cool wordpress plugin wp-geotrack (with my litte php modification)

If you’re a WordPress Blogger: Try to install the wp-geotrack plugin. It’s cool, man!
Visual tracking your sites visitors without any work to do:

WP-GEOTRACK (WordPress Plugin)

Unfortunatelly I have a lot of “bad” visitors trying to spam my guestbook. Also this spam attacs are been logged by wp-geotrack. But actually I dont’ want wp-geotrack to log them because they also will be displayed as regular visitors. So I made a little wp-geotrack modification:

Go to your /plugins directory

Edit wp_geotrack.php

Around line 530 following code can be found:

$uri = addslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

After this line, add following code and change ti to your behaviour, so it should look like this:

$uri = addslashes($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
// MODIFICATION TO NOT DETECT TO A SPECIFIC URL (JULY 2007)
if (strpos($uri,'guestbook') != false)
{
return;
}

In this examle, any page with the string “guestbook” in it will not be logged by wp-geotrack.
Save it. That’s it.

See it running here at SERPland’s Visitor List
