MS Analysis and Google Tap

It seems that my GT modules do not register anymore in MS Analysis. Is this the case for everyone, or am I just the special person. Is there a fix?

musox,

my modules are still functional under the GT. Do you have a url where we can surf to ?

greetz,

I have the same issue. When a user clicks on a GT'd link it does not register in some areas of MS-Analysis (Last page visits is one of them). I started a thread on matyscripts.com about it. He is aware of the issue, but I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done about it.

Maybe you want to try putting the MS-Analysis line in your footer above your GT entries in the footer, if it is not already there. Don't know if this would have any effect, but its a guess.

Just checked my footer. The MS-Analysis require() line is above the GT lines.

In case anyone wants to see what I'm talking about:

Under the module column, the blank fields are GT'd links.

if it is already above the GT lines, maybe you want to move it below instead. Hmmmm, looks like we have to add this one to the list for now. I don't have time to check it out right now unfortunately.

NP. As far as I'm concerned, it's more of an annoyance than a real issue.

Looked at the file modules/MS_Analysis/mstrack.php at the CVS and found what the issue is.

Here's the code that's pulling the module name:

Code:

// Get Module Name which is activated
$moduleurl = substr( stristr( getenv( "REQUEST_URI" ), 'name='), 5 );
$tok = strtok( $moduleurl, "&" );
$moduleurl = eregi_replace( "_", " ", $tok );
$moduleurl = trim( $moduleurl );

This section of code will need to be modified to handle tapped URL's. I'll see what I can come up with, but not being a PHP wizard, don't expext too much Smile

I haveing this problem as well.

Modules that have been GT'd are not listed... their counted, but not listed.

Modules that have not been GT'd are still listed in MS Analysis.

It not a huge deal because its all still being counted, but I can't see where anyone is... or what the 75 crawlers that came last night indexed.

Thanks.

I came up with a hack to work around this issue for MSA 1.1. It involves changing the function get_modulename() in modules/MS_Analysis/include/class.client.php. It's probably not the best way to do it (like I said, I'm no PHP expert) but it gets the results I was looking for.

If a user clicks on a GT'd link, MS-Analysis will record the link instead of the module name. You can see the results here:

http://nuke.schoper.net/modules.php?name=MS_Analysis&file=online

In modules/MS_Analysis/include/class.client.php:

Find code:

Code:

function get_modulename()
{
$moduleurl = substr( stristr( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'name='), 5 );
$tok = strtok( $moduleurl, "&" );
$moduleurl = eregi_replace( "_", " ", $tok );
$moduleurl = trim( $moduleurl );
return( $moduleurl );
}

Replace with:

Code:

Thats what I was looking for... I'll update my code and give it a try. Thanks for working on this!

@gschoper:

Great! Many thanks for that workaround, now there's much more information...

Thanks gschoper,
Thx for the great work, I have a contribution for you all as well, its to make the MS_Analysis block 2 (Last 10 Visitors) work correctly, as of right now, if someone clicks on an html link, it goes to a file not found (Looks for modules.php?name=forums.html for example). This will resolve it.

Open blocks/block-MS-Analysis-2.php

Find:

Code:

if( $olmodulename != "" ) {
$olmodulename = strtr ( $olmodulename, ' ', '_' );
$olmodulename = "<br>  ---> "."<a href=\"modules.php?name=".$olmodulename."\">$olmodulename</a>";
}

Replace With:

Code:

if( $olmodulename != "" ) {
$olmodulename = strtr ( $olmodulename, ' ', '_' );
if(file_exists("modules/$olmodulename")) {
$olmodulename = "<br>  ---> "."<a href=\"modules.php?name=".$olmodulename."\">$olmodulename</a>";
} else {
$olmodulename = "<br>  ---> "."<a href=\"$olmodulename\">$olmodulename</a>";
}
}

The same problem exists in the MS_Analysis overview when clicking on the modules, do the following for it to resolve .html addresses correctly.

Open modules/MS_Analysis/scripts/modules

Find:

Code:

$nmodulename = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=".$nmodulename."\">$modulename</a>";

Replace with:

Code:

if (file_exists("modules/$nmodulename")) {
$nmodulename = "<a href=\"modules.php?name=".$nmodulename."\">$modulename</a>";
} else {
$nmodulename = "<a href=\"$nmodulename\">$modulename</a>";
}
