Site Stats

Well as I am making this post I have noticed that whenever someone relods my page it add another hit to the counter. Is there anyway to make it so that the counter does not count page reloads and so that it only counts visits to the site like lets say that user logs in and click like 70 pages well I want the counter to only count as 1 (one). also I found before a way to make it so that the admin of the site is not counted towards page clicks but it only worked for the index page and after that every click and reload was counted.

If there is a way around this then please let me know,. Thank you

this is currently no such feature. You "could" add a free counter from sitemeter.com which counts unique IP address visiting your site.

Check it out in the footer of my homepage

Thank you for that info. I think that someone should find a way to do that in nuke.

Well, it'snot very accurate. I imagine that's why it's been left out.

Any 56K user has a dynamic IP address. If they disconnect, then reconnect and check your site 3 times a day, that would be incorrectly listed as 3 different visitors because the IP address would be different.

The page counter specifically counts how many times a page has been loaded from your site, regardless of the number of users or unique IP addresses.

That is easy fixed.
Just find in header.php

Code:

include("includes/counter.php");

and change to:

Code:

if(!$admin){include("includes/counter.php");}

In regards to if the user is logged in and count only one page per visit, I am sure that it would not take a genius to work that one out.

Thank you Willy Wonka for that it works excelently. but will it make it so that all of the pages do not count or just the index

After logging in, nothing gets counted.

Well I added that cone into the proper place and still everything gets counted. Do i need to log out and then back in for it to take effect?

Strangely enough, this doesn't work for me, either. I'd love to have the option here, though. I'd like a slightly truer view of how many hits I'm getting each day, without my incessant reloads to check problem areas as i hack the thing to pieces.

I am using 7.2, and it doesn't work me either.

I would also like to have the solution.

try this and let me know if it works or not

Code:

global $admin;
if(!is_admin($admin)){include("includes/counter.php");}

Remember this will make it so that if you are logged in as an admin that the pages will not be counted. So to test it to see if its counting then log out of the administration and browse your site and see it the counter goes up....

Glad I could help.

What was wrong with the origional code is that the variable $admin even though you are logged out can still have data in it there fore will always stop the counter for those who have logged into the admin panel. So using the is_admin($admin) for a check is better where it will return a 0 if you are not logged in.
