Heres an example of how bad the directions are.
Look at this page
http://www.scriptpulse.com/tp/manual/incoming-trackers.phpIncoming Traffic Trackers
There are 2 ways to count incoming traffic with TradePulse script:
First way (recommended):
Include this code in your .shtml files:
<!--#include virtual="/tp/ssi_in.php"-->
...or include this code in your .php files
<?php virtual("/tp/ssi_in.php")?>
(your? what does your mean? my files or the script pulse files that I just uploaded? because I have about zero files called .shtml and 15 called .php. should I upload them into all 15? really? well I started to paste it into a few of them and check half way through. My site was screwed up. It doesn't work. seems pasting it onto index.php messed it up. My site is still messed up even though I took it off. It can't get back to normal! Warning:
In case that ssi_in.php is included inside php function(mostly on tube and blog systems) you MUST include this right after start of <body> (it's needed to start cron):
<img src="/tp/img.php" width="0" height="0" style='display:none;border:none'>
Second way:
Create a file ".htaccess" (or modify it if it's already present) and add this code to the new line:
DirectoryIndex tp_in.php index.shtml index.html index.php index.cgi
This file should be in the root directory of your site.
This doesn't work, it screws my site up and I get some weird message too. What is the difference between first and second way?
1) First way (with ssi_in.php) works faster for your surfers.
2) Second way (.htaccess + in.php) allows you to show different pages for non-unique visitors and show different pages for each of your trades.
Allows you to show different pages? show different pages to who? all surfers should see the same site? maybe you mean allows us to see different pages for non-unique visitors and show different things back in the Admin area.Authors of this script will be thankful to you if you can place this code at the very bottom of your site:
<center>Powered by <a href="

If i ever get my site online and figure out how to get the CODE on my site and get the stats to show up I would love to olink to script pulse.
