At this time, there is no counter available for number of visitors to the calendar. However, we are currently investigating some new Web 2.0 ideas such as Googleanalytics. This is a free utility where you register and enter the URL of the site you wish to track. Then a few lines of html are generated which you place on your site and then Googleanalytics starts to collect info about your site visitors. There is a DisplayHeader function in a file called defines.inc located in the [webroot]\evanced\lib\common folder. The HTML in that function can be edited without impeding future updates/upgrades. If you can send us the code for the googleanalytics feature we can add it to the function for you.
You will need to sign up for a Google account so that the analytics information can be emailed to you. Here's what you have to do:
-
-
Click on Sign Up Now
-
Enter sign up information
-
You will be sent a verification message to your email account
-
Use the link to verify and then access your new account
-
From your account, click on the Analytics link
-
Click Sign Up
-
When prompted to enter a web site address, you would use: http://yourlibraryURL/evanced
-
Enter your New Account Info and click Continue
-
On the User Agreement page, scroll down and click the check box for “Yes, I agree”. Then click Create New Account.
-
Copy the code that will appear in the first box on the screen and email it to us. We will add this to your system.
-
You can then go in to your account and configure what information you want to receive. Once we install the code, you should start seeing results in about 24 hours.
We should also mention that, depending on what the Googleanalytics can provide, there may be an issue of it giving you a false number because all of the patron pages call the function, not just the calendar page. This includes the event information/registration pages and the Room Reserve pages.
