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

Hi Lee, thanks for the explanations.

Here is a screensh. of the browser stat – there are no % values anymore…
and confusing is: i use Opera 8 but “Opera 8” does not turn up on the browser stat. eventhough i visit my site very, very often :) i did not change Operas setting to pass off as some other browser.

btw. have you heard of Anemone?

I wonder if that’s a problem with the CSS that I’m using to set the length of the bars?

Did it work fine before and then stop?

When you hover over a bar, does it tell you the percentage values?

i use Opera 8 but “Opera 8” does not turn up on the browser stat.

Yeah, others have noticed that – I fixed it in v0.9.06b, a super-secret version that’ll be around for private testing next Monday.

Mostly I’ve been concentrating on the core code and not getting all of the browsers/search engines/etc detected.

btw. have you heard of “Anemone”

I saw that post, but I like the idea of a stats program that’s integrated with Textpattern – they seem to be parsing log files and are trying for a solution that’ll work across multiple websites running on the same server. My plugins are a little lighter weight.

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

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.
Hovering over one of the “Daily Hit Stats” bars show the counts not so for the bars of browsers, search engines, spiders and operating systems. I checked that in Firefox as well and it´s the same there.

Hope i could help a bit with my report. Thx a lot for your great work!

Re: 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??

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:

  1. Knowledge of the page that was missing and tags to display information, like the referring page.
  2. Automatically taking a hit that was from a search engine and passing the query string to Textpattern.
  3. Per file handling – flag any page view as a 404 and tell the plugin where to redirect it.
  4. 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…

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

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…

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

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

[Lee]

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]

oh and thank you very much. glad you enjoy :)
