Leapfrog - Dynamic Vistor Tracking
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2
--------------------------------------------------
What is Leapfrog?
--------------------------------------------------
Leapfrog is a refreshing way to look at the behaviour
of visitors in your store. It lets you see what people
are looking at on your site in realtime in a graphical
format.
DEMO AVAILABLE AT:
http://www.oscommerce-tips.com/leapfrog/Leapfrog.html
Leapfrog can:
* Be installed in minutes, like any other contribution
* Update automatically - no need for constant page refreshes
* Be a more visual and fun way to track visitors
--------------------------------------------------
How It Works
--------------------------------------------------
Think of Leapfrog as a ladder. Recent visitors are at
the top of the ladder, older visitors are at the bottom.
Whenever a visitor interacts with your site they are
moved from their current position to the top of the
ladder. When a visitor stops clicking, they gradually
slide down the ladder as more recent visitors battle
for the top spot!
The last three clicks for each visitor on the ladder
are displayed, along with their IP address, total
number or clicks, refering URL and total time on
your site.

Information For Developers
--------------------------------------------------
Leapfrog is written in Flex and PHP. Flex is a
programming language that is compiled to a SWF
file that can be run in Flash Player.
To edit some of the advanced features of this contribution
you will need the Adobe Flex 2 SDK. This is FREE and
can be downloaded from:

This fixes a bug in V1.3 that caused either no clicks to be tracked, or spiders to be misidentified.
Simply replace catalog/includes/functions/leapfrog.php with the file included in this package.
THIS IS NOT THE FULL LEAPFROG PACKAGE. ONLY APPLY THIS PATCH TO LEAPFROG V1.3.
Many thanks to abra123cadabra for spotting this bug and providing the fix. The original post can be found here.
