I'm working on some mods on my main app, to do with tracking user clicks and the path they take through the various mini-sites running in our app.
Currently I do my own logging - various CGI scope data (including IP), plus some internal IDs. But I'd like to expand that to further be able to pull out all data for a given user (don't care who they are) so I can say "this person clicked HERE, then HERE, then THERE", that sorta thing. I'm tinkering with unique identifiers - I've added a "UUID" field to my DB tables used for tracking. I'm generating a UUID and tossing it in a cookie. In my logging script include, if that cookie's set, I add that UUID value along with my other tracking data. No sweat if cookies are enabled. But what I want to do is NOT log ANYTHING for the page views, UUID-wise, if cookies aren't enabled. The trick is, as best I can tell, the only way to detect if cookies aren't enabled is to do the two-page deal - first page, set cookie, redirect to second page, check for presence of cookie. I'm looking for way (if it's possible) to sniff that out on the one page. Right now, I can do a <cfcookie> set (and I'm doing a session var as well, as an experiment) and the values stick through the page - so when it comes to the logging include, it's saying "Oh I've got that UUID" and logging it, despite that it's a fresh UUID every page when cookies are off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
