Help With Counters

[jhollin1138]

While looking around under cPanel I noticed that a web counter was available. I wanted to add a counter to my site, that is once I get it finished. I decided to add a counter to my temporary main page. Everything want without a hitch. (BTW, I called this counter "main")

 

I also have plains for "another" main page in a sub-folder to serve as the home page for a forum I am going to host. I decided it would be nice to include a counter for this site as well.

 

So configured another counter, with a different name then the one before, and added the HTML code to this temporary home page as before. All I get is a red "x", no counter. (see this site).

 

Can I have more then one counter? What do I need to do to the HTML counter code to get it to work? I tried adding a ".." before the "/cgi-sys" thinking I needed to go back to main folder, it didn't work.

 

BTW, if this is the wrong forum feel free to move it.

Try changing the counter's look and feel.

@hindixp: I didn't think changing the look of the counter would solve the problem, but I tried it anyways. As I figured, it did not solve the problem.

Hey Jim,

 

Try this:

 

The current URL of the counter which does not work is:

>http://www.jhollin1138.com/todayplus/=%22/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=todayplus.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=G%22

 

Now, start by removing the %22 at the end of it, then get rid of todayplus/=%22/ not sure what the =%22 is doing there but its looking for the cgi-sys dir in that dir but its not there.

 

You should end up with this url. which should work:

>http://www.jhollin1138.com/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=todayplus.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=G

 

If ya need anymore help, please let me know,

James

James,

 

Thanks for the tip. I went back to look closer at my HTML counter line. Although I didn't see the "%22" you found, I did find my problem.

 

><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><img
src=="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=todayplus.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=G"></p>

Between the "src" and "/cg-sys/" I had 2 "=". Darn typos.

 

Thanks again for the help. Thumbs Up

Ahhh! makes sense now, I didn't look at ur HTML, just played wi the URL until it worked. But if you look at:

 

>http://www.jhollin1138.com/todayplus/=%22/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=todayplus.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=G%22

 

You can see where the =%22 comes from, the = is your extra = sign, and the %22 is the " after the = sign, which is why there is one at the end too! The extra = sign obviously made the browser include the "s in the URL.

 

So yup, it all fits together now, glad you got it sorted!
