Site logging and referer

liunx · Jan 10, 2008

Hi all 
 
Im having a problem i have made a website using frames and im trying to log where users are coming from, I am using a free cgi script logging form that uses javascript link to log people from the site? as im using frames i have added the logging link to the menu page but with doing this the referer always come out the the site url not the url where the visitor came from. 
 
Is there anyway i can add the javascript link for logging into the frameset page so that it actually works i have tried various ways but cant get it to work at all?? 
 
Thanks for all your help 
 
Nook6you need to insert it into the index page.Hi 
 
Scoutt Yes thank you it has to go into the index page, but what i really need to know is where can i put it in the index page, because im using frames the index page is a frameset page so whereever i put it in there is doesnt seem to work? 
 
Nook6does it output somehting to the screen or just log somehing behind the scenes? 
 
if it log behind the scenes then put it in the head section.Hi 
 
This is the code 
 
<script language="javascript" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"uf.js"></script> 
 
it logs everything in the background i put this code in the <head> section and it stopped the whole page from working?

Is not the script. 
It is the path to an external file containing the script. 
Do you have the uf.js file on your server? 
If so, post the contents here.

Nook6 
it shouldn't unless the script is messed up.Sorry all 
 
heres the contents of the uf.js file 
 
 
 
 
var refz = escape(document.referrer)+""; 
 
if (navigator.cookieEnabled) { 
cSupport = navigator.cookieEnabled; } else

if (navigator.cpuClass) { 
switch (navigator.cpuClass) { 
case "x86" : theCpu = "x86 [Intel processor]"; break; 
case "68K" : theCpu = "68K [Motorola processor]"; break; 
case "Alpha" : theCpu = "Alpha [Digital processor]"; break; 
case "PPC" : theCpu = "PPC [Motorola processor]"; break; 
case "Other" : theCpu = "Other"; break; }; 
} else { 
theCpu = "Undefined"; }; 
return theCpu; }; 
var cpuz = machiner(); 
var usd = screen.width + "x" + screen.height ; 
var usc = screen.colorDepth + "Bit";

That seems more of a counter script than a logger script. 
Whereas the cgi-bin tracks which page loads the image.

Either way. Is the cgi-bin on your server?

I see no difference in the text 
nor was I inappropriate within the post. 
Merely curious, not really concerned.

....Willyand another thing is that it outputs a image so it has to go in the body. what does you index frame look like?Put that script link into the body of the index page, and add type="text/javscript" to the <script> tag as well.Hi all 
 
This is the index.html source as i tried using it. 
 
if i use this code as it is the index page doesnt show but it logs perfectly. 
 
all the scripts are on my server and all working. 
 
 
 
<html> 
 
<head> 
 
<script language="javascript" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"uf.js"></script> 
 
<base target="main"> 
</head> 
 
<frameset rows="124,*,18" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="0"> 
<frame name="top" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"top.html"> 
<frameset cols="236,*"> 
<frame name="menu" target="main" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"menu.html" scrolling="no" noresize> 
<frame name="mainpage" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"main.html" scrolling="auto" noresize> 
</frameset> 
<frame name="bottom" scrolling="no" noresize target="contents" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"bottom.html"> 
<noframes> 
<body> 
 
This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them. 
 
</body> 
</noframes> 
</frameset> 
</html> 
 
 
 
Thanks for everyones interest to help me with this matter 
 
Nook6Everyone was assuming that your main content page (the actual frame itself) was called index.html. 
 
Now we see that it is actually called main.html not index.html. 
 
Put the code in that file instead. The code goes inside the index frame not in the frameset file. 
 
The code also goes in the body of the HTML code, not in the head section.actually it may produce the same problems as when they had it in the menu file. 
 
I knew it was a frame and it was depedning what the frame page looked like you could also have had it in a hidden frame. 
 
but it seems that what you want may only be fixed if you didn't have a framed site. unless you get it to work in the framed page.>> Why was this post editted by yourself? <<

I am guessing that Scoutt edited your post simply to get rid of the massive thread stretch, just by making the text size smaller (and maybe breaking the long lines too).Originally posted by Willy Duitt

you did nothing wrong. I just editted the text so the thread wouldn't stretch and scroll a mile.

Thanks Scoutt for being on top of things :rocker: 
 
The horizontal scroll was way longggggggggggggggggggggg... 
 
 
Thank you too giz 
Once you pointed that out, 
I understood.
