Hi Gina,
I think the easiest way to do this is to put a query in your application.cfm
file that inserts their information into your database:
<CFQUERY NAME="record_visitor_page_impressions" DATASOURCE="web_log">
INSERT INTO visit_log
(website_visit_page,website_visit_date,website_visit_contact_id,website_visi
t_ip_address)
values
('#cgi.script_name#',#createodbcdatetime(now())#,#cgi.CONTACT_ID#,'#cgi.remo
te_addr#')
</CFQUERY>
Since you put the query in your application.cfm, it will be automatically
included at the top of every page in your application. It will record the
name of the page they viewed, the date and time, the IP address and their
contact ID.
Be aware that these logs can get very large, very fast!
HTH,
Eron

What would be the best way to track user movements throughout a site (i.e.
what pages they have requested, what keywords they have searched on, their
IP, etc.)? The users are already required to login with a userID and
password. I need to be able to store the tracking info in a table.
Thanks for any input!
