Hit Counter on iWeb 08

After I published my page with iWeb 08 the hit counter disappeared from my site. It is still there in iWeb just not in the published site.
Is there a way to get it to work again? If I delete it and put it back in is there a way to start it at a given number so I don't have to start at zero again?

You might want to see if it is just a problem with Safari caching. Sometimes Safari draws on the cache instead of updating the page correctly. You can fix this in several ways. This is probably the easiest:
Open Safari
In the 'Safari' menu choose 'empty cache'
Go to your web site and see if the counter appears.

No Hit Counter with iWeb 08

I just got iWeb 08 and added a new article to my blog. After publishing, I find that all my Hit counters are gone from my iWeb pages (still present on my old "Public Folder" page though).
What happened?

Judging from a few of the postings here, I'm afraid to ask: Have my Hit counters been reset to zero? That's what they show now. Now, let me confess that when I upgraded to the new iWeb, I redesigned some of the templates. In that process, I temporarily removed the Hit counters that were on the site previously (created with the previous version of iWeb)
Now I place the Hit Counters on the new pages -- all have been reset to Zero. That mean all my hit data is lost? I thought the hit data was somehow stored by the program in a data file, and that the "hit counter" was simply a graphic field that let you vew the Hits. -- david in KC

How do you track hits on hit counter in iWeb?

I have been creating a personal poetry website on iWeb and I am fairly new to Mac in general. I found the Hit Counter button and added it to every page on my website. My question is how do I see how many hits i have? The hit counter does not show up on my published site.

The hit counter only appears when you publish to MobileMe.
Search the iWeb Help for ftp to learn what else is not supported.
There are lots of alternative counters you can use.

Hit Counter in iweb 08 homepage

How can I get hit counts to show up in mypages? This feature stopped working when I upgraded to 08. I want to see my hits without visitors seeing them.
Thanks,

You could look at Google Analytics although this may be more than you want....

Hit Counter on iWeb

Is there any way to track hits on my site without putting that ugly hit counter on my page? - A way that only I can see and no one else?

There are many ways to hide .mac hit counter, see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1423294&tstart=25
and here is javascript way, just add the following to your page using HTML Snippet:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.getElementById('CounterDiv').style.visibility = 'hidden';
</script>

IWEb hit counter look alike

I just recently migrated from idisk to a FTP server and am looking for a new hit counter. I've grown accustomed to the look of the hit counter that iWeb provided. Can anyone lead me to a similar looking hit counter that iWeb uses?

Find a free counter that has numerals similar to those in the iWeb conter and add it to your webpage. Then place a text box over it and add the frame that looks closest to the frame around the iWeb counter. This demo page has a quick rough example of that concept except the numerals are from my counter: HelperSite2 Page-1

Hit Counter For Web Site

I've published a site to .Mac for a friend, and her domain name, which is hosted on godaddy is being forwarded to the .mac site. I'm using masking so only her domain name shows in the address bar of each page. That's all working well.
I've added a hit counter through iweb to the first page but it won't show up when I go to the site by using the domain name. If I go to it using the .mac address it shows up. What's odd is if I go to the site first by using the .mac address where the counter always shows up then go to the site by putting in the domain name it will then show up there as well. If I go to the site again later by the domain name-no counter. If I repeat this by using the .mac address first then going back, it's there.
I read other past posts about this issue but I didn't see if it could be completely resolved. I normally use Safari but even when I use Firefox it doesn't show up either.
Can anyone help?
John

John:
If you added the hit counter from within iWeb then that's the reason it doesn't show up. It will only work on the .Mac server.
What you need to do is use StatCounter.com. It requires some post publication editing of the page that you want the counter on. If you make changes to the page later on then you'll have to reedit the page again.
What has been suggested is to put a text box with "STATCOUNTER" in it where you want the counter to appear. Then in the post publication file, search for STATCOUNTER and replace it with the code that the site provides you.
With that you can get daily, weekly hits, a world map of where the hits came from and lots more. There's a variety of text or image counters.
In this site, Old Toad's Tutorials I put the STATCOUNTER in the main text box at the bottom and make the text orange. When I added the counter, it comes up in the text and color that I chose. If you put it in it's own text box, you can use the stye that StatCounter provides when you set up the counter.

How does the hit counter work?

hi
a while ago i made a web site with a hit counter on it
i wrote the hit counter using php and a flat text file to store the number of hits
i experienced a number of problems
1. if someone visited the site more than once, the hit counter would go up each time they visited. this is not really desired as i really only want to know how many unique hits i get
2. web bots and web crawlers would also make the counter go up
does the hit counter that iweb generates suffer from this problem?
how does it work - from total hits or only unique hits?
does anyone know it web crawlers effect the counter?
thanks!

It is a hit counter and will register even when you visit the website.
I found this annoying, so I ditched the iWeb hit counter and went to Bravenet and downloaded a visit counter instead. You can customise your design and can have a visit counter instead of a hit counter and you can also set it to ignore your own hits - so if you want to visit your site to see how it looks it won't register your hit. The hit counter will register each time and for every page, whereas a visit counter will just register the visit to the first page and then thats it. If you use Bravenet it will give you stats too.
I am sure you can get hit counters and visit counters from lots of other sources though.

Hit Counter shows a question mark?

OK, I went to several of the discussion pages to learn how to add a hit counter.
This is what I did:
1) go to INSERT menu and click on "button" then slide down to "hit button"
2) A item shows up with a question mark in the middle and nothing else.
What am I suppose to do with the question mark in the box? I tried to play with it in finding out what is its purpose and what had it got to do with my website in trying to create a hit counter in iWeb. Yes I do have Mobileme account.

I solved the problem

IWeb Hit Counter Widget

My counting widget has disappeared from the widget list in iWeb. I deleted it from my page. How do I get it back?

Try using the Insert->Button->Hit Counter menu option. If that fails then you might have to reinstall iWeb from the disk it came on. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Reinstall iWeb and apply the latest updaters.

Views Counts on iWeb Hit Counter

Is there any way to view the number of counts for a page using the iWeb-provided hit counter without going to the actual published page and thereby 'hitting' the site? My .mac account site provides a hit count for my iWeb pages but only for the top 5 pages. How can I see the count for all pages? Thanks.

Welcome to the discussions, Tatnall.
No, there isn't currently a way to see the count of any page (without visiting it)outside your top 5 using the .Mac counters.
Many users who need more information have taken to applying other counters to their pages like StatCounter.

The iWeb hit counter on Tue, Oct 10, 2006 9:00 AM PST

Tue, Oct 10, 2006 8:58 AM PST
Is everyone else with the iWeb hit counter getting a white question mark in a blue box? My hit counter has been out ever since yesterday afternoon. For a brief time it reappeared and now it is gone again.
Thank you.
Lorna in Southern California

The counters are back now, but hits made during the outage don't seem to have counted (there were no cookies from my iWeb pages at that time). There is more on this on another thread.
By the way, Lorna, I didn't answer your last question to me some time ago - my Japanese is far from fluent, but I get by.

IWEB HIT COUNTER RESET

Does anyone know how to reset your hit counter?

Since you only publish the StatCounter code to your main page, all you have to do is to find the mainpage.html file (either on your iDisk or to your folder, depending on how you publish). Open this file with some sort of text editor like Microsoft Word....then scroll all the way to the bottom of all the html code. You will see the last two statements on the page </body></html>. Just put your cursor right before the </body></html> and paste your StatCounter code right there. That way you won't have to use iWeb Enhancer to do it for you, and maybe you avoid the conflict with the Apple counter that you are having. Just an idea...
