HTML - Website Counter Question
Hi guys,
I am new to the web design scene and I am attempting to build a simple website. The website will consist of a few pages however for the matter at hand lets pretend there are just 2: index.html & download.html I want to put a counter on index.html that will count how many times people visit download.html... it will be apart of the following sentence: Code: This file has been downloaded by x people x of course is the integer that needs to change. Really my question is: How do I do this? And can someone show me with a tutorial etc? Thanks! Similar TutorialsIts a script site, has an admin login area, no ***tion to add a counter. However, there are some free counters out there that have the code to copy and paste, but where do I input the code, can I paste it in the style css file? Thanks for your help ok, first, how do i make a counter? then also, if ive got something like: <a href="bla.html">bla</a> <!--counter here--!> how do i make the counter go to how many times people clicked on that link? Hello! I am almost done constructing my jewelry website. I am using Paypal on it. I figured out how to cut and paste the "Add to Cart" buttons. But I can't figure out how to get my "View Cart" button in the top right-hand corner of my pages. Their button wants to take up a whole lot of room, and it doesn't need the room--it's just a little button. I tried incorporating it into a table, and that didn't work. It wants to center itself under the heading I inserted it next to. Does anyone have any ideas for me? Hi guys, I have a client who's on a budget and has a unique need in one of their forms on the website. They are a shuttle company that caters to college students. In the form, there will be a drop-down option for University, and when you choose one, a second drop-down field needs to appear below to select the dormitory, from a list. I wanted to know if anyone had any simple, affordable ideas to get this done. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks alot! You guys have helped me alot in the past and I thank you. -Nick Intuition Designs LLC Hi everyone, I need some help! I have a forum, as well as a separate website. I would like the homepage of my website, to have "recent posts" section, from the forum. I know it's possible, i've seen it on many sites, can somebody help me out? Thanks! hey all, Thanks for looking at my issue, what i am trying to do is as follows! On my page http://cre8tivepixels.com/Quote%20form.html I have a quote form up the top, that works fine, i then added a section where models could send me three photos, when you click on these tabs it loads the photo up, but all i get is an email with the photo names but NO photos? What do i have to put in my script to make it so i recieve there jpegs, and not just the name of the file? Can this even be achieved? Basically i want the photos that a model submits to be delivered in my email address the same as my Quote Form above? Hope that makes sence? Cheers Dan I am learning HTML partly through opening the source code and reading it. But I wanted to test something different today. I used the source code for a site with a horizontal menu with white letters. When I added it in a html editor (and also opened the source code through notepad), the menu showed up vertical and had just plain text with the standard blue color. Why does this happen, and why doesn't it show up exactly like it does on the website? Dear forum members, I have a web site on which i wish to add a page with a news-section. By that i mean a blog-like section, where i can post updates about events and products etc. So something like: <separation_line> <headline> <the date of the news> <body_text> <separation_line> etc. Then i wish to make it so that the posts i put in this news section are automatically sent as wall post to the firm's facebook page (which is in turn sent to twitter, but that is already working). I am completely new to blogs etc. but know how to code html, css and java and a few other languages. Is there a way to do what I am looking for, easily? Is that something wordpress is for? The web page is http://www.leveldance.com, in case that is of use in providing some advise. Thank you very much in advance. Magnus Hello, The department I work for recently asked me if I could add a search tool to the front page of our home page. Unfortunately, this is new to me as I've never had to (or tried to) do anything like that before. At this point I'm not sure where to begin or if it can be done with the home page we have. Our website is pretty extensive so I can understand the need. I kindly thank anyone who would be willing to get me started. The website has been developed from adobe golive, if that's important. Thanks again. http://wellnessandpreventionoffice.org/ Hello, I'm trying to create a counter on HTML that actually counts and say Page 1 of 30. Can you please tell me the code to put it on. Thanks I would like to show that my message board has a new post on my main page. Or maybe just the number of views of my message board shown on my main page. The message board I use is guestbook.cgi Thanks Rick Hey guys, I found a counter on the web, and tried to reconfigure it to what i need. the weirdest thing has happened, and I don't understand it. maybe someone can tell me logically what it means...so heres the code: Let me also explain what i am trying to do. as a user, I want make it start a counter when I go to domain.com/index.php. if i go to another website (within the same domain), the ip addresss is stored. I want to make it so that this counter will not increase when the same ip address goes back to index.php <?php if (file_exists ('count_file.txt') && ($ipone != $iptwo) /*So here, I wanted to set the following: the if statement is TRUE if the two conditions are met: count_file.txt exists, AND $ipone DOES NOT EQUALS $iptwo==== now heres what baffled me. This IF statement is executed when $ipone actually EQUALs $iptwo.. I made the opposite change where instead of != it becomes ==, and this IF statement wasn't executed.*/) { $iptwo = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; echo $iptwo; /*Just here so that I can debug my problem*/ echo $ipone; /*This was just here so I can debug my problem*/ $fil = fopen('count_file.txt', r); $dat = fread($fil, filesize('count_file.txt')); echo $dat+1; fclose($fil); $fil = fopen('count_file.txt', w); fwrite($fil, $dat+1); } else if (file_exists ('count_file.txt') == NULL) { $fil = fopen('count_file.txt', w); fwrite($fil, 1); echo 'else if'; /*This was just here so I can debug my problem*/ fclose($fil); } else { /*Here I don't have to do anything.. didn't know if "break;" would work, so instead i just left this as is.*/ $fil = fopen('count_file.txt', r); echo ('else'); fclose($fil); } ?> Hi all My Site is hosted on linux site and i have basic cgi scripts for page counters, but does anyone know how i can create a download counter for files which can be made visible to users. I want the content to be updates live on the site ( basic count per click ) http://www.pellapushers.co.uk/mashups.html Is this possible with html code or should i be looking at cgi Regards, Alan I've made a hit counter for my website and need a bit of help in HTML to get it to work. There are 3 files: One SWF file One PHP file and One TXT file All three of these files are in a web folder. What I want to do is get it to work on Blogger. I've successfully embedded the SWF file into it which shows the hit counter but need the TXT file and PHP file to load along with the SWF (and to change the TXT file in the web folder). Is this possible to do with some HTML code? Any help would be greatly appreciated Just ask if you need a bit more information. EDIT: The problem has been solved, for anyone who has the same problem the solution is easily solved by using the <iframe> </iframe> tag. Just add a src, width or whatever else you need in it. The instructions say to insert two chunks of code into your page. ''You just need to insert two chunks of code into your page. Place this within your HEAD section...'' (where is the head section in the INDEX.html file??, is that on the top) Here is what the code looks like. First ''chunk'' <!-- Start MegaCounter HEAD tag code --> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!-- /***********************************************************\ MegaCounter v1.1 A "configurable" hit counter for the rest of us... by Joe Barta http://www.pagetutor.com/megacounter/ \***********************************************************/ text_string = "visitors since 9/5/98"; txt_color = "#000000" // Text string color counter = 587113; // Counter starts at this, revision = 1; // Every time you alter your initial counter value (above), you must also change the revision number. page_code = 1; // Unless you want every page to use the same counter, you'll need to use a different page code for each page. hitsperday = 2000; // How many hits per day you want. bg_color = "#222222" // Background color of counter fg_color = "#66FF66" // Foreground color of counter link_color = "#0000FF" // Color of link back (Powered by MegaCounter) back_color = "#FFFFFF" // Color of white space in counter area //--></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pagetutor.com/megacounter/generic_cookie_1yr.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.pagetutor.com/megacounter/megacounter.js"></SCRIPT> <!-- End MegaCounter HEAD tag code --> And here is the other ''chunk'' <!-- Start MegaCounter BODY tag code --> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"><!-- document.write("<TABLE CELLSPACING=\"0\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" BORDER=\"0\" BGCOLOR=\"" + back_color + "\"><TR>"); document.write("<TD BGCOLOR=\"" + bg_color + "\"><FONT FACE=\"andale mono,arial\""); document.write("COLOR=\"" + fg_color + "\"><B> " + counter + "</B></FONT></TD>"); document.write("<TD><FONT SIZE=\"2\" COLOR=\"" + txt_color + "\" FACE=\"arial,helvetica\"> " + text_string + "</FONT></TD>"); document.write("</TR></TABLE>"); //--></SCRIPT> <!-- Start MegaCounter BODY tag code --> I pasted this in the index.html file, but then no counter showed up on my website.

As the person types in the text for the patch, I need to be able to count the number of key strokes and from that count be able to direct to the right page. How can this be done. I can do alittle coding but not very good at it yet. If there is someone out there that can help, I will be happy with any help I can get. Thanks. I've had a simple php counter on a web page for years. Now I change the webpage and put the counter html on it just like before and this time it doesn't work! Could this be something to do with the new page being xhtml instead of html? Or because this time there's already a 'javascript' section whereas before there wasn't? Or what? The page is at http://greenpepper.org if anyone would care to look. the html line is right at the bottom of the page, just before </body> and the line itself is: <script language="Javascript" src="counter.php"><!--//--></script> The php counter code is very simple, too, it is: <? $filename = "count.txt"; $fp=fopen("$filename","r"); $count=fread($fp, filesize("$filename")); fclose($fp); $count++; $fp=fopen("$filename","w+"); fwrite($fp,$count); fclose($fp); // Use this line below if you like to use this counter to count hits in a PHP file. //echo "This page has been visited $count times."; // Use this line if you like to use this counter to count hits in a HTML file. You also need to add a code in your HTML file. See the guide for details. echo "document.write('$count');"; ?> The text file is still there in the directory, I checked everything by running the old file again and it runs the counter okay. Hi, I would like to display a counter below an image which shows how many times it's been clicked and viewed. Could someone possibly help me with some code to do this. Thanks Simon I need to create a web counter that doesn't track hits, but increases by 1 every 8 seconds. I have some experience with HTML, but no experience with Java. I'm not sure how to create this. Does anybody else? |
