create a table as follows:
counters
cid
name
value
for each page that you wish counters for create an entry eg home, products,
contact
add the code below as custom code substituting
$cname for the name above
server for the server name/address
username for the sql user
password for the sql user password
database for the sql database name.
This will only log the visitor once per session per page you are tracking -
you cant inflate your counters by hitting refresh.
//Custom Code @80-B6E9E578
// -------------------------
global $counter;
// Write your own code here.
//Change These Values for counter and Database
//Set counter
$cname = "home";
//open database
$conn = mysql_connect(server', 'username', 'password');
if (!$conn) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db('database');
//Don't Change anything below
//Connect to sessions
session_start();
//Determine if seesion exists
If (!isset($_SESSION[$cname])) {
//create the session
$_SESSION[$cname]="set";
//Query Database for current counter
$sql="SELECT * FROM counters WHERE name='".$cname."'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
$count = $row['value'];
//Increment Counter
$count = $count + 1;
//Update Database
$sql="UPDATE counters SET value=".$count." WHERE name='".$cname."'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
//End Custom Code

Might be better to simply set a session var, and eliminate the database
accesses following the 1st UPDATE that occurs.
If (CCGetSession(session_id(),"") != session_id()) {
$sql="UPDATE counters SET value = value + 1 WHERE name='".$cname."'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
CCSetSession(session_id(), session_id());
}
Thus, one database 'hit' per session, vs. 1 per every page-load.

Is this code for Page BeforeShow? AfterInitialize? What's better? Thanks.

Won't matter.
The database connection object is instantiated before any event fires. So
you could bump the counter in any of these page events, OnInitialize,
AfterInitialize or BeforeShow. Of course, if your page has no Grid or
Record control, you'll have to declare a connection object in your code
yourself, as there won't be a database connection built for the page
automatically.

Seems there ought to be a way to take this wonderful idea and condense into
a single function within the Common file, so that it doesn't have to be
'inserted' into every page. Can $FileName be retrieved within the Common
file?
