Can't get ANY page counter to work....

**pjiv** · 30 March 2019, 06:47 PM

I did, it shows on the page in Xara, but it does not show up on the web site. I'm still looking now that I can at least see it on the page in Xara

hmm apologies it does seem that the reliable counter widget isn't being very.... reliable. We will remove it and I'll add it to my list to find a replacement.

Thanks
Rob

Thanks Rob

Rob, a nudge too for the QR code and the Embed a website.

A fix for the QR Code Widget was asked for almost four years ago: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...-Scaling-Fails.
The validation for the URL is wrong as you cannot embed one of your own Xara design pages. You can fudge with "http://a.b", Generate code and then add in the right URL.

I'll add it to my list as well to find a suitable replacement for the QR code. I've logged a job in.

I think the embed a website is our own widget, I wonder if they will let me play around with the code for it...

Thanks
Rob

Welcome to TalkGraphics

What page counter are you using and can you give up a link to where you found the counter.

Also, just out of curiosity, what happens if you use the counter on a new site.

I am using the reliable counter and haven't tried on brand new site but will and let you know results Thanks for any help

Here's an article I came across on why counters are not used any more https://ux.stackexchange.com/questio...-used-any-more

Using Google Analytics is probably the better way to go. https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/ It provides a ton more information and the data is not public. You can tell how many visits you have had, but so much more including platform, country and city, and more.
