User tracking mod

[sirryche]

hi

i had the same probelms with spiders and bots. after spending weeks searching i found out their is two different versions of the user mod and both had a little difference to them. the first one is not supported and i don't beleive you can even find it unless someone comes across and gives it to you but i don't think it will work with 1.3.7 . that verson had a no bot policy of some sort. i have to find it but what i did is took the footer of that one which is

<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && !$spider_flag && function_exists('zen_update_user_tracking')) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

and inserted with the newer version thats in downloads. so far so good i don't have a single bot or spider being recorded. that saves me about mmmmm a billion useless info

Thanks for the info! I will give it a go and see if it will help me too.
What file do you insert this line into?
Thanks

Thank you sirryche! I patched the tpl_footer.php and everything works fine! No more spider sessions spamming the user tracking page :).

I did it not exactly the way you described. Here is what I did:

/catalog/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php
(on install, I did not had the tpl_footer in the templates/<MYTEMPLATE>/common directory, so I used the common one)

<?php if (ZEN_CONFIG_USER_TRACKING == 'true' && !$spider_flag) { zen_update_user_tracking(); } ?>

your welcome i put mine in /includes/templates/xxxxxxxxxx/common/tpl_footer.php where 'xxxxxxxx' is the name of the template i am using. hope this works for you

Hi all,

I had some trouble with the mod, re-installed it and everything seemed to work fine...UNTIL...I entered my site and put a product in the shopping cart, then entered amin user tracker and it shows this product in User Shopping Cart, but in another Session ID from another IP, btw I blocked my IP.

What happened? Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Hi all,

I've installed User Tracking and it give fantastic info for someone just starting out with e-commerce. I do have one minor issue though. When I click on "View Session" my admin session is terminated and I have to log back in again, go into Tools/User Tracking and find where I was.

As I said, not a showstopper, but an irritant.

Does anyone know what might be causing this, or how to prevent it?

Thanks!

Possum.

Hello all, have a problem here. We're running ZC 1.3.8 on our stores. A little while ago, the user tracking on the CreekTreeUSA shop quit working, it shows only a clean white page. The other shops appear to work fine, and there's no other symptoms on CreekTree, just no user tracking.

I looked at the database with phpMyAdmin, and the CreekTree user_tracking table has message that there's "No Index Defined". That table for the other shops have indexes time_entry, session_id, and time_entry2 defined.

For the time being, I've set "User tracking visitors" to false in the configuration. Does anyone have idea what's happened, and what needs to be done? Would appreciate any advice.
