Hit Counter?

[tina2]

I am fairly new to Cold Fusion, but I have experience with ASP. I am wondering if anyone has had experience with using the CF_Counter custom tag? I would like to track hits on every page, but am not interested in purchasing third party software or hosting. Would this be a wise route to take, or could anyone recommend another option?

Many thanks,
Tina

hi tina2

This is GunJack's post from thread232-106039

I think there were a few mistakes. I would never presume to correct GJ, hehe, but this is a little more succinct.


<cfapplication name=&quot;myApp&quot; sessionmanagement=&quot;yes&quot;>
<!--- TOP --->
<CFLOCK name=&quot;myAppVars&quot; timeout=&quot;3&quot;>
<CFPARAM name=&quot;application.uniqueVisitors&quot; default=0>
<CFPARAM name=&quot;application.count&quot; default=0>
<CFPARAM name=&quot;session.visited&quot; default=0>
</CFLOCK>
<cflock name=&quot;myAppVars&quot; timeout=&quot;3&quot;>
<cfif session.visited is 0>
<cfset application.uniqueVisitors = application.uniqueVisitors + 1>
<cfset session.visited = &quot;yes&quot;>
</cfif>
<cfset application.count = application.count + 1>
</cflock>

<CFOUTPUT>

<li> Unique sessions: #application.uniqueVisitors#
<li> Page hits: #application.count#

</CFOUTPUT>

<CFSET resetU = &quot;no&quot;>
<CFSET application.uniqueVisitors = iif((resetU is &quot;yes&quot,de(0),de(application.uniqueVisitors))>

<CFSET resetVisited = &quot;no&quot;>
<CFSET session.visited = iif((resetVisited is &quot;yes&quot,de(0),de(session.visited))>
