Profile script visit count incrementation

Hi,

 

I'm trying the code below in a profile script but it is never incremented.

 

if(user.sessionId!=user.getLocal('lastSessionId')) {
  user.setLocal('lastSessionId', user.sessionId);
  return (user.get('visitCount') || 0) + 1;
}

 

For test it faster, i override the sessionIdLifetime at 30 sec.

The sessionId change works fine.

But visitCount is always blocked at 1.

 

Do you know why ?

It seems the value of user.getLocal('lastSessionId') always start in the IF condition with "null"

 

in the mboxTrace this variable is identified with user.123456789.lastSessionId

 

I don't know how to get the right lastSessionId stored in the IFcondition?

    did you set 'visitCount' first before getting the value?? because first time it will start with 0 but before return you have to set it to user or somewhere in local storage so that next time 'visitCount' will return saved value rather going to 0 you can read for user.

      Hi, i tried to store the value in local storage and it's work fine when user is in the same session.

      But when a new session starts, the storage is deleted and comes back to 0...

      Have you got an idea ?

          why don't you try the combination of these three to achieve your requirement (something as below, just coded roughly)

           

          if(user.isFirstSession){

              user.setLocal("lastsession",user.sessionId);

             return (user.get('visitCount') || 0) + 1;

          }else if(user.isNewSession){

              if(user.getLocal("lastsession")!=user.sessionId){

                     user.setLocal("lastsession",user.sessionId);

                     return (user.get('visitCount') || 0) + 1;

              }

          }

            Thanks for your help. Unfortunatly, i didn't see improvement in my test. Maybe i have got a problem with the way i'm doing my test and the result expected. Because all visit count sample script i found on the web or yours, seems to work in theory..

              Thx. The incrementation works but this does not solve my problem, because it increment at each page loading, and i only want to increment just in case a new session starts
