StatCounter

[AndyC]

Hi Yet again

Can anyone help with my stat counter code...

The instructions are to place it just before the header on the footer.tpl. I have done that and it doesn't work. I've even gone as far as placing it in the header , global and various other places and it just doesn't work

I have even gone as far as placing literal tags around it as 1 post suggested ,still no go ...

My code looks something like this

<!-- Default Statcounter code for my website
https://www.my website.co.uk,  www.mywebsite.co.uk -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=00000000;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_security="00000000";
var sc_https=1;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
async></script>
<noscript><div class="statcounter"><a title="web counter"
href="https://statcounter.com/" target="_blank"><img
class="statcounter"
src="https://c.statcounter.com/041095/0/099ef/1/"
alt="web counter"></a></div></noscript>
<!-- End of Statcounter Code -->

Well the {literal}{/literal} stuff should actually help. Have you checked what is the output on the browser? Does the html code have your js code?

In general I am a bit confused, what this is. Is this a counter how many visits your shop has? IMHO this is very outdated... I used this as a kid in the early 2000 🙂

lol... Yes it is , the code hasn't changed since I started using it in 2011 ,but it shows where people are visiting ,pages visited etc ,much like google analytics except it is almost instant

I think the problem is in the highlighted section -- there's no src attribute in this <script> tag, so the whole snippet doesn't do anything. It just declares few variables, but doesn't utilize them in any way

A Lot has changed in 8 years.  That is like Ancient History in IT years...😎

lol ... Are there any alternatives that would work with TB ..

Sorry, 
I also consider this function to be totally obsolete. the customers / visitors of the page / shops do not have to see that.
This may negatively affect actual orders.

Hi

Customers don't see it at all and is similar to google analytics . By showing where customers come from who is viewing what . What screens they are using etc etc A lot of useful info

[colorful-ant]

do you mean piwik or so?

[AndyC]

yeah but not so expensive.. Statcount was £4.99 a month which is why I stayed with it

[colorful-ant]

I did not know that piwik costs something.
So far, I only had to install it on my server and integrate it into the respective system.

It's now called matomo starts at $19 a month
