Counter not loading

Dan W · Jul 17, 2003

I built a counter gif, 0-9, evenly spaced, placed it in a folder called
counter, inserted "Component/HitCounter" on home page and saved. Only have
the words hit counter and red x where counter should display. Anyone no why
the counter will not work? FP extensions are on Server, using
FP2000/Win2000. URL; http://www.imagelair.com/encrypt.htm

Steve Easton · Jul 17, 2003

The file path in the hit counter bot is pointing to
your hard drive.

src="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20D
ocuments/My%20Webs/ImageLair/?Page=encrypt.htm|Custom=counter/counter.gif

delete and re-install the hit counter and republish
the page, and it should then look like this:

Dumb question....

Where do you go to read the counter if it is a hidden
counter?

Thanks

Steve Easton · Jul 17, 2003

Open the _private folder and then open
the file named pagename.htm.cnt using notepad.

Steve Easton · Jul 18, 2003

Dan,
Try this:
Open the web in FrontPage, remove the hit counter,
save the page. Then click Tools > Web Settings > Advanced
and click the "Delete files" button under Temporary files.
Reinstall the hit counter and save and see what happens.

If the problem still exists, close the local copy, open the
server copy in FrontPage and delete the hit counter, Save, and
then reinstall the hit counter "live"

That "should" get it working until we can whip this confused web bot
into submission :-)

Steve,

I did as you said, this was the code/path in the FP2000 HTML view tab when I
saved the new hit counter;



When previewed in IE6 this is what I saw;

<img
src="_vti_bin/fpcount.exe/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20D
ocuments/My%20Webs/ImageLair/?Page=encrypt.htm|Custom=counter/counter.gif|Di
gits=6" alt="Hit Counter">


When I did the "live" approach, it worked. Thank you Steve! Now, my
questions is why doesn't the FP2000 normal way of inserting a hit counter
work correctly? I even tried this on a completely different Web and had
exactly the same problem.

Steve Easton · Jul 18, 2003

Dan,

It "appears" that FrontPage doesn't think the web is opened
and is installing the hit counter as if the page is being opened with the
Edit command from Internet Explorer or Windows Explorer, instead
of launching FrontPage and then opening the web using File > Open Web.

That's the only explanation I can come up with for the file path:

C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/ImageLa
ir/

to be installed by the web bot.

Don't shoot me for asking the obvious,
but you are launching FrontPage and then
selecting File > Open Web to edit the page???

Opening the page with "Edit with FrontPage" on
a right click context menu, or from a link in Recent Documents
will cause this behavior.

Even if you are working on the same page, make sure that you always use File
Menu | Open Web before working on any content within your web, since using
File Menu | Recent Files will show you files that may not be in your current
open web.

When you use File Menu | Recent Files, and you select a file, as long as the
file is in the current open FP web, then you should not have a problem,
however the File Menu | Recent Files list will show recent files open from
other webs, as well as the current open web.

Try the following, directly in FP, open your live site on the remote server,
create a new page, save the page, then open the page by double clicking it
in the Folder list, then insert Hit counter, save page, then File Menu |
Preview in Browser. Does the hit counter display and increment correctly?

Dan,

In general FP will adjust the path to it's components when publishing, since
the structure of your local PC will be different from that of the server you
are publishing to. In most cases this should not be an issue.

However in your case it seem like FP is not able to set the path during
publishing correctly, this could be how you have you local web set up, how
you access them, etc., it could be anything. You might want to try doing a
repair of your current install.

Thanks Guys,

I got my counter working now but I would like to know how you reset it back
to zero when you want to start a new count?
Using FP 2002.

Thanks,
Ed.

Dan,

In general FP will adjust the path to it's components when publishing, since
the structure of your local PC will be different from that of the server you
are publishing to. In most cases this should not be an issue.

However in your case it seem like FP is not able to set the path during
publishing correctly, this could be how you have you local web set up, how
you access them, etc., it could be anything. You might want to try doing a
repair of your current install.

Yes Thomas, that works. Of course inserting the counter "live"on the server
worked when I tried it per Steve's instructions. But that does not answer
the question, why doesn't it work without changing the path/code in FP2000
after it is saved, published and viewed in IE6?

Open the live site directly in FP, then in the _private folder, locate a
file with the name of your page, pagename.htm.cnt, right click, select open
in notepad, then change the number, but do not change the number of digits.
