unless you know your stuff super tracker is a waist of time. since there is no readme to let you know which files to put into the files they belong you will just spend a lot of time guessing. i tried it and seem to have half of it working. it lists it in admin but cant find database. so if anybody knows what thay are doing and can take a look at it and whip up a read me for newbies like me it sounds like it could be a killer mod.

1. You are not able to read?

Only for the experienced users!!!

If you the newbie, why you get it?

2. No read me real needed. Unpuck and upload. It does not happen easier.

3. Why you post here? Offtopic.

If you have any questions or you need some help/support on module supertracker - post it in support thread.
Or you only want to flood?

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(); } ?>

One nuance:
If you set Force Cookie Use->true, then at the first user entry sessions does not started!!! And In variant 2 and 3 user-tracking not started. In this case you lost one click and (NB!!!) refferal. But if this user are old (returning) user and have an old (previous) zen cookie the session started and your tracking system collect this info. So, the result beforehand is not known.

I have seached this thread and can't figure out my problem. I just upload this module from the downloads and after I have done everything as per the read me....I go to tools/users and when I click on it or the user config I get sent to paper can not be found and then I get a 404 error. Any ideas what is wrong? I am running zen 1.3.7 Thanks

Just a note of suggestion ...

I was looking at some slow queries logs today and noticed user_tracking on the list ...

Looking further, I noticed that there are no index on the user_tracking table ...

I think it might be a nice idea to hunt down the ideal indexes for this add-on and get some of the load off of the servers ...

I have installed the user tracking mod and it was working great BUT when Google spidered my site I could not purge it from my records. I could however purge everything esle.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
