Where will I find a complete set of current installation instructions along with all suggested settings and gotchas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Using ZC 1.3.7 and have user tracking mod installed. However, should it show the country of origin of visitors? - I have never had this working if it is supposed to.

Hello Javier, I had some problems and got them worked out..perhaps I can help.

May I ask if you see user tracking in your admin panel? If yes to you get an error?

Ah I see....its working but the flags and country of origin is missing?

I'd like to change gears for a moment please.

how to you change how many hours to purge?

Instead of purging records older than 72 hours I would like to please change records older than 24 hours.

I tried changing all instances of 72 in the files but this did not work.

Do I also need to modify the database somehow?

Thanks

Yes, it is working fine except for the flag of the country of origin is always just the US flag.

Is it possible to have this mod altered to create a new sidebox to display "Customer Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" similar to this: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics...1&aid=10654383

I think it would a great a addition to Zen Cart.

Why a new sidebox?? This is an admin side mod that already shows what pages a visitor looked at. If you want a detailed analysis of visits, take a look at Google Analytics. Or you can even see from the admin panel, under Reports, which items are viewed most or least and how many of each have been purchased.

I know about the admin side mod. The sidebox or centerbox I am talking about is used to automatically upsell products for the customers. Overstock have been utilizing this for years. Ebay has a similar version that they just start using, by recommending products to the user based on what items they viewed. It is hard to manually upsell products when you have thousands of products.

By automating this process you can save a lot of time. In my case I sell car parts so if someone is looking for a part for their car based on their car make and model, if you display other products on that is related to their car they might be interested in buying it.

This was just a suggestion for the general Zen Cart user. We will be developing a smart version of this mod for my website in the next few month that will use cookies to track customers behaviour and upsell products that is 100% related to their cars based on database, cache and cookies. It would be very similar to eBay system.

I hate to bump this but I have not gotten any response and think my question got lost in the mix.
