Well, if I were doing it by hand, every time they came to the site I would set this_visit, and then set last_visit (or last_seen, or whatever) to the previous value of this_visit, and I would only do it once, when they first come to the site.
Problem is two-fold.. 1) I don't have a central point to route them through to do this one time only, and 2) when I've tried the this_visit/last_visit swap, I got errors (key errors, as I recall) On Jan 30, 11:16 am, "Chris Brand" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The problem is that it resets when the visitor first comes to the page. > > > In other words, when I go to the site first thing in the morning > > > last_seen resets to NOW.But that's exactly what your code says : > > > > l = request.session['last_seen'] > > > last = now -l > > > # don't update it too often, every 4 hours should be ok > > > if last.seconds > (60 * 60 * 4): > > > request.session['last_seen'] = > > > datetime.datetime.now()i.e. If it's more than 4 hours after the > > > "last_seen" time, change the "last > seen" time to "now". > > I think you need to think about your algorithm.
