strange files on server

[NickD]

Hi All

Many thanks for this excellent suggestion - which I will try out. My understanding is that this will log customer site search data. I have a related question. The spurious session files I am seeing are in many cases empty - these are the ones I believe to be produced by crawler or similar activity - and they are normally something like 600 bytes in size. However sometimes I see larger files - the size varies - and these appear to be the result of customer activity where product is placed in the cart and then the purchase never completed. Sometimes the customers enter actual customer data (names, e-mail/street address) which is visible - so these are not crawler-generated. My question is - is there a way of logging into a single logfile all the products which are placed in a cart, irrespective of whether or not the purchase is completed? This might yield very valuable information.

Regards

Nick

There is not a method I can conceive of.

The problem is that the information passed to the shopping cart is quite complex (with attributes, choices, other info etc.) - certainly much more complex than a search string.

That's a shame - perhaps a simple version of the feature (product code only put in logfile?) could be added to the wish-list...?
