i have a simple asp counter in my site, the counter uses a access db & cookies (so every visitor will be counted once).
in the past days the counter has gone wild & count goes from 300 in ordinary days to 1000.
i guess this is because of robots, crawls, worms etc. is there any way i can count only real visitors?
I'm a senior windows application developer and have been given an asp website for updating. The site I am updating is a dynamic site. The main page is a list of cities and when a person clicks on the city (cityID link), a new page comes up with city information depending on which cityID was clicked.
I need to create a hit counter to record the number of hits per city and these hits need to be recorded daily.
Would it be wise to create an application variable for each cityID and record the number of daily hits per to a database or file? Should I record each click? Which would be better? would it be slow, saving to a dbase if there is an average of 100,000 hits a day?
I am to build a site onto an ASP server. Anyone here used Dreamweaver and is it just a simple matter of opening up a new ASP page in Dreamweaver and build the site like you would normally do with a HTML page and it will handle the ASP coding accordingly and you can just simply upload it onto an ASP server and it will work?
The site I am to build is basically just a standard html website, but my friend wants me to build it for an ASP server so he has asked me to make sure it is an asp site so I am presuming with the extension .asp
If I build it as a html site to begin with, will converting it to asp be hard. Could I just export my pages into asp or is there more to it?
Can a Html website be loaded and working on an asp server or host?
Is it possible to have a site mixed both html and asp, eg. the home page is html and when you click on shopping cart on the home page it goes to a hopping cart page thats .asp or do they all have to have the same extension.
I have to pass form data from my site to another organizations site using POST method... how exactly do I do that? Im familiar with how to do it within a single site/domain, and cant use querystring... I dont know where to begin.
View Replies View RelatedWhenever I do a site that is mostly static but with some semi-dynamic
sections, I've struggled to find a good site search solution without
paying for a hosted search service.
I like the FSO-based search engines, but they fail to pick up on some of
the dynamic part.
I was just creating a Google sitemap and it made me wonder: has anyone
created or seen a script that uses the XML Google sitemap to power a
search engine for your own site?
Seems like if you were keeping it updated for Google, why not use it for
your own site?
I've been looking for a counting script to count the number of hits to my HTM and asp web pages on my company's internal website. So far, everything I've seen only works on asp pages. Where would I find some counter code to record hits on htm(l) as well as asp pages?
I'm using IIS 5.0.
I've got a little counter program written to log individual hits to a page
without counting the same person twice. The problem is, it's counting the
same people twice. Here's the logic:
1) Check the session to see if they've been counted.
2) If they have not been counted:
- save their referrer/IP info
- flag their session to say they're counted
- end
But it seems that some people are being counted for every page they go to
and some are not. I've included the code below just in case. Is this a
server issue, a browser issue, a cookies/no cookies issue, or something
else? Any help would be much appreciated. I want to have accurate counts and
information for where people are coming from with as little effort as
possible.
Is it possible to incorparate a Hit Counter to count the number of hits on a DIV instead of a page.
Below is the code of my DIV I would like to include the code for the counter inside this DIV. If at all possible??? Code:
I want to put the counter in index.html only...i dont want counter to keep on increasing EVERY TIME the same person views my website on same day. But the next day the counter will increase for the same person who views website the next day.
I only want the counter to increase for those who is first timer , not the SAME viewer who keeps on going back to the website over and over again on same day..
so how to do asp to achieve above? I have developed my website and include counter but d ont know how to go about including counter.

View Replies View RelatedI have built myself a little hit counter. It's just a few lines of VBScript that submit the page name and date to an SQL Server db.It executes every time the page is accessed. I am a little concerned that this method may put strain on the server given that the home page averages about 3000 hits a week.I wanted to do it this way because it allows me to use the date field to analyse the usage on a weekly or monthly basis.
Does anyone know if this will put too much strain on the server? Perhaps this post is better suited to a db forum. Really I'm just interested to know under what circumstances the db server will struggle.
I decide to put a custom Hit Counter on my page (below). Then I won't be
reliant on the standard FrontPage one which uses webbots.
It is called by:
<b>Hit Counter: </b><!--#include file="_fpclass/hit_count.inc"-->
The code it includes is below.
OK, it works - sort of.
If I go to Guestbook and then return via the Home button, the counter
increases by 3, not 1.
I can't see why this is happenning.
After returning, a refresh increases it by 2, then another refresh increases
it by 1 ??
I know that many say "Don't use them - it is a sign of an amateur", but I
would at least like to get it working even if I later decide not to use it.
I have thought to make it a conditional include, i.e. if document.referrer
is blank. Is that possible? Code:
I am running the WebService / CurrentConnections performance counter.
It works fine for one site I'm looking at, but not for another.
The one it doesn't work for, the polling vertical red line doesn't even
move.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls whether a web site can be be
'polled' or not?

View Replies View RelatedI want to make a hit counter for one particular page. I have code in one separate functions page, I then call this from the page I want to count:-
<!--#include file="tools/functions.asp"-->
<% Totaldownloads() %>
This bit of code is then called:-
<%
Function Totaldownloads()
Application("downloads")=Application("downloads")+1
Totaldownloads = CInt(Application("downloads"))
End Function
%>
However it seems that this code runs by itself allway's updating by 1, even when the Function is not called? I have other functions with the one stated above which are included on other pages, again using:-
<!--#include file="tools/functions.asp"-->
Surely the code should only run when called, not just included?
i'm having a problems as i dono how to request the value from the textbox. This is how is it. usually when we want to retrieve the value from the page we will Request.Form("txtBox"). The problem i'm having is i dono how many textbox it will be. Here is it.
I have a combobox that enable me to select how many textbox i want. For example it can select from 1 to 5. Ok when i had selected 5 then it will appear 5 textbox for me to enter the input.
The textbox is only got 1 name for the html as i create this in a counter loop. Therefore may i know how to retrieve the 5 textbox value as i need to do a checking for the input of the 5 textbox value with the database. Usually will be Request.Form("textBox") but now i have 5 values in the 1 textbox name.
can anybody show me how to create a visitors counter which can save the visitors details and the date into text file?
View Replies View RelatedI want to do a simple hit counter but my problem is I don't want to open a database everytime there is a hit. (I'm afraid this will give me problems with the server if too many people hit at once.)
I thought of doing it with files but I want others to be able to see the hits without ftp access.anyway to use javascript to call a stored procedure(in this case at least the page won't fail if the db is too busy)
I have 3 different ways to let the visitor know that latest news is up on the website. First is through email,send through website and last through a pop up.The problem is how do I develop a counter that record the hits from three different sources,so I know the most effective way that the visitor is using to access the latest news.

I have tried the PerfMon object (which doesn't work on NT-4 SP6).I have tried the WMI implementation located on http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2491 (which doesn't work on NT-4 either).Are there any other solutions to provide me with a TOTAL session count
across all apps?

I have tried to implement several counter scripts in ASP. For some strange reason it seems my server does not like these. At the moment my server is down again due to "too many user connected" errors from testing the counters. I copied the ASP script to another server and it works fine.For some reason, my server cannot handle the following code. When I run it, it simply stalls.
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Wfile=server.mappath("") & "counter.txt"
Any special setting I have to take care of?

i don t know much about asp so can any body give me the code for this counter and show me how to do like this that the counter script and database will be on some other server and where output to be shown is on some other server??????
