Keeping track of user views

Is there a simple way to implement which user(s) (if any) have viewed a specific link? I am trying to enhance a report by allowing the user to determine:
a) if no one has viewed the information contained within a record of the report
b) if it has been viewed, list the users that have viewed it and the time they viewed it
c) if I have viewed the link in a prior login.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can check out the Discussion Forum application on Sourceforge or here (under Packaged Applications). It's 'similar' to this application.
You might also want to check out the reports built-in to Apex already. Log in to the 'INTERNAL' workspace as the ADMIN user, and search around. It's hard for me to see right now, so I don't want to browse around myself and try to find it, but what you want is there. A bit of looking and analyzing will get you pointed to the same sets of tables Apex already uses to track these. You also might want to look at Vikas' example, where he installed the Apex tables as a view-only app, so you can see what's being used where and how.

  • Keeping track of users over different apps

    Hi folks,
    I haven't seen much on this question. How do you keep track of users across apps? If I log a user in using a 'login' app and then want to move them to another app, how do I keep track of their username (or some other identifier)?
    I just read that each app uses it's own session.
    Any advice is very much appreciated!

    I haven't done it much myself, but you CAN do cross-context calls.
    There is a method in ServletContext: getServletContext( String context)
    eg
    application.getServletContext("/login") would get you the servletContext of the "login" application
    From that you can get a request dispatcher, and forward them to a page under that context. You could also pass information back and forth via the application layer.
    To do this, you need to explicitly specify an app can make cross-context calls (part of the setup for the web context).
    eg in Tomcat
    <Context path="/login" docBase="login" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" >
    Hope this helps some,

  • Keep track of user logins and time

    Is there any way to track users on our xserve quad xeon...such as login date and times?

    Hello, tinafromrandolph, and welcome to the AppleBoards,
    What services are you interested in keeping track of? AFP, for instance, logging can be set to monitor anything from login/out times to file actions.
    You would need to parse the log data in some way if you were looking to make a regular report or something like that, but that's true of about any log file you want to investigate. It largely depends on what service(s) you want to monitor and how detailed their logging is, but a lot of stuff is or can be logged.
    If you are more specific there may be more detailed help people can provide.

    logging from same system or different..
    anyone with an idea why it is happening , pls help.

    login.jsp
    Cookie cookie1=new Cookie("username",username);
    cookie1.setMaxAge(3600);
    cookie1.setPath("/");
    response.addCookie(cookie1);
    home.jsp
    String cookieName1 = "username";
    Cookie cookies[] =request.getCookies();
    Cookie myCookie1 = null;
    if (cookies != null)
    for (int f = 0; f < cookies.length; f++)
    if (cookies [f].getName().equals (cookieName1))

  • Keeping track of user changes

    Hello All,
    I have an application containing various screens. The concern is that each screen has various fields. The requirement is that if the user has edited any field and instead of clicking the save button, user clicks on another item in the menu, the system should warn the user about unsaved contents. Can someone give some inputs about how to proceed?

    You will have to set a flag when ever a field change occurs. Clear the flag when the user clicks on the save button, then at the menu level check the flag - if the flag is set do your thing with warning the user.
    The only other way would be to keep the origional values of all the fields when the screen(s) initially start and save them again when the user saves them. When the user clicks on the menu check the current field values against the saved values - if there is a change warn the user.
    Note you will need to be careful and make sure the screen(s) are still open when when checking at the menu level.

  • Keeping track of user selections - button highlights

    Hello, I would like to be able to make an audio setup menu (3 tracks) and when a user returns to the menu, the button for that track will already be selected.
    With other authoring programs I would use a GPRM script, but Encore doesn't have scripting/GPRM tracking as far as I know.  Is there another way to do this?
    Example:
    English 5.1
    Spanish 2.0
    French 2.0
    User selects French 2.0, watches a few clips and wants Enlish instead.  When he returns to the menu, he sees this:
    English 5.1
    Spanish 2.0
    French 2.0
    Thanks!

    I have not used it, but see "Indicate the active audio or subtitle track" here:

  • Tracking VPN user connectivity

    Is there an easy way on the ASA to track user connectivity statistics? I have found that I can get a syslog record when a user connects / disconnects but am looking for an elegant way to track a bit more. On the old Concentrator there used to be a log entry when a user disconnected that gave things like time connected and the amount of data transferred. I would like to figure out a way to duplicate this on the ASA and maybe even add the IP addressed they received from the DHCP pool? I though this might be part of accounting but that appears to be more for radius integration than keeping track of user usage.
    Thoughts or suggestions on how to accomplish this?
    Brent

    Cisco Security Manager product collects and stores such information (along with a lot of other things). It's a pretty hefty product though and probably more than you want to spend for doing just that one thing.
    You can use a general purpose SNMP management tool like PRTG to grab all the data as well. I know it has out of the box sensors for Cisco ASA VPN connections and users. I'm not sure if it also collects the amount of data transferred.

  • Keeping track of visitors

    Hi- I've recently posted a blog on the imac site. Is there any way to keep track of who views the site? Thanks very much.
    Joel

    One way is to add the iWeb/Apple counter within iWeb.
    Counts for your top five/five most recently updated
    pages will be shown on your .Mac login page.
    Another way is to add Statcounter, post publishing,
    however this will make your blog comments stop
    working if you have this enabled.

    By "blog comments" are you referring to the comments that readers can add, or to updates that I'd upload? Thanks for your help.

  • How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

    Hi All,
    I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
    I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
    Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
    You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
    You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
    Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out

  • How to keep track of views of a particular mysql entry

    I have a dynamic website through php and mysql. How do I get my website to keep track of the amount of views each entry got (and for the amount of views to be recorded in my mysql table? Is there an easy way to do this with dreamweaver?

    i do have a column for views but i have do not know how the results would be inputed.
    how do i use that "update statement" you mentioned to input increment view amounts in my column?
    table_name has column for views.
    page is a column in table that is used to dynamically display content based on title in URL parameter ie
    website.com/?page=home
    website.com/?page=about_us
    etc.
    Use query to update views+1 where page = the URL parameter that is entered into address bar to display the dynamic page content.
    $page = "-1";
    if (isset($_GET['page'])) {
    $page = $_GET['page'];
    $query_hits = sprintf("UPDATE table_name
    SET views = views+1
    WHERE page = %s", GetSQLValueString($page, "text"));
    $hits = mysql_query($query_hits, $connection) or die(mysql_error());

  • Keep track of the shopping cart for anonymous user

    Hi,
    I have the following problem on b2c site. Anonymous user can browse through the site and adds items to the shopping cart. At the checkout the login page is prompted, however login page is located on the different application server where the actual login happening. After that control is returned to my server where I need to create login object and associate the shopping cart with it. My problem is how to maintain shopping cart without losing it.
    I came with that solution : On checkout attach shopping cart to context object with unique key, then pass this unique key to the remote server, then remote server passes it back to me together with the login id, then I create new session and attach shopping cart to it after retrieving shopping cart from the context.
    I hope it will work, however I think there is a standard solution for this type of the problems. Any ideas, hints, suggestions are strongly appreciated.
    We use WebLogic 9.0 and Servlets.

    Do you have a problem keeping track of the shopping cart for a user who is logged in? No, I didn't think so. So give the anonymous user an internal name, just for your own convenience. Then keep track of the shopping cart for the user with that name. You already know how to do that.

  • Keeping track of workgroup users

    Hi
    We are currently looking for an effective way of identify all of our workgroup users.
    With offline sites, it is obviously much easier to identify them as they all have a site in admin console but for workgroup we are finding that people are being missed out on updates etc because install records are sometimes not maintained.
    The best way that I can think of at the moment is by comparing SMOUSERS with SMOHSITEID on our worrkgroup server, but I notice also that there is a table called SMOUSERCATEGORY, which is currently empty in our system.
    Does anyone know what fills this table or does anyone have any better ideas?
    Regards
    James

    Hi Vivek
    Hope you are well
    The issue that we face is keeping track of who has actually got workgroup installed.
    Scenario:
    - We have a new MUP that needs to be applied to all clients
    - We send it via conntrans to all offline clients
    - We send an email with a link to a batch file which triggers the MUP for all workgroup users....
    but we do not necessarily know all of the users that have workgroup client installed! THAT is the problem.
    A manual record of all installs is maintained in a list currrently, but sometimes people get new PC's or someone forgets to update the list (sometimes it is even installed by IT support guys without our knowledge)
    We DO have SMS running on all machines which returns very detailed information about the software loaded onto each machine (including all program files), so I guess I am asking if the workgroup installation has any files that are different (ie recognisably workgroup) from a normal offline installation.
    Alternatively, a way of being able to identify all Mobile Sales users in the gui which can then be compared with SMOHSITEID to remove the offline users.
    Sorry for the wordy response

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back
