Adding a Counter

List of Available Counters For Your Web Page

Follow the below examples to add a counter to your web page.


    Text Counter:
       Syntax: <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/TEXT>

       This is a text-based counter.  Counters only work on your default "/"
       page name, which is "INDEX.HTM" in most cases.

    Example 1:
     <html>
     
     This page has been hit <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/TEXT> times!
     
     
     </html>



     Graphic Counter:
       Syntax: <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/GRAPHIC>

       The graphic counter makes a graphic representation of the number
       of hits using the gifs 0.gif .. 9.gif which are located in our
       COUNTER directory.  

       

          <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/GRAPHIC/PREFIX>

        In our case, the prefix is "num" so you change the syntax request
        to:  <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/GRAPHIC/NUM>

     If you ignore the prefix, it will use the default style, which is
     0.gif, ... 9.gif.


    Example 2:
     <html>
     
     This page has been hit  <WBP_EXECUTE=COUNTER/GRAPHIC> times!
     
     
     </html>
