Welcome to our community, Carol
I'm assuming you have read through the thread in its
entirety. If so, you should be aware of the RoboHelp Server
component. That is an additional component that one may purchase
from Adobe. If you have it installed and in place, you will then be
able to run reports on topics and how frequently they were
accessed. But I would also point out that the folks that run your
web servers probably already have such information available
without the added expense and configuration of the RoboHelp Server
product.
Wow, I find it odd that by my having serious questions as to
why hit counters are desired that it seems to come off to you as me
being arrogant. But if it did, it did. I certainly don't intend for
it to be that way, but I suppose there isn't much I can do about
that. Please understand that I used to work with Microsoft
FrontPage back in the day. Hit counters were always more of a
novelty than anything else. Heck, FP allowed you to set the initial
value! So you could put up a page and proclaim it had already been
visited 2,000,000 times. So I probably view these with more of a
critical eye than most do.
In your case it would seem that you have the need in order to
determine if hackers are attempting to access unauthorized pages?
If so, you are correct. That is a new one on me. And to be honest,
I'm not sure how a hit counter would help with that. Unless perhaps
a higher degree of access was being requested for a specific page.
You could then maybe examine traffic to see if you could resolve to
IP addresses and whatnot. But I'm not a web admin, so I have no
clue if this would work as I'm imagining.
The bottom line is that there is no magic code to insert in
topics. It's not a part of RoboHelp. And even if you have the
RoboHelp Server component, there is no magic code you insert in
topics to make it happen. It's a function of what runs on the
server.
Given your requirements that nothing external be used, I'm
going to suggest that you have a discussion with your web admin
folks to see what reporting they can offer based on their own
server statistics.
Cheers... Rick
