I wonder how I would go about an email tracker using ASP. I need this for the database to capture all unsubscribe requests. For instance, someone emails "unsubscribe@domain" I should be able to catch that email, get who emailed it and record that to my unsubscribe table. Also I am using a a commercial mail server (ability mail server) and not the virtual smtp server which comes along with IIS.
View Repliesanyone know a good way of tracking an email so that i know if theyve been
opened? and preferably somethign where i can identify the recipient
(matching with our crm)?
guide me towards a script that can handle bounced emails from a newsletter campaign.
I am not interested in .Net solution. The mail server is Exchange 2003 if that helps.
Right now clueless about tracking of bounced emails.
How can I write an asp page, say, CHECKIP.asp that checks the incomin
requesting IP address and returns a protected page, based on th
checking result? That is, if the IP is a permitted address, the
presents a page, say, OK.asp. If the IP is not allowed, then send
REJECT.asp. Both OK.asp and REJECT.asp cannot be directly accesse
without going through the CHECKIP.asp.
I'm hoping to create a searchable web-based archive of a email list using ASP. Is there a way to get asp to connect to a mailbox and download mesages as text strings which could them be added to an SQL databse? Most of this is fine, it's just the retreival of messages that has me stuck at the moment.

View Replies View Relatedi want to build a trouble ticket system. i'd like to have a component
written in vbscript watch a specific mail folder for income email (something
like 'troubletickets@acme.com') the system should write the sender's email
address, time received, and message body to sql server, return a new trouble
ticket, etc. anybody know how to set this kind of thing up?
It's an ASP-built Intranet app, so I can't show you the site, but I'll show
you screen shots if you think that will help. The app is to keep track of
issues called in to a Support help desk. These issues are called tickets.
Each ticket has one and only one row in this given table (let's call it
Ticket). Any additional info on a ticket will be entered into another table
(called History), so it's possible to have many rows in that table for each
one in the table I am focusing on.
The app in question uses SQL Server 2000 as its datasource.
The table contains info entered when a ticket was created, but I have
included a mechanism for users to go back and change info that was
originally entered. This leads me to my dillemma. The boss wants me to find
a way to keep up with changes to that original info. It seems logical to
keep this info in another table. Let's call this new table Audit.
I have explored using a trigger which would create a row in the Audit table
whenever an Update was used on the Ticket table. The problem with that is,
you have one row per changed field, and that could add up. Actually, it's
not a problem, just something to consider.
The alternative is to have ASP code which would, when any edits are made,
manually compare each new value in the form to each existing value, and
record those items which have changed. This seems like it would put a lot of
work on the web server. There are generally maybe 10 people using this app
at any given time, so that may or may not be important.
For the record, the Ticket table has about 40 fields. The PK is a single
field, and it's an Identity with type int. Most of the other fields are int,
as they contain FKs that point to values contained in statics tables. There
are a few tables of type varchar, and 3 fields which contain large amounts
of data, as they are description fields. Users type in up to 3000 characters
here, but it's typically a few hundred characters.
there is a form(ex=subscribe.asp) which is an asp page where users can sign up for newsletters. this asp file calls a php file in the form action which i have written and this php file processes information user entered and inserts to the database. this works fine. in the website there are numerous pages from which a user can click on an image and be redirected to subscribe.asp and fill in the form.
I need to know which page the user was before subscribe.asp ex = aboutus.asp, contactus.asp etc. is there a way i can pass information from this subscribe.asp file to the php file which the php file can read and find out the source of the previous page (ex= aboutus.asp, contactus.asp etc).
i want to display the session time out message when i click a button. the msg should be displayed in alert box.
View Replies View RelatedMy goal is to be able to advertise on different web sites i.e. fortune.com, wsj.com, etc. and when a prospect clicks my ad/link they are sent directly to a contact form that I've created where it will automatically populate a field "referral" with the referring url (wsj.com, etc.) as where the user came from.
However, not all my leads/prospects will be coming from referral urls and searches. Some might be going directly to my web site via www.mydomain.com. Therefore, when a prospect comes that way, the ASP contact form should adjust to compliment that prospects entry. So, the "referral" field would be a drop-down that has these options:
- Option 1
- Option 2(Other Publications)
- Option 3
- Option 4(Referral)
And, if the user chooses "option 2" another select box appears with a list of publications, i.e. Forbes, Business Week, Fortune, Leaders, etc.
And, if Option 4 is chosen, then Employee, friend, owner, and other would appear in a select box.
Currently, I have the contact form working so that the user must specify where he/she came from as I described it above. I am simply looking for a piece of code to automate the referral process if a prospect comes from an online ad or specific url (i.e. www.mydomain.com/coupon1).
I have a small email newsletter (100% double-opt-in, less than 400 subscribers) that we publish with CDO.Message and CreateMHTMLBody (on Win2k server, so we are using CDONTS).
We are using CreateMHTMLBody because the newsletter is dynamically generated, pulling data 3 different data sources, otherwise it would be a cinch to use the existing tracking bug we utilize on simpler mailer that runs with CDO.NewMail and manual composition of the HTML code.

I am trying to create a website for students where they have to log in before they can access any of the materials on the site. Therefore the login will be done on the homepage. Providing log in is successful, I then want to be able to track which student downloads which materials. I know how to deal with the login code but am not sure when I create the session variables to track the users. Is this done on the following page? Also do I need to use the global.asa file?
does the session on start event happen the minute the student arrives at the homepage or can I tell it to start once the students have logged in? any advice will be gladly received.
I am developing an intranet site for my customer and i have faced a problem with session tracking. Many files added as include files and i found me unable to track session between two pages. I tried it with applying many logics but it failed.

Is it possible to track where a user is going from a page? My goal is to be able to tell if a user is going to a new page inside my domain vs them going to an outside link - and have an alert box appear if they are going to an outside domain name.

I am just starting in asp and would like to get an image to follow the cursor (ie if the cursor was at x=100,y=100 then the image would be x=10,y=10) and would move as if locked to the cursor.
View Replies View RelatedI have a site with a login page and several dozen secured pages behind it. The user data is in an Access Database. The client wants to add some specific tracking features. I haven't started working in it yet, so I don't have any code.
This is more of a planning phase and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going down the wrong path from the beginning.
1. The primary goal is to track the number of times each user logs in during the course of a month. They want to keep track of 3 months worth of information. After that, each new month would overwrite the oldest month.
The login code is pretty standard stuff - check for a match in the database and create server variables.
I'm thinking I'll need to add a table to the database with a field for UserID, a date field and a numerical field. When the user logs in, the page will need to check and see if a record exists for this user and this month in the table.
If so, it will update the record by incrementing the numerical field and updating the date field. If no record exists for this month, it will create a new record. This part I'm pretty sure I can handle. I'm not quite sure how to automatically overwrite the oldest month when the number of records per user is greater than 3.
Any thoughts on the best way to do this? 2. As a secondary goal, they wanted to see if it was possible to track which pages each user was going to while they are logged in. I don't have the foggiest idea how to do this. Any ideas?
I have built a site where users make a purchase, but in order to make a purchase they need to log in. If they are not logged in they are directed to the login page. This all works fine. Here is the issue.
If they select an item to purchase and are not logged in and they are redirected to the login page, after successful login I want them to be redirected back to the link they selected to get to the login pagin. So if they select a widget to purchase and they log in the system will direct them to that widget.
I know this is done with session variables but I have no idea how to accomplish it. I did notice that this site does the very thing I want to do except I am working in ASP with an Access 2000 database.
I have currently deployed an online marketing initiative for a web site and I was looking for a way to use javascript to track link-throughs from my online ads. I have been told that it can be done by setting a cookie for the web site visitor(s).
So, this is the entire process that I am looking at capturing:
[1]Wall Street Journal online ad - visitor clicks through to my landing page (www.mysite.com/widget)
[2]My site sets a cookie for that visitor.
[3]If that visitor goes to my contact page (www.mysite.com/contact) he/she fills out the form and sends it (using ASP to send form);
[4]I receive the visitors contact information as well as the destination from where he came from i.e. wall street journal or google.com, etc.
Here's the code so far that I have. I believe I am basically just getting a cookie and setting it. I need help with transferring the cookie within the contact form.

I need to create an impression tracking with just an image. My goal is to count (+track referrals) page impressions.
I have no clue of doing so. I know there is a way to do it using javascript and asp.
let me preface this question by telling you that I cut cable and fix printers. I avoid web stuff whenever possible. But alas, my wealthy benefactors insist . . .
I'm hopefully to the last step in cookieless user-id tracking for file downloads. Here's where I am:
To download such-and-such, user enters their email addy on a form.
Form posts email to an access db which generates a user id
iis creates a link http://domain/downloadid=userid and sends it to the email address entered
At this point I no longer know what to do. Understand that that the above constitutes a poorly modified address book. Here are the caveats for this project:
If you@you.com downloads a file, I want a tick in the db. Be that adding the filename or other marker to your db record or a whole other media-list table that adds your id. Whichever is the simplest.
I'm totally good if it's a dreadfully loose way of tracking (even fake ids would be permitted and tallyed in the db as fake). I'm more interested in usage stats than protecting any of our golden audio files. Hopefully, this very spartan system could become a way to grow some trending data, like "everybody that downloaded X also grabbed a copy of Y" and so forth.
My iis/asp/access knowledge consists of exactly the things I've been forced to do so far. If this is just too cheeseball of a question, feel free to point me to the right chapter in your favorite book and I'll go buy it! My Googling for this one have been returning about 3/4 of the entire internet, so I decided to just ask.
I have an important question to ask about how to trap events when the user close the browser window.
I'm a ASP programmer and I have s MSSQL database with a user table where I'm able to track if the user is logged in or not.
However this is not easy to track if the user close the browserwindow without using the logout button. I have tried putting in code in Session_onend, but it doesn't seem to run if the browser is closed. Eg. tracking visitors in a application variable in Session_OnStart and Session_OnEnd. Code:
I am a system administrator whom has been charged with the logging of user activities on my network. I want to track when a user logs into a machine, logs out of a machine or locks a system.
Is there an application out there that I can run on my server or a client based app that anyone knows of? Or do I have to make this from scratch?
this is dependant on whether or not I can get my sessionID. This is assigned
by the server yes?
so...when I log in, I query what my session ID is, and then store that in a
DB along with a flag that says I'm logged in.
now, along comes someone else who has me in their buddy list, I think I can
query the sessionIDs and remove any records from the DB where the sessionID
no longer exisits. (not sure how yet but I'll work on it).
Then the second user will query the DB to see if I have logged in (and a
sessionID still exists). if so, his buddylist will show me as logged
on...although it could be 20 mins out of date, it's getting closer to the
real thing. Code:
I'm looking at the various free and paid website traffic tracking options

Anyone got much of a clue how best to send emails to selected people from a database table and to be able to track them, maybe as much as a read receipt, or perhaps just checking that they don't bounce, or end up in the bad mail folder.
