Show Geotargeted Map Of Visitors To Your Site...

[digitalpoint]

Based on some stuff I did for the geo visitors map for this forum, I threw a system together this morning that anyone can use on their own site...

The map isn't pulling up in firefox for me.

In IE I get Internet Explorer cannot open this page.

[digitalpoint]

The thing with IE was just fixed... but Firefox seems to work (and always did) for me...

[Hodgedup]

The one here works perfectly.

The new one doesn't display anything, except for an empty box and the little red vistor pin and the drop down.

For which OS/browser? Did you try reloading?

[lorien1973]

I tried and got the same error.

Win XP, IE

Here's the error I get:
line 148
char 27
error: expected ";"
code0

[Hodgedup]

I'm running XP.

with firefox 1.0.6 I just get the blank box.

with IE 6 I get a popup box that says

Internet Explorer cannnot open the internet site http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/geovisitors/

Operation aborted

I have pasted code on two sites now and both show what appears to be the same one visitor in the Virginia Region. I am in Texas. Could it be Earthlink facilities are in Virginia?

What the hell? It's working fine for me in both browsers on windows...

Is it you?

It is... your IP is only traceable to the United States, so it puts you as Washington DC generically.

[lorien1973]

I cleared cache and cookies and I had the same error show up. I didnt even get as far as seeing the 1 visitor.

He he, I do not know. Edited my above post to reflect my confusion. Let me dial in on different ISP and see if it changes.

Thanks Shawn. I am feeling a little lonely like the maytag repairman.

Neat toy. Off to try to find a site where I won't be so lonely.

FF console sez:

Error: missing ; before statement

Source file: /tools/geovisitors/ line: 148

var allPoints = new Array );


^^^ missing a ( ??

lorien - I think I figured it out... try it now. It was trying to show visitors for forums.digitalpoint.com, but had no data to plot.

Smyrl - see previous post (I edited it).

It works fine for me in FireFox and my little balloon location was actually pretty accurate <g>. This is pretty cool. I could see this would be a great feature for many interactive sites.

[Hodgedup]

It works for me now in both.

Yep. I show 5 people now. CA, FL (me), TX (I assume smyrl), KY, DC

[digitalpoint]

Yeah... I didn't add the tracking code (the image) to the first post (but it's there now), so it was trying to plot 0 points and didn't like it. I added an additional check that if there is no data to plot, it will fallback to www.digitalpoint.com data.

[lorien1973]

So its kinda gathering data right now. Its not showing visitors that came and went before the map went up?

I'm waiting for that first antarctica visitor, personally

[Hodgedup]

Nice work Shawn. That's really cool.
