tips and tricks for movable type

top referrers
March 24, 2002

I need to add the popup for my Top Referrers list.

Here's the code, courtesy of Kiffin from this Community Forum topic.

Javascript function:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function OpenTopReferers()
{
window.open('/cgi/topreferer/displayreferers.cgi',
'topreferers',
'width=600,height=500,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=no');
}
// -->
</script>

Link to popup:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="OpenTopReferers()">top referers</a><img src="/cgi/topreferer/referers.cgi?<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER"-->" width=1 height=1 border=0><br />

Note: your server must support Server Side Includes for this to work! And of course, you must be using the Top Referers script.

Update 08.25.02: Done!

I modified the popup code to mimic that of MT's OpenComments function (to make it more friendly to those not using Javascript when browsing):

Javascript function:

function OpenTopReferers (c) {
window.open(c,
'topreferers',
'width=575,height=480,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=no');
}

Link to popup:

<a href="/cgi/topreferer/displayreferers.cgi" onclick="OpenTopReferers(this.href); return false">top 100 referrals</a><br />

I put this code elsewhere on my main page (because I use template modules for my sidebar stuff):

<img src="/cgi/topreferer/referers.cgi?<!--#echo var="HTTP_REFERER"-->" width=1 height=1 border=0>

I also just used full paths everywhere; for some reason, that seems to work better for my brain.

is not well.

The script linked above is not working there (confidence-builder, non?) and cannot be downloaded either

Since it's given on the site as" is free to download and use" on the site could you possibly post it here?

many thanks

I just tested the link I posted, and downloaded the script again with no problems. You might want to try again.

I was looking at your top 100 referrers list and was wondering how you made it say "hidden-referrer". I just have a blank space on mine. By the way, your site is super helpful for a beginner like me! Thanks again!

Hmmm. I don't think I'm doing anything to make it show that - I think the referrer has blocked it themself?

hmm, ok thanks. maybe it's blank because there is no referrer...ha. got it. thanks again!

I want to thank you for the referer scripts above. The Top Referer works great. However, I would like to know if there is a way t make my "Top 100 Referral" pop-up look just like my comments pop-up (i.e., make it look like the rest of my weblog). Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey Girlie! Thank you so much for this Lil'bit of help in setting up a top refers,

However is there a way to make a CCS sheet from blog/MT/ also Be used with top refers pop up Window that you know off?

I'd love it to blend with that look I currently have for my MT domain.
