[TurboGears] Re: ip address in visit?

[Jeff Watkins]

Actually, I designed the Visit Tracking system to support plug ins: that's how Identity works. You need to create an extension (see an earlier email "TurboGears Extensions & EGGs") and in that extension register a Visit plug in. The relevant line in Identity's extension start-up function is:     visit.enable_visit_plugin( IdentityVisitPlugin() ) A Visit Tracking plug in must expose the following methods:     new_visit( self, visit_id )     record_request( self, visit_id ) The `new_visit` method will be called when Visit Tracking determines that this request represents the first request in a visit (when the cookie doesn't already exist or has expired). And `record_request` is called in all other cases. The return value of these methods is not significant. Because Visit Tracking plug-ins are TG extensions, they are required to check a config variable to determine whether they are enabled. If they aren't enabled, obviously, they shouldn't register as a Visit Tracking plug in.
