There was some interest on my forum post about tracking item visitors, so I decided to upload my script for others to use. This dashboard allows Envato authors to see a quick overview of their account, sales, and item hits.

Version 1.1 features

This initial version of this app had the following features:

• overview of how many sales, hits, and earnings you have made today
• recent item sales
• item hits and unique visitors
• pay rates
• daily item sales vs. item visits
• browser breakdown (firefox, ie, safari, etc..) of item viewers
• show data in your local time zone
• currency conversions (for those non US authors)
• average of how much you earn per day

Version 1.4 features

Version 1.4 improves on the above features and brings some more to the table:

• Shows your most recent comments across all items (even replies hidden half way through the list) – link to the comment so you can reply
• a new “this time in history” on the Sales vs Visitor graph, so you can see how you are performing right now compared to previous days.
• new round robin’ish caching code to increase page load times for people with 20+ items
• better countdown for next pay rise, eg: 6 days, $321, 73 sales left until you reach 45%
• auto refresh every 10 minutes
• quick summary in title bar (gmail style) of todays sale and comment count

This app requires the use of your envato details, so I have decided to not provide a live preview.

Requirements:

• Linux hosting account (users report Windows IIS6 works too)
• PHP version 5
• MySQL database (for cache and storing item hits)
• an Envato author account
• you will need to add the tracking script to each of your items to begin recording hits
• curl must be enabled on your php hosting account
• it probably wont work if php safe mode is enabled, curl “follow location” needs to work

Security:

This application does not store your username or password. It will only store your “cookie” (the same way that your web browser stores the cookie after you login here). Please ensure your web host is secure in order to keep this cookie safe.

Future Versions:

If there is enough interest, I will continue to release future versions with enhancements and more interesting stats.

Feel free to ask me any questions, or submit any suggestions.

I have only been able to test this on my items (a small amount compared to some other authors). So there may be some issues with too much information displaying on the graphs. If you use this script with lots of items (30+) please PM me with any suggestions / problems and we can work together to create a better app.

- This app is not affiliated with Envato in any way

note you need to enter your envato login details into the login screen, if there are any pre-filled ones they are probable from your (eg:) wordpress install.
