I’ve read through the comments regarding using IPCCP and StatPress. So far, I am unable to get it working correctly.

I’ve changed the default setting of “Counter table name” to “wp_statpress” as well as changing the default setting of “remote IP field name” to from “IP to “ip”.

I have not made any additional changes to the default settings, when I click “Update Settings & Redraw”, I am presented with:

Cluster Map Generation Started
0s >> Loading GeoIP into memory

As well as the message “Generating the cluster map might take a while – please be patient!”

I let it sit there for a long period of time and nothing changes. When I eventually decided to revisit the settings page, I am giving a preview map.

My method in trying to add the map to the front page of my blog in the sidebar, was to edit the widgets, add a “text” widget, including the “Output template” on the IPCCP settings page. All that I see on my sidebar is: “%BLOGNAME% Cluster Map”. This indicates to me that the image is not being displayed, as that is the alt tag defined in the HTML.

Assistance would be greatly appreciated.

check comment #74 (and below) for some discussion on fetching data from statpress. does that help you any?

1418 entries returned from the query then suddenly 0 entries? Doesn’t make sense. Obviously IPCCP is querying the db correctly (there are in fact 1418 entries in this table) but isn’t processing them correctly. HELP!

I think so. It’s from Anders Holte Nielsen, version 0.53 and appears to be collecting data fine.

Cheers!!

still struggeling with the same issue as in comment #86? I really have no clue whats happening. You are using Counterize (and not Counterize II), right?

cheers,

any chance of getting any help with this?

Cheers!!

to answer your question, I’ve used the binaries. Just download the complete package and you’ll notice the files in ipccp/GeoIP/ (the ».dat« files). BTW you shouldn’t need to download anything unless you want the latest GeoIP distribution.

cheers,

ps: the download section above has working links to the database-files.

not a lot of info there… any error messages in your servers log files?

even after 15 min, there is no change
what could be the problem?
Thanks

Cheers!!

Sorry but I’m still using the same version (0.b5.8) but have never been able to get it to work yet. Counterize appears to be providing data, however, it seems like IPCCP isn’t connecting to it. Could that be possible?

Cheers!!

this is really weird and currently I’ve really got no clue. I checked your site and the /cool – test you mentioned earlier. Just wondering: which version of IPCCP are you using now (the one that doesn’t work)? And which version was working for you in Feb?

cheers,
-tmb

I’m still having troubles getting this to work. Counterize is presenting data, however, nothing appears to happen with IPCCP after hitting update settings and redraw except I now have a new error now but cannot be sure what caused this change:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /my_install/location/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/GeoIP/GeoIP.php on line 1

Still no entries in the bluetrait event viewer nor in the server error log. I really dig your plugin and want to get it to work on my site, so I look forward to your help. Please let me know what info you need or you need me to do for this to work. Thanks!

Cheers!!

you are quite right. IPCCP has no table of it’s own. It’s using the table Counterize is filling. Thus IPCCP will work with any statistics plugin that keeps track of the necessary infos.

why are you wondering?
-tmb

Thanks again for your help with the bothersome questions.

Cheers!!

thanks for the feedback. I think FF has always been displaying the Cities without linebreaks. For me that makes it useless as most spots of interest usually contain too many Names for my display. Ah well, you just can’t have it all.

cheers,
-tmb

Nope, nothing in the error logs for IPCCP. And I don’t get even the cluster map generation message, only the patience message. Question: IPCCP is making it’s own queries of the countrize table, right? I was curious about the relationship between counterize and IPCCP.

Thanks again for your help with the bothersome questions.

Cheers!!

@Nelson: you long/lat works for me (have a look at http://blog.vimagic.de/statistics/ ) … Sure you’ve entered the values correctly (comma vs. periode issue maybe?)

Yeah, I’m Albert – using my old Uni as a ssh proxy. And as Albert Einstein was born here, their node carries his name.

I’ve uploaded a snap at www.{mywebsitehere}.com/IPCCP_status.jpg showing exactly what the bottom of the config page looks like after selecting “Update Settings & Redraw”. Counterize is installed and functioning. I confirmed that there are IPs in the DB as well. I currently have >50 hits (most of them me), so I would’ve guessed that generating output would be something less than 10 minutes. Regardless, this page has not changed. Now, before I select “Update Settings & Redraw” I can see the default, static map. That same map is also visible at www.{mywebsitehere}.com/cool, the page I was testing this feature out at.

Thanks for your efforts and time with this plugin and my questions!

Cheers!!

Yes, It’s working fine now, in all respects. Maybe it just wanted me to pester you one last time! :oD

Longitude = -121.86
Latitude = 36.60
My place color = #9900FF

I really appreciate your plugin and I really appreciate your patient willingness to help me sort out my problems. Thanks again.

So, are you @ Albert, Reutingen, or Waldstetten?

All best,

– Nelson

hey nelson,

no worries – cross posting happens. anyhow, seems to be working fine at my end (even with the big map). I think this happens only, if click on the image before your blog page is completely loaded, could that be? Than it’s not using the Lightbox-style zoom but loads the image only. The detailed stats work with a image map being defined when you blog loads (which is located in the footer of your page for better readability of the page HTML source). Obviously this can’t work if you load the image only.

hope this helps,
cheers,
-tmb

ps: what’s you long/lat values?
 
 
 
 
 

We cross posted. Sorry I didn’t see your #73 solution when I wrote my PS in #74.

Anyhow, it works! You’re a champ! Thank you so much!!!

One thing I notice, in the big map the cursor turns into a magnifying glass with a “+” in it and looses the capability (as it has in the small map) to click on a spot to see the hits detail. Is that normal?

Thanks again,

– Nelson

Maybe this will help. At least it’s what seemed to make a difference for me, finally.

All I needed to do is go into cPanel and phpMyAdmin for my database, open the wp_statpress table (my WP stats plugin is StatPress) and check the name for the field that holds my IPs (in my case the name is “ip”) and then went to my setting for “remote IP field name:” in the IPCCP Options admin screen and changed it accordingly (its default was “IP” so I reset it as “ip”). Then I had to click “Update Settings and Redraw”. Then I went back to my screen that was already displaying my map and click to “refresh”.

That seemed to take care of it for me. I hope it’s as straight forward for you.

Best wishes,

– Nelson

PS – tmb, I still would like to get the big map to pop up separately instead of at the bottom of my existing map page, if possible. See my #70 posting for my experience with zoom.js. (Thanks :o)

@Nelson: That Line14 thing was my mistake. I was using a different version on my server than you and totally forgot about it … LOL. I checked your version and here is what you have to change:
Line 193 change from
ipccp_zoomStyleSheet.setAttribute
('href','/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/zoom.css');
to
ipccp_zoomStyleSheet.setAttribute
('href','/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/zoom.css');
and the similarly Line 242 from
ipccp_loadPreloader.src
= '/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/ZoomProgress.png';
to
ipccp_loadPreloader.src
= '/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/ZoomProgress.png';
You can see the pattern: you have to get rid of the reference to the (in your case) not existing folder “wordpress” . Sorry about the confusion. Oh and what’s your Log/Lat-values? I’ll try it here to see what’s wrong there

@Poppa: Thanks for trying. What are those “generating messages appears at the bottom” you are referring to. Please post the output here so we can figure out what’s happening.

@Tim: Nelson posted his solution in nr.67 – it was a spelling mistake as the correct column was spelled “ip” and not “IP” (lower case letters!).

hope this helps,
cheers,
-tmb

Just wondering how Nelson fixed his problem with the IPs not being picked up.

All I am getting is:

Cluster Map Generation Started
0s >> Setting up GeoIP DONE
1s >> Fetching database entries (SELECT IP FROM wp_makingitupCounterize) DONE (5 entries)
1s >> finished fetching 0 entries
1s >> Finished with additional drawings
Done generating a new cluster map

I have checked the db and they sure look like IPs to me.

Yesterday, I was able to get IPCCP and counterize installed only to realize that there was a WHOLE lot more involved than typical plugins. After working through the MySQL documentation for a few hours and adding the IP_Counterize table to my established DB was I finally able to get counterize up and running.

And this is where I am stuck. Though the only IPs in counterize are mine (about 20) and IPCCP appears to be properly configured, it seems that IPCCP dumps whenever I select Update Options & Redraw. The message “Settings Saved” appears across the top of the page and generating messages appears at the bottom, nothing ever does show up, even after waiting about 10 minutes. Again, less than 40 hits according to counterize, so I would’ve guessed less than a minute to generate, as seen from the examples below.

Any ideas?

Cheers!!
PB

Thanks so much for helping with this. Yes, happily, my map is beginning to look like a mild case of measles. (Two spots so far in Deutschland, not sure which is yours. :o)

I looked in zoom.js and I didn’t see anything about the PlugInPath. Here’s what I have for zoom.js lines 11 to 24 inclusive:

var zoomAnimationWaitTimer = null, zoomAnimationTimer = null, zoomAnimationFrame = 0;
var isFirstZoom = true;

function ipccp_getScrollY() {

if (self.pageYOffset) { return self.pageYOffset; }
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop) { return document.documentElement.scrollTop; }
else if (document.body) { return document.body.scrollTop; }

return 0;

}

I tried adding “var PlugInPath = ‘/wp-content/plugins/ipccp’;” at line 14 but it didn’t seem to make a difference.

So, as close as I’ve gotten, I’m still not quite there yet. . .

Also, I’m curious about the “Add my place” function. I’ve specified both my longitude and latitude, but there is only a vertical line that runs up and down at my longitude. Nothing to indicate where my latitude is except that I have a red dot. But that’s from my own IP in the database, right? So I’m a bit confused here, too.

Thanks again, tmb, and cheers,

– Nelson

looks about right now. I see some smal dots all over you map (I definitely could see the place where I live ;) As far as the big image is concerned, there’s a pretty simple solution:
http://inrockland.us/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/zoom.css not found
http://inrockland.us/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/ZoomProgress.png not found

looks like you are not using the standard WordPress-folder. Instead it seems like you’ve got all your WordPress stuff in your main directory. But don’t worry! All you have to change is line 14 in your ipccp/zoom/zoom.js file from:
var PlugInPath = '/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/ipccp';
to
var PlugInPath = '/wp-content/plugins/ipccp';

at least I think this should do the trick :)
cheers,
-tmb

This is so, so COOL!

I’d still like to be able to have the large map pop out (like target=”_blank”) rather than appear at the bottom of the http://inrockland.us/visitors/ page as it does now. Any way to achieve this?

Thanks again, tmb, I’m very pleased with this. :o)

Thanks for having a look at this. OK, the first part of my problem is that I needed the “remote IP field name” to be specified as “ip” not IP”. Done.

Now I get…

…but I still have no clusters showing. Also, now it generates the large map at the bottom of the page where my small map is located ( http://inrockland.us/visitors/ ). I’d really like the large map to pop out a new page instead of showing up on the small map page. Any way to adjust settings for this?

Many thanks.

thanks for trying the plugin. You got a couple things mixed up there. First of all, IPCCP should get it’s entries from a WordPress database containing IP numbers. In your case you are using the field “IP” in the table “wp_statpress”. Judging from here, it seems like even though there’s 42 entries in that table, none of them is a valid IP. Usually the first lines should looks something like:

1s >> Fetching database entries (SELECT IP FROM wp_Counterize) DONE (187430 entries)
[...]
15s >> finished fetching 187430 entries


As to logfiles: IPCCP can also fetch the IP numbers from logfiles. You will need access to your logfile on your server to do so (wouldn’t be much help to you if you used the vimagic-logfile ;-) As logfiles come in all kind of formates, parsing them is somewhat of an issue. The PHP/rexp-savvy may use their own logfile filter if the build in one doesn’t work properly. In your case it’s probably best to untick the “include logfile” and leave the two fields in the settings blank. Especially if you’ve entered anything in the second field that may explain why all your 42 (possibly correctly fetched IPs) get rejected.

let me know how it went,
cheers,
-tmb

ps @Paradox: neat idea, even though I’m not much of a Google fanboy, I admit there’s some charm in the idea. I’ll keep it in mind for a future release (see ToDo list).

Dazed and confuzed — but hopeful! :oP

Here’s the Generating New Cluster Map feedback:

Thanks for any guidance.

– Nelson

don’t worry about the emails – I’m happy to help. I found your problem: you are using “Counterize II” which as of version 2.13.0 does NOT store IP numbers anymore
(see counterize.php:
New in 2.13.0
- no more ip-logging (this is illegal in some countries e.g. Germany)
counterize stores only a small hash to distingiush between two users
and to get information about the user count)

Hence you can not use IPCCP. You need either “Counterize”
http://andersdrengen.dk/projects/counterize/ or use an older version of “Counterize II” if you want to use IPCCP.

cheers,
-tmb

I’m sending in attachment a zip file with my folder ipccp into my blog and a
screenshot of my configuration (screenshot_Eduardo.jpg).

Please, Can you help me? This is my first experience with IPCCP and Blogs
and I have too many doubts.

Others information that I think are important:

- WordPress: 2.5.1 (Portuguese)
- My Themes doesn’t use widgets

Thanks a lot,

Important is the line “finished fetching 187430 entries” which in your log reads “finished fetching 0 entries”. Basically this means, that IPCCP couldn’t find any IPs in your database. I’ve attached a special debugging version for you – try this one. After init and loading it should say something like:

1s >> Fetching database entries (SELECT IP FROM wp_Counterize) DONE (187432 entries)
5000 database entries processed (5000 relevant IPs found)

Especially the number in the brackets is important. It givens the number of relevant IPs found in the last verified IPs. Let me know how your output looks like. And just to make sure: You are using Counterize and not Counterize II for example?

Thanks a lot for your help, but I can’t see the map with marks. Look this
message:

Cluster Map Generation Started

0s >> Fetching database entries (SELECT IP FROM wp_Counterize) DONE (6282
entries)
0s >> finished fetching 0 entries

Done generating a new cluster map

And nothing to do! What’s happened? I’ve been try to see the map in FireFox
and IE 6!!!

Tks,

as far as programming goes, it’s a rather simple feat. but as I’ve written in the ToDo-List (last item), all I’m waiting for are some license free maps (or someone that is willing to donate a map to the cause). Or do you just want to “crop” the existing map? Hmm…

cheers,
-tmb

Thanks,,

thanks for the feedback. The problem you have is a simple one: GeoIP rejected a faulty lookup call. Somewhere in your database the string “4ce21b21887f050e” got entered for an IP number (or maybe you’ve got the wrong database/table/key combination?). Anyway so far IPCCP assumed to receive only correctly formatted IPs. Big assumtion coming from a lazy programmer ;) It should be fixed now.

While I was at it I also speeded things up somewhat major. Hence the new version is recommended for everybody.
cheers,
-tmb

First of all, congratulation to Mr.Thomas M. Bösel for this perfect plugin. I need a help to use the IP City Cluster. I installed in my blog, but there are an erros. Look at below:

What’s wrong? It’s look like that the field IP in database is not correspond as the same in GeoIP. I saw here (43rd Post) that Erik had the same problem, but I cound not see the solution.

Thanks a lot

Eduardo

perfect.

This is some pretty cool thing you got going here. Gonna check out the remaining site pages to see if there are any updates. ;)

Cheers! :)

$im_clustered=$this->_LoadJPG($this->loadFile);

Which I felt strange. When I commented out this line, the program “works fine” until the image processing part, which means the data retrieving and clustering went on without problem. I’ll try my best to debug this.

Also the script complained “Call to undefined function utf8_encode()”, the server’s php5 functionality seems to be very crippled.

Anyway, the error message is gone and I can activate the plugin. But now at the Options screen, when I click Update Settings and Redraw, it never gets pass
0s >> Setting up GeoIP

Has this problem occured to anyone else? (I tried Higher performance and Memory efficient)

Version 4 uses php.ini and version 5 uses php5.ini, so maybe it’s calling PHP version 4 when it should do 5?

It’s a virtual private server running Linux/Apache (sorry I don’t know the versions)

as written in the FAQ above, this error happens whenever you try to run the plugin on an PHP4 Server. Are you positive your site is running PHP5 or better?

cheers,
-tmb

I am having two little problems:

First, IPCCP can’t insert the image map into the template I am using now. Weird, because it shows the map in other templates.

Second, when it shows image maps (into other templates), IPCCP shows the big image in the page footer. Is there some way to solve this (I already changed the .js path, removing ‘/wordpress’ prefix, but it didn’t solve the problem).

Thanks a lot,
Rodrigo.

your webserver is not running on PHP5, which is required for GeoIP to work. Please upgrade (or ask you provider whether PHP5 is already available) and everything should work fine.

Whats wrong ??

Regards Carlos

I got confused by the note above that says “Make sure the webserver has write permissions on those /images/ipccp_out* files.” The leading slash made me think it was at the root level of the Wordpress installation, not the root level of the plugin’s installation.

One suggestion for a wording change that initially tripped me up. At the top of the Options screen one is prompted for “Referer field name.” That had me confused with the stats plugin’s HTTP Referer field, which is different of course than the field containing the remote IP address.

Now I just can’t seem to get the preview to appear at the bottom of the Options screen. The graphics are generated without error, but there isn’t an IMG tag included in the generated Options screen to load the world map graphic.

I have created the /images directory at the top of the WordPress installation and the web server has permission to write to it. All of the settings in the Options page are the defaults.

This looks really cool — I hope I can get it to work!

ps: line 242 for example should look something like:
ipccp_loadPreloader.src = '/wp-content/plugins/ipccp/zoom/ZoomProgress.png';

Do I have to adjust the %parameters%? (you’ve noticed I’m not an expert in programming).

it says WordPress database error: [Table ‘astroblogs.wp_Counterize’ doesn’t exist] – I take it you don’t have Counterize installed? You will need some statistics plug-in that keeps track of the User-IP. Pretty much any of the common plug-ins will do that for you. Another method would be by using the servers logfile, but I don’t know whether this is available to you.

And at my site no picture is visible.

[Update] I found the mixup that could cause a recluster call at the first activation of the plug-in and fixed it. my bad!

Do I have to change this?

Thanks for the report – I’ll add some code catching empty returns.

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'FROM' at line 1]

[Update] just did a little comparison. Reading from a 352.410.753 byte logfile with no filter processing time increased from 400s to 521s when using the non cached GeoIP database call.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19441809 bytes) in /storage/ mijndomein/ users/ 032386/ public/ sites/ http://www.astroblogs.nl/ wp-content/ plugins/ ipccp/ GeoIP/ GeoIP.php on line 361

Has this something to do with an exceding of the maximum PHP execution time?

:-(

so far using PHP4 is the only reason that error occured with me. Try this little script from within the IPCCP folder:
< ?php
require_once "GeoIP/GeoIP.php";
$geoip_country = Net_GeoIP::getInstance("GeoIP/GeoIP.dat", Net_GeoIp::MEMORY_CACHE);
$geoip_city=Net_GeoIP::getInstance("GeoIP/GeoLiteCity.dat",Net_GeoIp::MEMORY_CACHE);
print phpversion()."\n";
?>

When run under PHP4:

root% php4 geoip_tester.php
Parse error: parse error, expecting `'('' in /blog.vimagic.de/ Net_GeoIP_TestEnv/ geoip_tester.php on line 3


When run under PHP5:

root% php5 geoip_tester.php
5.1.5


otherwise I’ve got no clue why the GeoIP call should fail.
hmmm,

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘(‘ in / home/ mysite/ public_html/ wptest/ wp-content/ plugins/ ipccp/ ipccp.php on line 329

that’s most likely a PHP error. I take it your server is running with PHP4 or something. GeoIP requires PHP5. Sorry about that! Update PHP (ask your provider, maybe they are running both versions) and it should work fine!

thanks for testing,

I’m using clustrmaps, but your plugin sounds very useful! But when I activated the plugin I got an error:
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘)’, expecting ‘(‘ in /storage/ mijndomein/ users/ 032386/ public/ sites/ http://www.astroblogs.nl/ wp-content/ plugins/ ipccp/ ipccp.php on line 329″

Do you know what’s causing this?
