Hi Ian, James,
Seems we are getting more info now.
OK, so you can't map html to cf. So your choices are PERL,PHP or whatever
cgi your provider allows. If they don't allow cgi you could still use the
image route and do it using JavaScript as suggested by Ian. You can gather
all the info you need from JavaScript and put this into new image() and set
the src to the coldFusion page you want. Ian's code below actually shows
you how to do this. Nice work Ian. Here is another example:
NOTE: I have not tested this so there may be syntax errors. Also note the
spelling of referrer. In cgi it is incorrectly spelt with one r.
script language=javascript
newImg = new image(1,1) // Creates a new image
var infoNeeded = ?referrer= + document.referer // Sets infoNeeded to
?referrer=theReferringDocument
infoNeeded = infoNeeded + port= + document.port // appends any other
needed info to infoNeeded
// This code will make the src for the new image call a CF page. This page
should return an image.
// the code on this page can do whatever you want with the info passed.
newImage.src=http://yourdomain.com/yourColdFusionPage.cfm; + infoNeeded
//This code will run when the page is loaded, or you can put it in a
function and call it with onLoad in the body tag.
/script

Ian, My case is also the the index.html file is on a non CF box. How do
you do what you do? You capture the same information I'm looking for?

This won't work if the file is an index.html file - your server won't
recognize the pound signs.
We've gotten around this using Javascript:
!--- begin XED clickthru measurement script ---
script language=javascript
function PageQuery(q) {
if(q.length 1) this.q = q.substring(1, q.length);
else this.q = null;
this.keyValuePairs = new Array();
if(q) {
for(var i=0; i this.q.split().length; i++) {
this.keyValuePairs[i] = this.q.split()[i];
}
}
this.getKeyValuePairs = function() { return this.keyValuePairs; }
this.getValue = function(s) {
for(var j=0; j this.keyValuePairs.length; j++) {
if(this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[0] == s)
return this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[1];
}
return false;
}
this.getParameters = function() {
var a = new Array(this.getLength());
for(var j=0; j this.keyValuePairs.length; j++) {
a[j] = this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[0];
}
return a;
}
this.getLength = function() { return this.keyValuePairs.length; }
}
function queryString(key){
var page = new PageQuery(window.location.search);
return unescape(page.getValue(key));
}
function displayItem(key){
if(queryString(key)=='false')
{
var me = 1;
}
else
{
var nnn = queryString(key);
document.write('img
src=http://blahblahblah/recorder/clickrecorder.cfm?ID=' + nnn +
'page=home width=1 height=1');
}
}
displayItem('ID');
/script
You can rebuild this, I think, to grab the referring page...

This won't work if the file is an index.html file - your server won't
recognize the pound signs.
We've gotten around this using Javascript:
!--- begin XED clickthru measurement script ---
script language=javascript
function PageQuery(q) {
if(q.length 1) this.q = q.substring(1, q.length);
else this.q = null;
this.keyValuePairs = new Array();
if(q) {
for(var i=0; i this.q.split().length; i++) {
this.keyValuePairs[i] = this.q.split()[i];
}
}
this.getKeyValuePairs = function() { return this.keyValuePairs; }
this.getValue = function(s) {
for(var j=0; j this.keyValuePairs.length; j++) {
if(this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[0] == s)
return this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[1];
}
return false;
}
this.getParameters = function() {
var a = new Array(this.getLength());
for(var j=0; j this.keyValuePairs.length; j++) {
a[j] = this.keyValuePairs[j].split(=)[0];
}
return a;
}
this.getLength = function() { return this.keyValuePairs.length; }
}
function queryString(key){
var page = new PageQuery(window.location.search);
return unescape(page.getValue(key));
}
function displayItem(key){
if(queryString(key)=='false')
{
var me = 1;
}
else
{
var nnn = queryString(key);
document.write('img
src=http://blahblahblah/recorder/clickrecorder.cfm?ID=' + nnn +
'page=home width=1 height=1');
}
}
displayItem('ID');
/script
You can rebuild this, I think, to grab the referring page...

Use an image tag. The src= can be your CF code which returns a gif. Gif
could be transparent. Pass all your user info to the cf page.
Ex:cfoutput
img

RE: Issue: Update a tracker database with an index.html file.
Hi James,
The script below parses the page query string and builds a list of
field:value pairs. It then builds an IMG
SRC=http://addressofcftemplateonanotherserverhere; tag that calls the CFM
template, which is hosted on ANOTHER server that supports CF.
Here's the gist - let's say www.portentinteractive.com is not on a CF
server. Our measurement software is on another server which DOES support
CF - the script that records each click is called clickerrecorder.cfm. So,
we include the script below in the index.html page.
Then, if you go to http://www.portentinteractive.com/index.html?ID=4, the
script writes img src=http://www.servername.com/clickrecorder.cfm?ID=4;
into the page, which then calls the .cfm template on .
If you need to record the referrer, I'm pretty sure you can grab the
referrer using Javascript and then use the script below to build img
src=http://www.servername.com/yourcfmpage.cfm?referrer=thepageyoucamefrom;
.
Does that make sense? I hope this helps...
Ian

Re: Issue: Update a tracker database with an index.html file.
Hi Ian, James,
Seems we are getting more info now.
OK, so you can't map html to cf. So your choices are PERL,PHP or whatever
cgi your provider allows. If they don't allow cgi you could still use the
image route and do it using JavaScript as suggested by Ian. You can gather
all the info you need from JavaScript and put this into new image() and set
the src to the coldFusion page you want. Ian's code below actually shows
you how to do this. Nice work Ian. Here is another example:
NOTE: I have not tested this so there may be syntax errors. Also note the
spelling of referrer. In cgi it is incorrectly spelt with one r.
script language=javascript
newImg = new image(1,1) // Creates a new image
var infoNeeded = ?referrer= + document.referer // Sets infoNeeded to
?referrer=theReferringDocument
infoNeeded = infoNeeded + port= + document.port // appends any other
needed info to infoNeeded
// This code will make the src for the new image call a CF page. This page
should return an image.
// the code on this page can do whatever you want with the info passed.
newImage.src=http://yourdomain.com/yourColdFusionPage.cfm; + infoNeeded
//This code will run when the page is loaded, or you can put it in a
function and call it with onLoad in the body tag.
/script

Isaac Dealey wrote: I've never gotten SSI to kick off a .cfm page successfully, how did you do this Isaac or .. are you just suggesting this without having tried this for yosuelf? No, it's an assumption. I know that it works with PERL and ASP files ... It's actually the only way that ASP can process included files, which sucks ( for them ) because it means that includes are always processed prior to any logical operators, etc. so dynamic inclusion isn't actually dynamic. But because PERL files given the .pl ( or I'm guessing also .cgi ) extension are ( or can be ) run through the PERL interpreter when they're included this way, I would imagine there's got to be a way to do this with cfm's ... I don't know all the specifics tho, 'cause I've never personally had cause to or been asked to set it up.
