Tami Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Is there any way to show which topic guests are printing - or can this be implemented somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis M. Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 On the board index? Seems kind of excessive. ***Edit Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicknight Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 You can't really track printing anyway. You can track whether someone is viewing the printable version, but the actual printing is completely client-side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 He means in the Online Users detailed displays. If someone is viewing a printable version is says "Printing Topic" but doesn't say what topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I don't know that it's excessive; we're a resource site for high school students in new media, so it would be interesting and of use to us to know which topics are getting printed; we know which ones are popular simply by checking views. It's just another way of collecting usage stats for us. If we knew which printed topics were "hot" then we could add more focusing on that area, etc. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis M. Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 But you don't have to use the print topic feature, you can just print directly from the topic view. Not sure how accurate the stat would be. I am not against the idea, just not for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Guest Viewing Topic: Artificial Clouds 2 minutes ago Guest Printing Topic 2 minutes ago Okay...whatever print option it is which shows the above result in Online Users (last click), that is what I'm talking about. It would be alot easier than grepping through access logs to see what they're printing. Wouldn't it use the same type of "grab information" parametres that the Viewing Topic stat would use? It was just something I wondered about, and if it's possible without huge amounts of coding etc.,, I thought it would be a nice stat feature to have. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
