Gcount version 1.2 and Netfirms No Unique counts

[Jazzman]

I am using Netfirms as my hosting company, and they have listed in their install scripts Gcount.

I installed it and followed all the instrucions and it works well and increments for every page refresh, Except.

If I change the

$count_unique = 0;
and change it to:
$count_unique = 1;

to be able to track Unique clicks it never increments the number. It just stays at zero. I double checked by using another pc and still stays at zero.

Am I missing something. The instructions merely said to replace the zero with a 1 like above.



Thanks for the help.

Does it help if you clean your cookies?

If not please post the link to your script so we can test it.

Hello and thanks for helping.

You are right I cleared my cookies and refreshed and the counter went up by 1. I then used a proxy and tried loading the page and it did not increment. I then cleared cookies again and it incremented.

Is this correct?

Thanks again

It uses cookies to count unique visits so yes, you should only be counted once unless you clean cookies (or wait the number of hours set in $unique_hours, default 24).

Thank you Klemen for your help, and the explanation.
