Punbb and Reinvigorate stats tracking

Name Tags are an easy way to identify exactly who your visitors are.

It works by associating information your site manages (username, e-mail, account ID, etc..) with the session ID Reinvigorate uses to track visitors on your site/blog.

It's extremely simple to setup, even if your site uses its own proprietary user account system. 1-2 extra lines of code and we take care of the rest.

Reinvigorate uses two global JavaScript variables which let you customize your visitors Name Tags, re_name_tag and re_context_tag. The re_context_tag variable is optional and may be left out. It's provided in case you want to associate additional information with your visitors (ie- Username/Email, Username/Website, etc..). If you use re_context_tag, e-mail and website addresses should be respectively prefixed with mailto: or http://

Name Tag Code

You will need to write server-side code to output a visitor identifier, something like the code below. This code must be placed above the function call to re_("...");

var re_name_tag = "Username/Identifier";

For example, the following pseudo PHP code shows how one might use re_name_tag. The code is based on two assumptions. First, the PHP variable $is_logged_in is set to true if a user is logged in. Second, the variable $username contains a users username.

var re_name_tag = "<?php
echo $is_logged_in ? $username : "";
?>";

After installing code like above, Reinvigorate will automatically detect the change and display name tags on any applicable report.
