I know this is a bit off-topic from “your site” tracking but this can easily be tied into Mint. I’ve just started development on the pepper, and to get a feel of what it will be like check out the demo tracker I have developed: http://dev.inspiredmind.net/view.php
That’s neat. Are you getting the info from a tiny transparent GIF or something? I would be interested in getting the source code from you, if you’re willing to share it.
Interesting. The only actual Myspace tracker that works. But — one problem. Myspace doesn’t permit tracking per their TOU.
It’s a transparent .png with a .htaccess that changes the mime-type to php.
@ barkerja: interesting approach. how complicated is the source code? would you mind sharing it?
Cool. I figured everyone was already doing this. I have a transparent gif on my myspace page that tracks hits, etc… I hadn’t thought of tying this to Mint though.
I’ll have a link posted here tomorrow to download. Thanks for your interest.
Have to see it first for some requests. :D Can you send me the code and I will try to dev a module for facebook too.
Okay, it’s here. http://stats.inspiredmind.net/pepper/ti … pepper.zip
Please, feedback! Let me know what you like, don’t like and what you would like to see. Any suggestions for other peppers are appreciated as well!
Enjoy.

Unzipping the Archive does not work for me on OSX.
yeah, the zip file contains 4 errors.
If I were you… I’d use some rewrite rules : )
Okay, updated the .zip. Should be fully compatible now. Any other problems, let me know.
Till Kruss: I’m assuming you’re talking about the .htaccess?
Are you talking about something like:
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^register.png$ register.php
No, I would set up a rewrite rule to redirect your downloads, because the posted link above look ugly. Never mind!
I admit I’m a little confused. I see no reference to including the db.inc file or the geo.inc file in the script — and it’s basically not doing anything.
Is this not all tied-in yet?
@remote sensing tools: basically all you need to do is upload the johnbarker folder to your pepper folder, setup the db with the included db_scheme.SQL and add the img tag your myspace profile.
That’s what I did, but nothing’s logging.
Not to mention, by leaving the db.inc file wide-open in that folder — anyone can easily view your database login.
Just sayin’. You might wish to either include a call to the main Mint db.php file for security, or go with another method for linking to the database.
Or — include an .htaccess file that secures that file from being viewed from the outside.
@barkerja, didn’t work for me either. I think one of the issues is that your code assumes that mint tables are installed without a prefix. However, by default Mint prefixes its tables with “mint_”. Also, the register.png is not an image, it’s a php file. Seems like myspace would have something in place to block this sort of thing.
