I'm just wondering if there is a module tag in Business Catalyst which will enable me to display the visitor count and page views automatically on a webpage.
No, there is not a module that will allow you to view that data on the frontend of a site.
You could run a report and then upload that PDF to a page if you are looking to allow certain users access to visitor data without allowing backend access.
The other option would be to find an analytics provider that has an API or some method of allowing you to display this data on the frontend of your site.

I have a site I sent my clients to who want to move forward with our order process and I want the information they submit to automatically fill in the form under the opportunity. I was wondering how this was possible. I know you can set up a web to lead form but I dont see this option for what I want to do.
There is no native Opportunity feature equivalent for Web-to-lead or Web-to-Case. You do have a lot of options though (ordered from simplest to most complex).
Use an app on the AppExchange that provide web-to-x functionality.
Use a pre-built connector for popular CMS apps to integrate with Salesforce.
Create a Visualforce Page hosted on Force.com sites and then embed that on your website
Create an Apex Web Service hosted on Force.com sites that can be posted to by your form
Write code on your web platform to post to the Salesforce API.
I am using NodeWebKIT for a desktop application with AngularJS front-end and using SailsJS in backend.
In app, currently user can chat, create some documents and add comments on it.
I need to get a statistics about app like:
How many are chatting
How many are creating documents
How many are active in app
How much time are they active in app
Who are not using app at all
How many are viewing documents, etc
I need to log all this data and later render it in ADMIN panel so that admin can view statistics about app.
Is there any way this can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance
I'm a web developer and I want to integrate a project of mine with salesforce.com. There is a tremendous amount of documentation on the salesforce.com site, but I can't figure out where and how to start.
I want to display part of the existing UI (HTML5) in a sf.com tab.
The functionality of this extra tab will need to access contacts etc. entered in sf.com.
What's the best strategy to do this? Is there a document/blog somewhere to get me started?
To display an external web page within Salesforce, it's possible to set up a "Web Tab" in Salesforce (Setup | App Setup | Create | Tabs). However, if you want to access Salesforce data with-in the web page in the Web Tab, I would recommend creating a Visualforce Page with an iFrame in it, instead. Using that method, you can pass querystring parameters like the Session ID for the current user, or other data.
To access data from the page in the Visualforce page iFrame or web tab, you would need to use one of the APIs Salesforce makes available such as:
Web Services API
REST API
AJAX Toolkit
For more information on this type of integration, see this answer to another question.
I am new to web application development. I want to develop an java/mysql/tomcat web application. I want to make the application so that the data inside the database can be searchable by any search engine. How do I implement that?
Search engines don't read your database. They read the web pages. Make it so that all the information that you want searchable is accessible by following non-AJAX links from the outside. If you hide the information behind a login form, or even just a search form, the search engines won't be able to access the information.
I am eager to build an application with Gwt and App Engine. I'm more familiar with App Engine: creating dynamic html pages with servlets and jsp's. I'm wondering however, if this type of application technology belongs with GWT?
The two examples I can foresee being a problem are login and database retrieval.
For user log-in, my current approach is simple: at the beginning of a servlet, check if the user object exists. If it does, show the page. If it doesn't, redirect to Google's login service. How does this model fit in with GWT? It seems to me that GWT compiles into static html/javascript/css files you place on your server. With this approach, it doesn't seem possible to do any server processing to check for a vlid user before serving the static page (because any user could just bypass the servlet and type the static page url directly).
The other example would be show data from the app engine datastore. If i wanted to create a table which each row being an entry from the data store, I would dynamiclly create the html in a servlet, and do my datastore access there etc, etc. It seems with GWT I would have to serve a container html page, then use ajax to load the database content after the fact?
Maybe GWT isn't right for my type of application, or maybe I'm just thing about web application development the wrong way. Some clarification would be appreciated.
In a over simplified sense, a typical GWT app will work like this:
User navigates to your web page. Their browser uses a static url(s) to download all the javascript, css, and images necessary to run your app.
From now on, every time a user presses a button or otherwise interacts with the page, data is retrieved via an AJAX call. So yes, they might download your app before logging in, but all your security sensitive data would only be returned via an ajax call, giving you the chance to validate their identity however you wish (cookie, user/pass, etc)
This is basically what you describe in your second example about loading data from the datastore. It sounds like you think this is bad for some reason, but you don't say why.
