Advanced Counter

If our complete statistics package and access to raw log files aren't enough, we provide the ability to define advanced, directed, hit-logging. Advanced counters are intended for intermediate and advanced users.

To setup, simply add the following code to the page/pages you are interested in watching:

<IMG WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 SRC="/cgi-t/logcount.pl?anyname.html">

where anyname.html is a name which you give to identify the HTML file you are logging to.

The script creates a log file, called count.txt in your /_private directory. FrontPage users will have a /_private directory already installed on their account, non-frontpage users will need to create this directory.
