User tracking mod

a_berezin Supertracker sounds interesting I would like to take a look please.

Supertracker - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=369711#post369711

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?

a_berezin:

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.

ok sorry if i upset the bee hive. but i been playin with php for years but its not my cup of tea. its not like my second language. hell i have enough problems with english. my first language.:shocking: as why would i download it??? well us 'newbies' have to learn some how. and i disagree with you as upack and upload for if that was true the rest of us 'newbies' wouldn't have to ask for help! sorry for asking....... and i posted here becouse this is where i saw the info

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?

Woodymon:

Alternative 1: tracking all users and bots.

Alternative 2: track only users with set sessions.

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).

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 ... :eek:

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 ... :smile:

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!

i installed the Contribution: User Tracking
Version: user_tracking_for_zen 1.3.6.2

from the downloads section, got it uploaded, configured, but the problem is, there is no way to initiate it. the documentation reads:

Admin/Tools/User Tracking displays your users visits

but it does not exist. there is a bit of confusion over this statement:

2- install sql patch file, preferabely by phpMyAdmin than add sql patch of zen ( as recommended in the forum)

i installed the file user_tracking.sql in the zencart sql patch section under tools, but what does he mean by "then add sql patch of zen"?

So any way, i do have the user tracking config in the Configuration menu of admin, i do NOT have user tracking in Admin/Tools

Any ideas?

UPDATE: i noticed this error on my page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_update_user_tracking() in /home/content/h/u/m/humbll/html/rda-enterprises.com/includes/templates/sophybluegr/common/tpl_footer.php on line 68

fixed it by reinstalling

I've noticed another bizarre behavior: When a "guest" has items in his shopping cart - all the other prior "guests" have the same items in their shopping carts too.

This is 1.3.7 UT on 1.3.7 zc.

Any suggestions?

Hi...same happens to me!!!

I use v1.3.7 and got the UT from the download area.

Thanks a lot for help.

I see users assking guestions but do not see any reply.
Has this thread died?

The user tracking mod seems to have a few bugs.
I myself cant purge googlebot crawls from my database.

Thanks again.:lookaroun

The contrib works fine (as far as I can see, installed it some days ago). The only problem I got is the same one beasley described: Googlebot sessions cannot be deleted, click count is 900 now - and raising.

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

sirryche
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:laugh:

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 :cool: 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:clap:
