Adding a counter

[amciotola]

One of my friends, whom I've skined cube cart for, would like a counter to be displayed on the front page. While I've tried to talk her out of it, she really wants one.

Any suggestions on how I can add one.

I've tried adding a php based text counter. The only place I can get it to show is under the cubecart/devellion copyright.

Where do you want it?? You can put it anywhere with a little bit of work, (maybe), but need a little more info

Hi there,

By the front page, I meant the homepage. I guess I'm not putting the code in the correct file.

I also thought that maybe I need to add another content box just for the counter.

Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Look at template styleTemplates/global/index.tpl under your prefered skin folder, open it and modify, add code below after {CATEGORIES}

<div class="boxTitleRight">Counter</div>

<div class="boxContentRight">

Add you script for the counter here

</div>

<div class="boxFootRight">&nbsp;</div>

Hope this works :whistle:

Well the script that I'm using for my counter is offered through my webhost, so it won't reallly work for you.

However if you go to http://www.sitemeter.com/ and sign up for one of their free accounts then it would work great. Just follow the insrtuctions provided above and you should be in good shape! :w00t:

Thanks for the help. I get the counter box, but when I add

<?php require "../../../counter/phpcounter.php"; ?>

(I'm actually using the full absolute path .. it's working on www.acpcrepair.com)

it does not show up.

vrakas, you are realy success with this piece of code

moderator? wow, cong. since ....... ?

it does not show up

because php code inside tpl is NOT parsed.

Generally - any script 'inserted' by include or require is running in folder where father script file resides - that means, if inserted sript resides in different folder than father script, relative paths within both directs to different place.

Finnaly - *.tpl isnt default extension for php parser (parse tpl with php parser is NOT recomended), template is html like, with template variables. if you want to display final counter, you have to write your own code, parsing your counter into template {VARAIBLE}.
