Request

[fdrago2]

Sorry for my ignorance. That means the information that appears in the footpage= 1312 requests since Monday 12 January, 2009

It refers to a search engines statistics or potential customers?

To me its says page hits. Take a look at the number then hit F5, then again, then again. Notice how it goes up 1 each time.

 

Anyone know which file to edit to remove this line ? Thanks.

 

**EDIT**

Found it...

Just comment it out in includes/footer.php by just adding two slashes before the "php echo counter now"

 

Eg.:

<?php //echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>

 

The hit request figure still increments, its just not displayed. That way if you ever want it back, just remove the two slashes again.

its in the includes/footer.php

 

look for

 

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
 <tr class="footer">
<td class="footer">  <?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?>  </td>
<td align="right" class="footer">  <?php echo $counter_now . ' ' . FOOTER_TEXT_REQUESTS_SINCE . ' ' . $counter_startdate_formatted; ?>  </td>

 

change to

 

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'counter.php');
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
 <tr class="footer">
<td class="footer">  <?php echo strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG); ?>  </td>

 

Im not sure if the example i have shown you is correct, so make a back up of the file and check, but its deffiantly that file and that bit of code to change

If you make the text the same colour as the background cell, you can use it as a (crude) way to count page visits! It gives you a rough idea of how much use the shop is getting, which can be useful.

 

To "see" the text just hold the left mouse button down and imagine you are selecting/highlighting the (hidden) text for a copy'n'paste.

 

 

Obviously this shows your own page views too, but it's still a useful and convenient counter in the early days until you are ready to switch it off.
