[jQuery] Re: Getting user agent stats with jQuery...

[Felix Geisendörfer]

We wouldn't use it in "real-time" but we would need to be able to store that data ourselves and not just access it via their interface. You can aggregate and store it yourself. I wrote some code a while back that does that (it's for the CakePHP framework but could be decoupled from it or alternatively rewritten in any other language). http://www.thinkingphp.org/2006/06/19/google-analytics-php-api-cakephp-model/ -- Felix -------------------------- My Blog: http://www.thinkingphp.org My Business: http://www.fg-webdesign.de Andy Matthews wrote: We wouldn't use it in "real-time" but we would need to be able to store that data ourselves and not just access it via their interface.   Is that still possible?

If you are only interested in storing the data (not using it real time) you may want to look into google analytics. http://www.google.com/analytics/ It has lots of info including browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, colors, flash version, java version, and lots more. It has a very slick interface. Best of all it's free! Aaron Andy Matthews wrote: My company currently uses a product called BrowserHawk, a combination of _javascript_ and Java files, to get a set of user data which we then store in our database. Currently this data set includes Flash player version, OS, Browser (and version), Screen Res, and more. The drawback is that this software is expensive, around $1000 per server (we have 3 right now), and we're not fully using the data it provides to us anyway.   I know that jQuery core can provide browser (and version?), and I also know that you can get screen res with the dimensions plugin. I'm wondering if anyone has considered writing a jQuery plugin which mimics this behavior, returning an object containing user agent information.   Alternately, does anyone know of some reliable piece of software which does this same sort of thing, but maybe cheaper?   Thanks for the input. ____________________________________   Andy Matthews Senior ColdFusion Developer Office:  877.707.5467 x747 Direct:  615.627.9747 Fax:  615.467.6249 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dealerskins.com
