Would be great, to have a visitor counter (with cookies support) per folder or at least for the gallery.

Hit/Visitor Counter per folder15 posts
Yes, it would be great... But I think that it would be useful to let the user choose the depth of the counter : gallery, folders, or images. I think it would sometimes be useful to have a counter by image to see which image is the most viewed...
Moreover, I think it would be great to be able to show or hide this counter for the visitor.

Just let me add one thing that some people may find interesting.
I haven't tried it out yet, but with the SWFAddress module, you should be able to use google analytics and it will support all depths from gallery->folder->image.
http://www.google.com/analytics/
As mentioned though, I think we will be looking into adding our own basiuc stats/counter system. A small issue though, is that if we want to gather stats for individual images, we will need to call images through a PHP script instead of calling the image directly. The same goes for images opened with "Open in New Window" ... We can't create any stats unless the calls/links are intercepted/handled by PHP.
Just some info for those of you who are technically interested =)

Although I would like to have such a counter for my folders/images integrated in Imagevue, Google Analytics seems to be a good way to track the visits for the time being.
There's only one problem, and that is that Google needs you to paste some code into the websites code, so that they can track it. However, I really don't know how to do that with PHP. I know how to do that in HTML, but that's something different.
Can anyone help me to get this working?
Thanks.

Hi,
You would probably like to start with this thread:
https://forum.photo.gallery/viewtopic.php?t=3364
You need to make the change again after updating to a new version, of course. The change itself is simple, you need to add the google analytics code just before the ending </head> tag, f.ex:
Be sure to have a copy of the original somewhere close before updating. This should work, please correct me if wrong.

Hit/Visitor Counter per folder
Hello,
Just wondering if there is any news on getting a hit counter added into the system?
A basic hit counter on the front page would be a good start - I can't seem to intergrate a standard hit counter into a text page.
The next stage would be a per folder or picture count as detailed in this thread.
My ISP provides detailed graphical logs of hits on my domain but I can't put this into my web site for the visitors to see.
Just curious if this is likely to be included at some point?
Fantastic software and I'm impressed with the frequent updates!
Keep up the great work.
Cheers, Keith.

You can easily include a PHP counter - You would simply embed it in the tempalate page imagevue/templates/index.gallery.phtmlLDF wrote:Hi all,
I was just trying to see how to include a php counter.
I read old posts where it seems impossible to have single pages count.
Is it really impossible or it will added sometimes in the future?
I'm using phpTrafficA.
Like you say, it does not count individual "pages", simply because the flash gallery application is not really considered "multiple pages". It is a single-page application, displaying multiple images interactively. We will be thinking about adding image statistics in a future release.
Hi Karl,
I would like a hit counter which which shows the number of site hits to the users when they visit my web page. A standard hit counter which could easily be added to a text page would be excellent so you could show the total number of site visits to the users on a welcoming page.
A more advanced version could show show the number hits each photo has had, indicating which ones are the most popular. I think it would be interesting if these stats are shown to the user rather than just having them as something the Admin can see. A number of hits beside each thumbnail maybe?
I'm really impressed that you are listening to all the feedback which you are getting in the forums. The software you have created is already very impressive and I have encouraged many of my friends purchase it too. I'm sure with the suggestions you are getting and hard work you are putting in, the next release will be even better! Can't wait to try it out.
Let me know if this request still doesn't make sense.
Thanks again,
Cheers, Keith.

Thanks for kind words, actually we listen but not implementing everything 
Usual visit counter you can add yourself if you edit imagevue/templates/gallery.index.phtml
View counter is good idea and not that hard to implement, we planning some revamping after summer. Then we'll think about new features. The only drawback, this might make gallery bit slower.
