log page views in database where? - El Forum - 08-29-2007
[eluser]matt2012[/eluser]
I want to create a simple stats component that logs the page and subpage
of every page view along with some other stuff basically I want to run a
simple database insert of $this->uri->segment(1) etc. where is the best place
to run the code in the construct function of every controller or is this a use of a hook?
or has someone written a plugin or library for this ?

You could extend the controller
Code:
class MY_Controller extends Controller
{
function MY_Controller()
{
parent::Controller();
$url = $this->uri->uri_string();
// database insert
}
}And every controller you create should insert an url in your database.
I saw somewhere on the forum you should extend the normal controllers from the MY_Controller class but i think that is not necessary because the extended class functionality should be loaded instead of the parent class. Or am i wrong about this?
