Hit Counter

**fats1964** · 2 May 2007, 01:51 PM

I am after the best place to insert a hit counter (not Zens)
One that gives much more detailed information, I have a code from http://sv1.webvisitor.info/Members/default.aspx

its an invisible one so that helps a bit.

you would put it in the tpl_footer.php
located in the common folder of your template,

if your after more than a hit counter take a look at this

Hi

Thanks for that

My memory is going

I'd like to use StatCounter, but their installation instructions read, "insert the StatCounter code anywhere between the <body> and </body> tags".

But I don't see body tags in the tpl_footer.php code.

Where should I put it? At the very end?

If possible, get a Google Analytics account, it's simply the best.

Thanks for the tip! I signed up for an account, but I still have the same problem of where to place the code in the tpl_footer.php file since there is no body tag.

I guess I'll just put it at the bottom of the code and see if that works ......

For anybody else who comes along with the same question as me, I placed it at the end of the code and it works. Also I decided to stick with StatCounter because it tracks in real time whereas it appears that Google Analytics takes 24 hours to update. I'm impatient.

Just for your information, those things can slow down your site, so I would just use either one.

I just added statcounter code to my site. I know it can slow it down a bit, but I think its worth it.
If anyone was having problems finding the tpl_footer.php file, I found it in
includes\templates\template_default\common

I'm trying out StatCounter too. I put the StatCounter code on the footer.php but it looks like it logs only the homepage stats. Which files do I have to add the code to to get stats on all pages?
