Counter

[Jim in Arizona]

I've been looking for a counting script to count the number of hits to my
HTM and asp web pages on my company's internal website. So far, everything
I've seen only works on asp pages. Where would I find some counter code to
record hits on htm(l) as well as asp pages?

I'm using IIS 5.0.

Thanks.

This NG is an ASP forum, so I will try an asp answer.

In IIS you can set .htm and .html extension files to act like .asp files
and be processed by the asp engine.

btw, why don't you simply change the extension of your .htm file to .asp ?

Have you looked into using the IIS logs and stats software for this?

I will probably change all the extensions, eventually, but the site is too
large to take the time to do that right now. I've got over 5000 htm files on
the site and they're all linked to other htm files. It's going to requre
some considerable resources to make the change.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Ray. I will look into that!

But clearly you will need to touch all of them to add your counter, right?
Assuming you parse htm/html docs with asp.dll, you could condense the
solution to a single #include insertion.

Another thing that could make this easier is FrontPage. When you rename
a file using FrontPage & the FrontPage server extensions (I'm not sure
how it works in 2003 since they dumped the server extensions) all HTML
links point to the new file name. Of course that is just a thought.

Include this in the body of all your HTML pages where you want the counter
to appear:

<SCRIPT SRC="counter.asp" LANGUAGE="javascript"></SCRIPT>

When processed, counter.asp *must* return a javascript formatted file to the
calling HTML page. You can do your counter housework in ASP, and then use
javascript to write the output.


---- COUNTER.ASP
<%
Response.Expires = 0
' do counter stuff here, and store it in strPageCount
%>
// this is the javascript
document.write('<%=strPageCount%> visits to this page');
end ----------------------

Just use a text editor with "search/replace in files" capability, such
as UltraEdit, to do a find for .htm and replace with .asp
