Number of site displays
28 October 2010 at 7:34am
Hi,
I'm looking for code similar to http://silverstripe.org/general-questions/show/13811
but I'd like to count number of visitors for whole page, so if someone visit Page 1, Page 2 and Page 3 it will be counted as "one visit", and I'd like to diplay this number on every Page.Thanks

Hi,
Solution could be decorating your siteconfig with variable and using this for incrementing
on every hit but i think this will eventually slow down your site. -

I had idea to add variable to Page beacuse every page in my site extends Page - the variable will be number of visits.
Then in Page_Controller I will add function silmilar to
function init() {
parent::init();
if( ?? cookie or session variable doesn't exist ?? ) {
?? create session or cookie ??
$this->Visits++;
$this->write();
}
}This one incrementing Visits every time when page is displayed and Session or Cookie does not exist
// then the query to return number of visits in template
function Visits() {
return DataObject::get(?? Visists ??);
}I'm begginer in SS and Sapphire.
Could anyone helped?
I'd like to anyone helped me with code between question marks
Thanks -

You can use the Cookie class to save / read cookies http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/sapphire/misc/Cookie.html. You could also use the session class but cookies might work better.
For the function to get the visits you won't need to use a DataObject::get() since you already have the page object. Using $Visits or $this->Visits (if you're in the PHP) will output the number.

yes, but the problem is that $Visits variable should be over the Page class, because I want to create site visits couter, not page visits counter. When I put $Visits in Page class it will count only for specific obect of Page class.

You could either make a database table (or use one like SiteConfig) which is global, an easier way would be to keep visits on the page instances and create a function like
function TotalVisits() {
return DB::query("SELECT SUM(Visits) FROM Page_Live")->value();
}So $TotalVisits will be the value for all the visitors and $Visits will still be the value for the individual page (in case you need to track it).

Thanks Willr,
I did like this:In class Page
public static $db = array(
'ShowInTopMenu' => 'Boolean',
'ShowInLeftMenu' => 'Boolean',
'ShowInLeftMenu2' => 'Boolean',
'visits' => 'Int'
);In class Page_Controller
function totalVisits()
{
return DB::query("SELECT SUM(visits) FROM page_live")->value();
}
public function init()
{
parent::init();Requirements::themedCSS('layout');
Requirements::themedCSS('typography');
Requirements::themedCSS('form');$this->visits++;
$this->write();
}And in template the $totalVisits variable show 0. I think that this line >> $this->visits++; << does not work because in database I noticed that whatever page I display value of visits is always 0.
Please, help where is the mistake.
Thanks! -

Its possible that $this->visits++; is saving to the record in the Page table (rather than Page_Live). So check out the Page table to see if it contains the values.
