To open a window for the visitor (?)
Hello,

There is a solution to open a window if the user is the 1000 visitors.

if visitor == 1000
Message: You are the 1000 visitors...

The cheaters should be avoided !

Utilistation : Plays...

An idea ?

Thank you for your answers.


Mick

Could do something like;

<%write_visitor%>

Code:
sub {

my $count;
open(READIT,"counter.cnt") || return $!;
$count = <READIT>
close(READIT);

$count++;

open(WRITEIT,">counter.cnt") || return $!;
print WRITEIT $count;
close(WRITEIT);

unless ($count % 1000) {
return { is_special_visitor => 1 }
} else {
return { is_special_visitor => 0 }
}

}

Make sure at the top of your template you have;

<%write_visitor%>

This *WILL NOT* return anything.. its simply used to do the checking etc.

You can then use something like;

Code:
<%if is_special_visitor%>
... pop up HTML stuff
<%endif%>

This is untested.. but in theory it should work (on a not so high traffic site).

Cheers
