Statistics: How to track users and actions

Product: MioFactory


 An application built with MioFactory, such as a Desktop Alert or a Desktop News Ticker, can send tracking information to a standard HTTP web server supporting PHP.

Enabling tracking makes it possible to know how many users your software attracts and keeps, and how they use it.

Tracking is done using small text files on the server. No database is used.
The software limits the communication beetwen the application and the server, and the server stores daily or monthly counters.

This system is easy to install on any web server supporting PHP and supports millions of users with limited needs of disk space and maintenance.
 


Enabling tracking


 The tracking directives are stored in the XML configuration file.

Add the code to send statstics in your application using the library stats.js.
More info: XML Configuration File Format

You just have to add the script stats_write.php on your server to have it ready to receive information from your software.
This script receives the information from the software and update files on the server.

You can then consult the tracking information from the admin panel.
More information: 02. The tab Products.

More information: stats_software_send
 


Tracking IDs
