this new template set.

This does work, but it does not work on the following three modules
News
Newbb
Evennews

For some reason, they all return a message saying the code is missing from the page, but the code is present on the templates.
(BTW, these three modules also report that the code is missing when placed on the theme.html)

Based on your post, is adjusting/cloning the templates incorrect?

Since the theme.html is universal across entire site, and is not section specific....where do I place specific tracking code for each section?
Is this possible?

thanks for the help...
Msreality

external tracking code

I have an external tracking code for site statistics (page views, unique vistors, etc.). In order for the code to work properly for each page that you want to track, you need to include the code inside the table and outside the table.

I have cloned the default template set and name it tracking.
I have added in the corresponding code for the section/pages I want to track to all the pages in this set.
(Both inside and outside of the tables on the page)

But the code does not work properly. I keep getting a message that the code is missing.

Is there somewhere else beside these templates that I need to put the code so that it works properly?

I did notice that each module has its own html pages under blocks that correspond to the template pages...are these additional pages that need to be adjusted or are these pages made up from the template pages?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Masreality

I'm still looking for answers to this one...I really like the way this module works, but I really need some support documents in english so that I can use it on my site.

If anyone has any info on where I can find support in english for this module I would greatly appreciate it,
Thanks

sorry I should have listed the errors.....Im not good at this coding stuff..and since I put the files back....I cant replicate the errors at this time (Im not moving them until I know I got it right)

I have located that the problem is in the mainfile.php and that the XOOPS Physical Path is not correct being the fact that I am knew to all this stuff, I am still weeding my way thru all the reading, and wanted to know if there was anywhere that I could get examples of what the path coding should look like?
Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

thanks
Msreality

I am really new to xoops...and really like it, I was able to create my site with very few problems....(currently have a phpadsnew question out there)....my site is ready to go live and I tried moving my XOOPS site from the XOOPS directory to the main site directory and got error messages all over the place, so I moved everything back into the XOOPS directory and my site works fine again, but I dont want it to be in example: mysitename.com/xoops....can someone tell me which files need to be changed once I move all the files to the main root directory...I know I need to change the main.php file but what else am I missing here?
I know this has been asked, but there are no replies which makes it very frustrating ....any help and/or direction would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks
Msreality
