I have this incredible plugin installed on multiple sites... most use wordpress entirely as a CMS.
However, on zipcodeguy.com/blog I run wordpress in /blog only. I would like to be able to also track the other pages of my site with it. Is there a tracking code or something that I can install on the html pages of my site that will allow the non wordpress pages to show up as well? Thanks1
Unfortunately there isn't and there will not be any way to track pages without a Wordpress installation on them.
Sorry
I decided to weigh in on this topic because I agree that tracking non-wordpress pages in Wassup would be very useful feature to have.
As this topic was already brought up in "Wishlists", Michele, perhaps you should consider adding it as a possible milestone for Wassup 2.0?
It would not be easy to implement, but I think it is doable using a combination of javascript and an action.php request. For example, in the target non-wordpress page, you could embed a javascript file like, "wassuptracker.js", and in that javascript file, do a call to the Wassup module, action.php?action=trackurl" as an ajax request similar to "spy". Looking at how other stats trackers do their javascript tracking could help reduce the amount of work involved.
The major problem with this method is that it would not be possible to track certain bots and visitors who have javascript turned off. As a consequence, Wassup's numbers for non-wordpress pages would be less accurate than those for Wordpress pages/posts. Despite this, I think this feature that would be an asset to Wassup and could attract more users.
ps. This thread belongs in Wishlist, not Support...is there any way to move it?
I'd also like to see the ability to track non-WordPress pages. It is possible and seen in several other stats programs such as Open Web Analytics (OWA) and Firestats. OWA even installs as a WordPress plugin. They give you a bit of code to include in php based site content. This way those of us who have forums, for example, can have a consolidated view of our sites.
Any thoughts?
I'm just adding this feature as request for future versions. Helene I would like to write a summary of the latest ideas/requests we get, I'll email you as soon as possible.
Thank you
@Michele - I'm curious if there have been any other thoughts about tracking non-WP pages since the last message.
Having tried a ridiculous number of stats packages including Woopra (which is terribly inaccurate at present), I'd love to see a self hosted solution like Wassup handle that last piece of the puzzle...
