!!blue Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Hi all, I have a question: where can I view the statistics for my site's visitors that will show me their Screen Resolution, Color Depth, and JavaScript info? (or am I the only one who'd want to see this? Nerd ) Thanks, !!blue Quote
Mav2u Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 I wouldn't mind seeing that also, I have that on my other hosting provider. They have a lot of goodies, especially for cfm stuff. But unlike TCH I pay a pretty penny for all the extra goodies involving CFM and Streaming video support features. I love TCH! Rock Sign But I would like to see those things to if at all possible. I'm not complaing TCH, I'm just saying it would be a nice addon to the already abundantly overflowing bag of goodies TCH offers. Mav Quote
TCH-JimE Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Hi, None of the stats we offer supply that kind of information, however, http://www.nedstatbasic.net do offer a free one which records screen depth and colours. Javascript info is hard to gather as some users have it turned off. Jim Quote
Mav2u Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 Oh well, not a big deal to me. I know what people are using out there for the most part. I also test my pages using netscape 4.7, 6.1 + and MSIE 5.0 +. These normally cover everyone. I really need to try out Mozilla and a few others people are using, normally most of my sites have no problem as I code them with W3 standards now. But that's what TCH forums are for, letting everyone else rifle through your site and find the bugs.....right? hehe Screen resolutions are now 800x600 default on almost all computers so I don't even bother with anything much lower than that on my pages, unless it's a special need. I have several monitors and computers with different settings, video cards, and monitor resolutions so I can see what they'll look like for the most part. I don't know what Mac's screens look like as I don't own one yet. Maybe someday, maybe indeed. Mav Rock Sign Quote
SEO Posted July 9, 2003 Posted July 9, 2003 You have access to your raw logs and can dump those and then run programs like Analog (with Report Magic; both are free downloads) to get what you are after. Analog Information Report Magic Information Quote
!!blue Posted July 10, 2003 Author Posted July 10, 2003 You have access to your raw logs and can dump those and then run programs like Analog (with Report Magic; both are free downloads) to get what you are after. Analog Information Report Magic Information Thanks all! dsdemmin, I will try what you suggest, a friend of mine pointed me to a perl script that could find this stuff... but that's too techy for me! Thanks again! !!blue Quote
TCH-Sales Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 That Report Magic Information looks pretty nice, I might have to check that out myself! Thumbs Up Quote
SEO Posted July 10, 2003 Posted July 10, 2003 You are welcome... this is what I used on all my sites for a long time. I will be honest though, only used them once on sites that I moved here to Total Choice Hosting... have been content with awstats (I do occasionally look at the raw logs though). Quote
chunkeroni Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 dsdemmin I am having a hard time seeing how I can get analog or report magic to track screen resolution.... can anyone point me in the right direction... any help would be great... Thanks in advance, Chris Quote
borfast Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I believe that screen resolution has to be tracked with JavaScript. It's been a while since I've played with that kind of stuff but it's something I have always wanted to do: a JS tracking script, to track screen resolution, installed plugins, etc, etc. I guess now it's a good time to start working on it If I can come up with something usable, I'll make a post here in the forums with it. Perhaps then everyone can contribute to make it a nice script Quote
TCH-Sales Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 That'd be awesome Raul, I say go for it! Quote
chunkeroni Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 That would be very helpful! Thank you! Quote
SEO Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 That would be nice Raul... the more cookbook (i.e. easier) for our users the better. Thank you. Quote
thesuper8workshop Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Thought you might find this useful: iscTrackerUrl Version : 5.6+ MiscTrackerUrl can be used to make AWStats able to detect some miscellanous things, that can not be tracked on other way like: - Screen size - Screen color depth - Java enabled - Macromedia Director plugin - Macromedia Shockwave plugin - Realplayer G2 plugin - QuickTime plugin - Mediaplayer plugin - Acrobat PDF plugin To enable all this features, you must add the following HTML code at the end of your index page (before </BODY>) : <script language=javascript src="/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js"></script> If code is not added in index page, all this detection capabilities will be disabled. You must also check that ShowScreenSizeStats and ShowMiscStats parameters are set to 1 to make results appear in report page. If you change this parameter, you must also change the awstatsmisctrackerurl variable into the awstats_misc_tracker.js file. Change : Effective for new updates only. Possible value: Name of javascript tracker file added in HTML code Default: "/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js" MiscTrackerUrl="/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js" Hope it helps Pav Quote
borfast Posted October 12, 2003 Posted October 12, 2003 OK guys, since my time has not been enough to work on the JS tracking script, I decided to give the AWStats "misc." section another try. I just made a directory named "js" on my /public_html directory and placed the awstats_misc_tracker.js file inside. Can't remember where I got the file from. I believe someone else poted it before. Then, on my main page, I added this code to the end of the HTML, right before the </body> tag: ><script language="javascript" src="/js/awstats_misc_tracker.js"> The next day, when awstats had already updated the statistics, I went to my CPanel, clicked the AWStats link, navigated down to the "misc." section and there it was! I had some percentages on the table. I must confess that it's rather disapointing, since the information is not that valuable... but it's better than nothing, I guess. Let me know if it works for you. Quote
!!blue Posted October 13, 2003 Author Posted October 13, 2003 Borfast, Thanks for the .js file, I'm gonna upload the .js file & the updated index tonight. I will let everyone know if it works for me. Everyone is so helpful here, def feeling the love :hug: later, !!blue Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 13, 2003 Posted October 13, 2003 Raul, Nice one, I tried that a while back but I modified the JS file which made it fail. Never thought of just sticking it in there to see what happened! Thumbs Up Jim Quote
las Posted March 2, 2004 Posted March 2, 2004 Hello, I have tried using the Aswtats MiscTrackerUrl and it worked fine for a while, but then I discovered that it caused me problems with my own cookies. Cookies seem to be deleted. When I remove the piece of code that calls the javascript my cookies work fine. Does anyone know how can I solve this problem? Thanks LAS Quote
