Order counting script

[webyourbusiness]

I think so, yes!
I right clicked and selected "change file attributes" (using CuteFTP)
and checked ALL the boxes. Still didn't work.
When I went back in to see the settings again, however, all boxes were UNchecked?
DUnno...maybe even my website knows it's sunday!
Will tackle it when I have less to do, I guess.. along with my blooming Froggle submissions!

the version that norman last posted was designed to go inside the cgi-bin folder - but it should equally work from the acatalog folder as supplied - if you put it somewhere else, you're going to have to alter the script more

I've uploaded a script called norm.pl to your cgi-bin

Path From CGI-BIN to acatalog Directory - ../acatalog

ok..not to worry.. seems to be working now!
Not sure how or why but hey ho! Just to make me look daft, I suppose (not difficult!)
Thanks though Norman, offer of help very much appreciated!
Tracey

[pinbrook]

As well as uploading the new script, I changed the permissions on the one you already had loaded

[TraceyHand]

LOL
Gremlins at work!
Thanks Jo. I can't even follow an idiot's guide!
Was it very wrong? Where did I go wrong?
Cheers

Can someone explain to me the difference between OCC Sessions and Sessions?

I am presuming the OCC is payment received whilst Sessions is something to do with how many cookies are still active on visitors computers.

Now you can make me feel stupid

[webyourbusiness]

OCC sessions are payments that come back from your online payment provider - sessions are shopping sessions currently in progress.

Just wondering if this can be redone in perl to monitor 2 sites on different servers?

[pinbrook]

further up the thread, take Norman's perl version and install a copy on each server

[dave_finlayson]

Thanks Jo I have implemented this, was just wondering if you can monitor the 2 sites from the 1 perl script on 1 server. Save you from having to switch sites!

Dave,

Why not use Firefox and have the script on all your sites (I have four sites) and then use the multiple tabs in Firefox to see each site? Works like a dream!

Regards,

David

Dave,

Yeah thats a good call but I am actually hoping to use it on the move from my mobile, so being able to access 3 sites stats from 1 page would be easier. Not a big deal though!

[NormanRouxel]

I wrote a version that will check many sites simultaneously. It's posted above. They all have to be accessible from the same cgi-bin. All you need to do is change the line

@dirs = ('../acatalog/');


to (e.g.)

@dirs = ('../Shop1/acatalog/', '../Shop2/acatalog/', '../Shop3/acatalog/');

or (if you know Perl) use globbing to fill the array.

[dave_finlayson]

Yeah I saw that Norman thanks but sadly they are 3 completely different servers and therefore cgi bins!!! Great script anyway though!

[webyourbusiness]

you could install on each server and then setup a single html page with frames or iframes... much easier than re-writing the script to attempt this remotely - which I think is going to be a pain..

I have a php version - it would be easy to re-write it to include the remote collection of a number of other locations as well.... but each would need the base script.
