Can someone tell me if you can site meter to pixle post?

I think you're missing a verb in that statement. I'm going to assume the verb is 'add' and say yes. You can add site meter to pixelpost. They will provide you with code to stick into your site. All you have to do is paste the code they provide into the template(s) for the page(s) you want to track.

If however the verb you meant is 'tickle', well then I can't help you. You'll have to figure it out on your own.

So if I want to track each image that I post with site meter I have to add the code to each new page every time I post?

Can you tell me specifically where I am to place this code if I want my images tracked?

No, pixelpost dynamically generates the page view. Each image has a unique id so that the page is loaded as http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?showimage=1, http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?showimage=2 ... http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?showimage=n. Most statistics programs are smart enough to recognize these as different pages.

Without knowing any of the specifics, like what template you're using, I can't be too specific. Generally, though, you would add the code to pixelpostfolder/templates/yourtemplatename/image_template.html. You'll need to follow the site meter instructions for where exactly the code goes on the page. If they say to put it in the header then it would go somewhere between the <head> and </head> tags. If they say put it at the bottom of the page, then it would usually go right before the </body> tag.

This is my photoblog address: http://www.kristenritchie.com//index.php
v1.7.1

Perhaps you can tell me what template I'm using based on seeing my blog. (I thought I was getting a specific template, but it looks like I got something else and I don't know its name).

Based on the above information perhaps you can tell me exactly what folder I am to put the information you shared with me. Site meter does say to put the code in between the headers, but I don't know exactly where that is to go.

many thanks

open templates/simple/image_template.html

The head of the document looks like this

HTML Code:

<head>
<title><SITE_TITLE> - <SUB_TITLE></title>
<!-- Link for FEED autodiscovery -->
<FEED_AUTO_DISCOVERY>
<!-- META -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" name="keywords" content="PhotoBlog,<SITE_TITLE>,<IMAGE_TITLE>,Pixelpost" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" name="description" content="<SITE_TITLE>-PhotoBlog: <IMAGE_TITLE>, <IMAGE_NOTES_CLEAN>" />
<!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/simple/styles/light.css" title="light" />
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="templates/simple/styles/dark.css" title="dark" />
<!-- SCRIPTS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="templates/simple/scripts/styleswitcher.js"></script>

</head>

Notice the <head> and </head> tags.

The best place to put the site meter code is going to be right after this

HTML Code:

<!-- SCRIPTS -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="templates/simple/scripts/styleswitcher.js"></script>

but before this

HTML Code:

</head>

When I go to templates/simple/image_template, I don't get the code you sent.
I get a screen that says:

Home/Browse/About
Site Style: Light/Dark
Valid HTML Valid CSS

You must open this file in a simple TEXT editor (EG: Notepad for Windows, Textedit for MAC).

DO NOT open in MS Word or the like.

Right! Should have thought of that!

Okay, so I've done as you suggested. I added JavaScript HTML in the areas you indicated and then uploaded the file to my public_html.
When I go to my blog I don't see the site meter logo anywhere and when I check my account it's not tracking my visits.
I've tried regular HTML with the same results.

Any ideas?

**dakwegmo**+ · #10 02-03-2008, 12:44 AM

I'm looking at your page and there's no site-meter code in the template. Go ahead and upload the template with the changes so we can check it.
