No Page Startup Event in 8.0.17

[sydney.bergeron]

I recently upgraded our Ignition Instance from 8.0.14 to 8.0.17.

I was hoping I'd be able to use the Page Startup Session Event to do some tracking of which pages get visited the most.

Kind of like this:

Page Startup Event - Get Current User

Is it possible to get the current user’s user id/name from within the Page Startup event? Without a reference to self or session, I’ve not been able to. Thanks. [Screenshot 2020-11-05 144546]

Is there no page startup event in 8.0.17? Does it only exist in 8.0.16?

It looks like this event wasn’t added until 8.1.0.

Ah, I linked the wrong Forum post.

This one references 8.0.16. But it could be a mistake.

'Usage Tracking' with Auditing?

We are interested in tracking our project(s) page/view usage by user - a bit like Google Analytics, but much simpler. It seems the Auditing feature gets close to this, but I am unsure if it can be configured to do what we want, which is basically to log the project, page/view being visited along with the current user and timestamp, preferably into a database table (like the Audit feature does). What options do we have here? Thanks.

I think it must be a mistake. In our issue tracker it's got 8.1.0 set as the release version and the commit history seems to indicate the same.

8.1 is not supported with the same license. Would have to pay to upgrade.

[sydney.bergeron]

Thanks Kevin!

8.1 is not supported with the same license.

So you upgraded to a non-long-term version without planning to upgrade after its (very short) life? That's on you.

That's not a particularly helpful comment, is it?

I was just replying to Victor's question about why we hadn't upgraded to 8.1. I never claimed it wasn't "on us."
