Measuring time spent on site using tapestry

[James Sherwood <js...@rgisolutions.com>]

Hello,

Is there a way to measure time spent surfing our website using tapestry 3.1.
And if not in 3.1 is there a way in later versions?

The reason for this is statistical sites are now using time spent on sites 
as a measure as much as using page views/sessions which we already track 
using tapestry.

Thanks,
James

You could do it using a timestamp in an ASO that follows a user.
Similar to having a last-logged-in timestamp.
ASO's that get logged out manually (user initiated) can use
logout_time - last_start_time

ASO's that get logged out automatically (via timeout) can use
logout_time - timeout_length -last_start_time


A simpler version could just use this:
Last Page Impression - ASO creation time

The page impression calculation could be done in a border (aka layout)
component, so you don't have to modify all your pages.

I am planning something similar -- I only need to track page impression counts.


I don't think there is a way (besides wierd javascript) to count the
time that the page is displayed on the screen.  The browser could be
in the background, not being "surfed"
