Redoing detail_page.cgi is on my list.
I didn't know how many sites use it, and just how useful it *really* is for displaying the dynamic detail pages. It's one of those things like a shell script you write once because you need it, and bang your head around, but then don't ever look at it until something breaks <G>
There are quite a few improvements I need to add, and I'm going to try to get it do a few more things behind the scenes for tracking hits.
I'm also going to update the advanced search logger, since I have some better template code, and a look that meshes with google's adsense, and will finally add some admin features.
for the new look check

A "hit" is a clickthrough to the site, ie: if a person goes to the detailed page, then clicks through to the site. a "detailed_hit" is just a view of the detailed page, without a clickthrough to the site. These were stats I wanted for postcards.com where I wanted to know how many people viewed the images, as well as how many sent them.
later versions of detail_page installed a new hit type in the click track table, to prevent duplicate counting of re-hits.
Unfortunately, because I work late, and GT's database had been hacked a few times, I can never remember, or find the password to update the plugins in the plugins area, so I tended to end up posting most fixes/updates to the forums. (That too will change, as I'll to post most fixes and updates to the sqlwidgets.com site, rather than burrying it here in the forums)
(part of what andy and I are doing is trying to update all our plugins to the most recent/fixed up versions, then eliminate all others from our workspaces, and we've asked Alex to update all our plugins to reflect the Ultranerds username. Once that happens, there'll be two of us to try to remember the password <G>).
