User tracking mod

[gilby]

Hello all!

First off I want to say this is a fantastic mod. I don't know how I ever got along without it.

Having a problem though. Since about two days ago user_tracking.php just times out on me. It's always been a bit slow (lots of database records to retrieve, I understand,) but now it isn't responding at all.
Every other page on the site of course works fine.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Set the Host Lookup option to false,
if you have too many daily records this seems to time out.

Um, begging your pardon but... how?

I don't see that option in the config.

I just installed the user tracking module. I had to make the db modifications manually, due to modification of the configuration db by another mod. I uploaded all files, made the necessary changes to the tpl_footer.php file, but no user tracking is occuring.

Is there something that I missed?

Well, as I'm not going to have time to continue my work on/at my webshop I just came here to say goodbye (so you don't think I've gone M.I.A) and wish you all good luck with your continuing use of Zen-Cart (which I think is an awesome tool) and the tracking mod.

Best regards
Petter

Petter,

Sorry to see you go. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you did with this mod.

Good luck for the future.

Regards

Has anyone done anything to produce a report from the data collected by this mod? I look at it all day long as I'm watching my site, and would love to be able to produce reports of the items people have visited, etc. Any ideas?

View the session tells you what product they visited
for example you will something like this

BOT, crawl-66-249-65-113.googlebot.com [delete session], [view session]

Click View Session

That simple.

[dgwyn]

Yes, knuckle-101, I know about viewing sessions. What I was asking for was a reporting mechanism to show data from multiple sessions.

Ok, I have had something weird going on with my site. When I filter out my own ip, it doesn't pick up ony visitors. When I don't filter myself, it starts picking up visitors again! I was filtering myself and I didn't see anything under user tracking. I took out my ip and immediately I see visitors on my site. I check the 'Who's Online' and see these people have been online for a while.

Has anyone else experienced this?

On top of the problem previously stated, I had to turn recreate sessions off because some of my customers were having trouble logging in. But now, bots are appearing (and clogging up) my user tracking. I have checked and rechecked the config/sessions and verified that prevent spider sessions is true. I've also checked that the correct tracking code is in the footer. But the bots still popup.

I'm assumming that recreate sessions being off is causing the problem, that is when the bots started showing up. But I would love to hear from someone smarter than me about why this would happen, and what I could do to fix it.

If not is there a link to a newer version before I install this one?

thank you,
