Cpanel Counter

[welshwizard]

Help,

 

I went to the Counter section in CPanel, previewed and made my HTML, then used FrontPage (Office XP) to place the HTML where I thought it should go.

 

I then previewed it in FP, and uploaded the page, but alas, all I saw was the actual HTML text!

 

What do I need to change or add please ?

 

Here is the HTML that Cpanel made for me :

 

 

<img src="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=dtjames.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=5">

 

Thanks.

I'm sorry that I can't help with this as it is definitely a frontpage issue and I don't use frontpage.

 

Does anyone out there use FP that can help?

Would it help if I used Dreamweaver?

[Lianna]

Well, yes and no. Yes, because then I (me, myself) would know how to get your counter implemented. But, no, because there has to be a way to insert raw html into Frontpage, otherwise tons of people wouldn't be using it (contrary to my personal opinion of FP ).

 

If you have Dreamweaver handy, then you could just open the page to contain the counter. Click the toolbar button to "Show code and design view". In the bottom (design) pane, scroll to where you want the counter located and click the cursor into position. Then in the top (code) pane, paste the html generated by cPanel. You might see a placeholder or marker appear in the design pane. Press F12 to preview and make sure that all is well. Save the page and ftp it to the site.

 

Frontpage must have a similar feature to view the code. That is where you must enter the generated code, not the design view. Sorry that I'm not much help.

I know in dreamweaver I just do it like this, I tell the program to insert an image, and the location of the image i use the /cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=dtjames.dat|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=5

 

for the location of the img, im sure it would work the same in frontpage..

[welshwizard]

Are you saying that the

 

<img src="

 

bit need not be there at all?

[welshwizard]

All sorted -

 

I used DreamweaverMX, rightclicked and added HTML there.

 

At first, that didn't work, but I then removed the .dat bit from the HTML in FP and...

 

 

Waaaaaaaaaaaay ! -

 

Success

It's simple to paste the html code into FrontPage. Just click on the html tab to view the code, and type or paste the code there. I did that for the code generated for the counter and it didn't work for me either. Any clever ideas?

 

nm, figured it out, I didn't have a space between img and src. Also, removing the ".dat" helped.

 

 

The following code works for me (of course you'll have to replace the jrogers7 with whatever your username is).

 

<img src="/cgi-sys/Count.cgi?df=jrogers7|display=Counter|ft=6|md=5|frgb=100;139;216|dd=C">

 

Thanks

This is the probem:

 

If you copy and paste the HTML generated by Cpanel, you'll see that it does NOT transfer accurately.

 

Solution:

 

Write it down and retype it into FrontPage. You'll find that it works perfectly.

 

I thank you.

Yeah, I had that issue too - but only with the "<" and ">" symbols at the front and back of the string. For some reason it pasted the ascii codes instead.
