Hello Eddy,
      I have gone thru ur Blog.
But in this I guess I need from this part -->
C. Generating Own Stats in BSP
C.1. Logging It
If all of the aforementioned tools don’t cover what you’re looking for, or there are technical/other reasons not
to choose them, then there is only one thing left to do. Write your own stuff. It really isn’t that difficult to do
and, if you are confident enough, you can make something that suits your needs 100%. Or as a host in a
Flemish regional TV DIY show always says: “What you do yourself is usually done better.” Let us see what
you need to do in order to achieve this.
First of all you need data on the browser. This can be done via JavaScript and the navigator object:
appCodeName
The code name of browser (i.e.: Mozilla)
appName
The name of the browser (i.e.: Microsoft Internet Explorer)
appVersion
Version information of the browser (ie: 4.75 [en] (Win98; U)
userAgent
String passed by browser as user-agent header. (ie: Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Hotbar 3.0))
Platform
The platform of the client's computer. JavaScript 1.2 property. (ie:
Win32)
You probably need some extra information like IP number. This can be done via the
request->get_header_field method.
As such you don’t need to retrieve this info every time if you have a single entry point like a login page. Just
put it in a server side cookie. Each new page will read this cookie and save this info together with the page
name, user id, eventual parameters, etc. into the log. Now I talked earlier about the visitor concept. This is
also an ideal place to implement this. If you are only interested in returning visitors with a full day time interval,
you can for example determine whether that user has already used that application. If so, you just increment a
counter. If not, you have to create a new line. This method will also reduce the size of your table.
C.2 Showing It
The only thing you need to do is to analyze and visualize stuff. The analyzing stuff is completely up to you.
The following screen shot is an example where the total number of visitors within a given time frame is shown.
It also shows the number of unique visitors in that same time frame compared to the potential number of
visitors. You might find this of interest if you want to know how many (internal) users actually use your intranet
application. You can couple the user info to the department info and then you can figure out whether
department X or Y is actually using the application.
But I didnot get the actual idea of implementing this in my BSP.
Can you give an explanation for the above ?
