Fixed the problem with "use your own HTML" pages not recording hits for the referer log. Tom brought this to my attention and it turned out to be a little more difficult to track down than I had thought. Turns out that those pages were correctly recording hits, except in the situation where all the content is just put into the template (and nothing is [post]ed.) This turns out to be a reasonable way to build these pages, but it isn't the way I had in mind when I designed it. The original idea is that the format and graphic design elements would be entered on [editpage] into the HTML field, but that you would still post the "real" content through [post].

In any case, it works fine just to make the entire page inside the template. Hits will now record. The only possible draw back is that the search engine won't find text on that page.

Thanks for the fix. Do you think external search engines (eg google) will have the same problem with those pages, trying to grab content that's not there? This probably only affects me, since I "cheated" by dumping all my content into the template.

  • To google it's just like any other page. No problems.
