Jan Borsodi	Wednesday 23 July 2003 1:06:58 am You should create a small script which keeps the visitor count in a database table and include the script in index.php. You could place the include right before the include_once( 'kernel/classes/ezsection.php' ); line in index.php. Ofcourse you would need to know PHP and SQL to do the rest. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq
Hermano Correia	Wednesday 23 July 2003 2:57:29 pm Thank you for your answer. I know a little from PHP and SQL, but I think I cannot use PHP directly on templates of the eZ publish, or am I wrong? I already have a script I use on plain PHP sites, what should I change to use it with EZ, should I make a module? Thanks in advance for any help, and forgive me if the questions are too basic.
Bård Farstad	Wednesday 23 July 2003 3:09:21 pm You could actually also do this using a template opreator. This operator would then be used in pagelayout.tpl. The opreator could e.g. save a number in a file, or database, which would be counted everytime the page is accessed. -bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Steve Brown	Saturday 08 January 2005 9:05:56 am I'm very surprised that eZ publish doesn't include a counter that you can place in a toolbar. It would probably be more useful than the 'user information' tool.

Nicolas Heiringhoff	Tuesday 22 February 2005 1:05:08 am This is a good tool: http://www.phpee.com/index.php?node=21 It is not build into eZ Publish, but it does the job. A build in counter in eZ Publish would be very nice :-) http://www.heiringhoff.de
Bung Rudi	Tuesday 22 February 2005 6:43:39 am i've wrote a module for counter. you can have it on request. send an email to bungrudi@gmail.com. anyways, its very easy to implement/write one yourself. basically you just make a table in mysql or make a counter class with only integer attribute in it (and then instantiate a class of it). the script/module should check $_SESSION['counter'] (or define any other session variable if you wish), if it is set to false or !isset() (or any other value u defined), then it will increment the counter value by one and set $_SESSION['counter'] to true. if $_SESSION['counter'] is true, do nothing. thats all. :)
Heiner Wurbs	Tuesday 22 February 2005 8:26:23 am Hi, I'm using a hack since some weeks and uploaded it for this topic into the contribs: http://www.ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/stats_for_specific_urls Its quite easy and uses unfortunately no features of ez Maybe you can improve it and use it for your requirements. Regards, Heiner
