hit_logger plugins alpha v0.9.06 - could use some testers.

Just a quick observation here Lee. The 404 handling within TXP is moving on at a rate of knots at the moment. We now have the ability to have an error_404 page template which TXP will use when it outputs a 404 error. I mention this only because I wonder if you might want to avoid 404 error handling within the plug-ins??

Hi Lee, there is a css problem for sure. f. e. the Login/logoff tab at the very end of the page is pushed to the very left and not staying centered. that occured first with updating to the 05 version of your plugins.

Well, I’m working on some CSS stuff for the next release and will try to get things working better. I’m not so good at CSS and it’s tough to test on multiple browsers.

Thanks.

I’m sorry if this sounds like Napolean Dynamite’s line “Because this is better, gosh whattaya think?!” There’s all sorts of features in Textpattern that are done better as plugins. Mostly because the plugin author has time to concentrate on a single thing and add as many features as they want. My plugin does a couple things that would be hard, if not impossible with the built-in 404 support:

Knowledge of the page that was missing and tags to display information, like the referring page.
Automatically taking a hit that was from a search engine and passing the query string to Textpattern.
Per file handling – flag any page view as a 404 and tell the plugin where to redirect it.
Using the previous feature, I have the ability to flag files with messy URLs as 404s.

Mostly I loathe to remove something that’s already coded and working…

Oh it definitely works. Did you get my email by the way?

swf · 2005-09-24 22:39:26

I’ve installed this at my site looks good so far.

michaelvesen.de · 2005-09-25 09:24:09

i installed it and everything works fine. i have one question though:

http://michaelvesen.de/shot.jpg

why does it show the page fav.icon? the file fav.icon is not even on the subdomain textpattern is used on. i deleted the file on my main-domain now and will see what’ll happen once there are more visitors.

I don’t understand why those appear. I’ve seen the plugin reporting missing favicon.ico files as 404s, but I haven’t seen my code get called if they exist. Basically I log anything that I’m told about, I’m not sure why Textpattern would see this file getting accessed…

yeah, the favicon appearance is strange. First time they turned up was with TXP RC1 or 2 i noticed. I did ask around why and someone said it has to do with IE ..

@ michaelvesen.de -> you got a beautiful photoblog, like it

its so strange, even though i deleted the file, it still gets displayed and has like by far the most hits…

well, well, maybe someone else knows an answer.

i dont think it has to do with browsers @ alexandra. because as you can see in the link below, almost 80% of my visitors use firefox and still the bug appears. [shrug]

nor do i actually.

something else concerning 404´s: about 40% of total hits are 404´s on textpattern.kbbu.de , quite alot and i do not know why.

That file gets requested by the browser for every page that it requests (Firefox, IE, and others). You’ll see it for everything that a visitor to your site requests as well as every page in the admin section that you view. The file is used for the little icon in Firefox tabs as well as the icon some browsers put in the address bar or next to a bookmark. Drag this link to your desktop and you’ll see a a little lego block as the icon.

If the favicon.ico file is missing, it should appear in the log as a 404 (with an X in the “flags” column). If it’s on your server, you shouldn’t see a request at all.

They’re pretty standard web files – my confusions is why they’re in your log and not marked as a 404. I should only log things that Textpattern served to the web browser…

Are they actually 404’s? What sort of files are they? I get a ton of 404’s as well and there are also some “messy url” requests that should be 404’s, but aren’t flagged that way.

Hi Lee, i noticed (perhaps someone else too?) my Daily Hit Statistics stopped after 14 days. The last info is for the 28th of Sept. May be a bug?
