User tracking mod

[dasonix]

Ok I have found a issue with this mod. When viewing the User Tracker I was visited by a googlebot, well when I try to delete the session, it WON'T go away. Any ideas on what to do as it hit 91 pages and it showed all pages instead of just a small box never even hit the View Session box.

I have had a read through this thread and been looking for a way to turn off bots or to by default shrink there session info (page views) does such a hack exist?

As we have either google or yahoo on our site constantly it would be nice to stop there data from hogging the screen when looking at this mods output (looking at over 1200 page views in detail is a right pain in the bum)

In the ideal world something like the visitors mod for OSC would be nice where I can turn bots sessions views on or off

Petter Normann developed a version of User Tracking which contained some features missing in JeffD's version. (Petter's last version Sept 10-06). And JeffD's later version contains some features not in Petter's version. (Jeff's last version Dec 04-06). Both Petter and Jeff are now out of the Zen Cart dev scene.

So it would be very fine if someone with the dev skills could takeover the development of this mod and reconcile features from both versions into one.

Regarding tracking bots or not, here's some info in Petter's last version readme (info which is not included in JeffD's readme):

File Modifications: 2 with Catalog-user-tracking AND Admin-user-tracking

add the following to the end of /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php

Alternative 1: tracking all users and bots.
<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && function_exists('zen_update_user_tracking')) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

Alternative 2: track only users with set sessions.
<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && $session_started && function_exists('zen_update_user_tracking')) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

Alternative 3: RECOMMENDED, track all users except bots/spiders, requires Configuration->Sessions->Prevent Spider Sessions->true (I don't know if this works with Zen-Cart versions older than 1.2.6d).
<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && !$spider_flag && function_exists('zen_update_user_tracking')) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>


Add if you want to track admin pages viewed add the following to the end of /admin/includes/footer.php

<?php if (ADMIN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && function_exists('zen_update_user_tracking')) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

The above code works for me on ZC 1.37 with JeffD's last UT mod version (12-04-06). YMMV.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,
Just tried installing this contrib and ran into an SQL error. I followed the install instruction and tried to apply the patch through phpmyadmin. It seems that the patch won't apply this way if you are using a prefix for tables in your database.

However the problems was easily fixed by applying the patch through admin > Tools > Install Sql Patches. This seems to append the table prefix to the sql query.

just though you might want to know.

All the best,

keyword: DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = '999';

My admin/user_tracking_config.php is blanc after installing User Tracking v.1.3.6.2.

I've done everything as it says in the ReadMe.txt.

Am i missing something?

Woody!
1. Run this sql-patch:

UPDATE configuration_group SET visible = '1' WHERE configuration_group_id =999 LIMIT 1 ;

2. Remove user_tracking_config.php from user_tracking_tools_dhtml.php box (for admin_profile):

$options = array( array('box' => BOX_TOOLS_USER_TRACKING, 'page' => FILENAME_USER_TRACKING),
				);

3. Remove user_tracking_config.php file from admin directory.

Thanks Andrew! That did it.

One thing in step number two above. Looks like maybe an extra comma? So should it be:

$options = array( array('box' => BOX_TOOLS_USER_TRACKING, 'page' => FILENAME_USER_TRACKING) );

Above is how I did it and it worked. Or maybe the comma doesn't matter? Thanks again.

Woody:

Yes I forgot to send the updated language file, sorry!

For now add these to: includes/languages/english/user_tracking.php

define('ENTRY_START_DATE', 'Start:');
define('ENTRY_START_DATE_TEXT', '*');

I will try to put an updated archive which contains the latest code, GEO_IP data and country flags and upload it to the contrib area early next week. For now the above should get you through.

Thanks for the feedback,
Jeff

I assume you meant to add to:
admin/includes/languages/english/user_tracking.php

;-)

Very good! Happy Turkey Day!

I got exactly the same thing with the same zencart version as you.
I gave up and tried supertracker. This worked first time. Maybe this is easier for you.
It was just a thought
