click paths in logs or analytics? - analytics

I'm trying to see the path my users take when clicking thru a web app I have. I've got logs, awstats and webalizer on the server-side, and I'm looking to install some sort of analytical product. I don't see any breadcrumb/click path data in my log files. Am I missing it? Barring that, what analytical products (Yahoo, Google, etc) can do this?
Thanks.

You can try GAVisual a small tool for Google Analytics which can show you users paths with waves (page by page) visualisation. It uses GA data for your site which was collected before.

I believe Google Analytics supports this via a site overlay that shows which links users clicked on each page. I don't think it will do per-user tracking, but the site overlay gives you a good idea of how users in general navigate through your site.
Regardless, I would highly recommend Google Analytics - super easy to set up and really powerful.

Woopra can show click-through paths in real time and on reports. It uses colors to visualize bounces (red) and popup links (green).
The downsides: free only while in Beta, and it can take a while for your subscription request to get approved.
Google Analytics does summary reports for entrance and exit paths and bounce rates, but it cannot show such a compelling picture as Woopra at the individual user level.

Suggested ways to take a screenshot of a react page

I have a react app that serves a live dashboard to clients (SPA).
Within that dashboard, I have what you might call a 'summary' page that gives the user a periodic summary (in a timeframe of their choosing).
Some of those users, want to receive a periodic report (a screesnhot of that summary) as PDF to their emails.
My struggle is with the report generation part - one thing that I'm trying is do is have an automated process login to my webpage and take a screenshot.
However, it feels not best-practice, and causes issues (the page has an MFA that I somehow need to bypass, etc.) .
Bottom line, I was wondering if there is a known process to do what I'm looking for.
Thanks.

AngularJS application problems appearance in Google search

I have a personal project which consumes my free time and effort for about a year without significant profit. I have problems with it appearance in Google and would really appreciate to get help here.
This project (http://yuppi.com.ua - similar to craiglist in US) is WEB-based AngularJS 1.2 application that uses PHP rest API hosted on GoDaddy. And in order to make this application popular it have to be very visible in internet and very searchable in Google and users have to be able to share pages via social networks or skype.
According to Google specification, google crawlers doesn't run javascript to get content of a web page before index, so I've added _escaped_fragment_ page that displays content of web page without javascript. For example:
Page: http://yuppi.com.ua/#!/items/sub/18/_
Dirty : yuppi.com.ua/?_escaped_fragment_=/items/sub/18/_
This dirty page will be redirected here where google will see content.
http://yuppi.com.ua/server/crawler_proxy/routee.php?path=/items/sub/18/
So basically I have two versions on HTML file for that page. One version is the one that available to users, which has styles, a lot more HTML tags etc. And the second is the version for Google crawler - very light-weight without any styles. And I am expecting to see clean link to my site in Google, not dirty.
So, If to search all links to a web site in Google you will see that one of the links displays it's "dirty" state.
Another problem is sharing links in Skype.
When I send a link to someone, I am expecting that this link will be transformed to thumbnail image but it is not happens. Instead I see ungly link to my web site.
Please help me to understand how to make happy everyone: users, google crawler, GoDaddy and me.
I was encountering the same problems last year with a big project and we ended to use : https://prerender.io/.
It's a prerendering system that work with a phantomjs browser to detect bot request and render a full html template. It does also instanciate a cache service to not render again a template that haven't change.
Hope it help's.

Where to get a web graph with corresponding web pages dataset

I'm trying to implement PageRank algorithm on a set of web pages, for that I need a sample dataset of web pages, and the web graph corresponding to them, this web graph represents the links between the pages that the data set contains.
I need the web graph so I can get the transition matrix and do the calculation needed. Example:
URL1 -> URL2
URL3390 -> URL5
URLxxxx is an id, somehow mapped to the corresponding web page
My question is: how/where can I get this resource (I've tried many links on the internet but nothing really helps), I would also like it to be not of a very large size, (internet connection limitation), if I can't have this as it is, could sou give me some advice on what I should do?
Update: for people who may consider this off topic, and they may be right, networks like Software Recommendation or on Computer Science, don't even have corresponding tags, and doesn't really fit the kind of this question, I appreciate your help.
May be Site Visualizer is the tool you're looking for. The app has the feature to generate visual sitemap.
Download and install the app (Standard or Pro version), click Create new project toolbutton, type the URL of the website you need to crawl, and then click Start button.
After the crawling is finished, click Draw button on the Visual Sitemap tab. Graph of the website will be drawn as a set of pages (rectangles) and links (lines with arrows). Click on a box to select the certain page and highlight its outbound links:
Dataset of all links of the website you can get by using All Links report (on the Reports tab). 'From URL' and 'To URL' columns are what you need.
Besides of that, you can represent a dataset of pages or links of the crawled website by using your particular SQL query. For instance, go to the Database tab, type the following query and click Execute toolbutton:
SELECT * FROM links WHERE link_type='A'
The resultset will contain only A-tag links, excluding images, CSS files, JS, etc.
The program has full-featured 30-days trial period, so you can carry out your tasks for free.
you might try searching for datasets used in supplementary information for PageRank papers. Here's an example:
this paper: http://langvillea.people.cofc.edu/ReorderingPageRank.pdf
uses this dataset:
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs685/2002fa/data/gr0.California
which supposedly contains 9,664 nodes and 16,773 links. The links are at the end of the file and appear to be in a connection format similar to what you're looking for.
from this page (which also has other datasets):
http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs685/2002fa/
here's a few other pages that aggregate network datasets:
http://snap.stanford.edu/data/, see particularly

Issues with displaying salesforce rich text editor image

We are having few rich text box in our custom objects in force.com enterprise edition. These rich text box are rendered in an android application given to our clients. Till now we were using the android app online but due to huge customer demand, we wish to make our app offline. But we are facing difficulties due to images in rich text box. The images in rich text box are stored as in a form
But when we try to use the android app offline, we cannot see the images in webview. Consulting our web developer, he said that the images do not have static path and so they cannot be downloaded and stored for offline use. So my query is, is there some way, which will help us to get static path for the images inserted in Rich Text Box available in force.com, so that we can use them offline.
Thanks!
I had the same problem some time ago and also raised the issue with salesforce. They got back to me saying that images within rich text boxes could be stored in any server and needs to be authenticated to via a browser to have access too.
But you could try to use this, but its not a guaranteed approach as salesforce can change the way they store images.

Hope this helps.
Here's the response from SFDC :
As discussed over the call, as of now Salesforce does not have this feature built in the current release, else we would be more than happy to help you.
However, you can also post an idea on our Idea Exchange, where our customers share their ideas and expectations. (http://sites.force.com/ideaexchange/ideaHome)
Please feel free to contact us, if you need any further assistance.
Thank you for contacting salesforce.

how to make google web page tree view in google search?

I'm looking for a code that Google or yahoo or bing or ... will automatically show web page tree view.
tree view of website it depends on sitemap, so, how can we set that Google will show website tree in Google search result, something like contact us page and other pages will appear in down of domain name that user will be able to click on those tree view links.
I really appropriate for your posts and comments about this issue.
Regards
It's not totally up to you, Google will decide when and if they are going to show that and it's only for the top result. You should add your site to Webmasters Tools and you can read more about Sitelinks.
