CB's tracker not working?, Eh. Options

[Mistrunner]

I've posted the code both in the CLAF Webstat's box and in my Xanga Skin (at the same time, and also seperately), but nothing is ever logged. Nothing. I know I have visitors because of the comments, but it never logs anything.

Here's my code:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<script type='text/javascript'>
// visitor logger by micron (client-side)
// for more xanga scripts and help go to createblog.com

// your createblog.com username
var createblog = 'Mistrunner';

// your xanga.com username
var xanga = 'Mistrunner';

// adjust timezone (0 is est, -3 is pst)
var offset = 0;

var log = 'http://www.createblog.com/tools/log.php?createblog='+ createblog.toLowerCase() +'&xanga='+ xanga.toLowerCase() +'&offset='+ offset +'&visitor=';

if (location.href.match(xanga.toLowerCase()) && location.href.match('home.aspx')) {
var links = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i=0; i<links.length; i++) {
if (links[i].href.match('http://www.xanga.com') && links[i].innerHTML.match('xanga') && (links[i+2].href.match('/logout.aspx') || links[i+2].href.match('/signin.aspx'))) {
  document.write('<img src="'+ log + links[i+1].innerHTML.toLowerCase() +'" width="0" height="0">');
  break;
}
}
}
</script>
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

If I've missed anything obvious, I apologize. I've been trying to work it out for a week and come up with nothing. Tried searching too, and no one else seems to have a problem.

Did you try putting it as the FIRST thing in your Website Stats?

Topic Moved to Programming Chat
(Webmaster's Corner > Programming)

[Mistrunner]

Yes. In fact, it's the ONLY thing in my Website Stats.

And thanks for moving it.

[whomps]

When did you insert the code? It might take awhile for it to get working.

I went to your xanga and you have xanga premium. I'm not sure if that affects the tracker at all, but it might have something to do with it.

[sweetxsimplicity]

Is this really programming? I mean the tracker is for Xanga, and involves xanga..

[whomps]

Well.. I sorta thought about that and considered that it wasn't really a.. XANGA problem, more like a coding problem.

I referred back to the other topics that involved the tracker, and they were sent to here by other mods so..

I guess if you really consider this a Xanga problem you can move it. There's not really a problem going on with the xanga.. It just involves Createblog's tracker.

I've inserted it and taken it back out a few times the past week, trying to figure out what was wrong. The longest I think it stayed put was for 3 days.

Yeah. ^^ Thats why I tried putting it in the Xanga Skins, because I noticed some of the codes that are made for Website Stats don't work with premium unless you transfer them to the actual skin code.

I'll leave it alone for a few more days and see what happens. I'm hoping Micron might respond to this.

[Pulchritude]

hmmm it might be some codes iny our webstats that are making it disabled maybe but make sure that u post it last in your web stats

[Mistrunner]

It's the only code in my Webstats.

[jordanriane]

Did you sign up for the tracker?

http://www.createblog.com/tools/log.php

To enable the tool, go to the link above and initialize setup. Then copy the code below to Website Stats in your Xanga. Change createBlogUserName with your createBlog.com username and xangaUserName with your Xanga.com username. It won't work otherwise!

[Mistrunner]

Yup! Logs me in and everything, but when I get there, there never are any files.

[greedybunny92]

what did it say when u log in to your tracker thing? Does it said, Invalid user or whatever?

[Mistrunner]

It takes me to the forward page, then:

Last 5 days
There are no logs available. 

[jordanriane]

It's because your code isn't working properly, which you obviously know.

Try PM'ing Mircon about it, since it's his (?) script.

Well, if people are going to your site from subscriptions, it won't log. It only logs those who visit the URL "http://xanga.com/USERNAME" not the url of seperate entries.

I've already gone to her xanga a view times to see what the problem could be, and I was logged into xanga, so it would've logged me if it was working.

[Mistrunner]

^^ Just double checked. You're right; still no logs.

I might search for another logger if thats the case, though. I think most people would end up finding me through friends' subscriptions, negating the intent of a logger, lol.

[no_one_special01]

yea....i really need a tracker but none of them seem to work. help me !!

Mistrunner, your xanga name doesn't have a space in it right?

sitemeter.com - it'll track where people are coming from, but it won't track the usernames of people from xanga, just entry URL pages.

[*mona lisa*]

well, it works for me; i just checked it. erase the whole thing from your codes and try again. it happened to me the first time.

[jordanriane]

http://www.bloggary.com/ just get a tracker from there instead.

2 Trackers/Loggers I know:

http://gottem.net
http://xanga.com/Kaiyotee

Enjoy!

[mydreams]

i dont even know if mine is working. I dont know where to look, how is the log supposed to look like and where is it supposed to be?

[gelionie]

^ please don't bump up old topics, thanks.


You need to become an official member here before the xanga visitor logger actually starts working:

Read through that topic carefully.
