Clicktale with Blogger/ Blogspot

I am curious to know how visitors are finding my blog content. I heard lot of good things about this tool, Clicktale, and I implemented for my blog. Just two steps to get started:
1) Create an account with Clicktale and get the tracking code for your domain. I used http://sguthula.blogspot.com as domain. The instructions to get the tracking code are simple and easy to follow.
2) Login to your Blogspot account. Choose "Layout" and "Edit HTML" as shown in the picture below. Copy the tracking code provided by Clicktale.

CAUTION: Take a backup of your html in the "Edit HTML" box to revert back to your previous state of the blog when you do not need the tracking.



Earlier, same technique I used to enable google analytics on this blog. You may find this useful even for integrating google analystics with your Blogspot account. We get similar information from Google analytics and Clicktale, but their presentation is different. Clicktale captures "Mouse Movements" that might be very useful for websites tracking user behaviour and redesign the site for better usability and convertibility (incase of e-commerce applications).

Grails - cross-field Date validation

Often we run into domain classes with date fields. If the domain class has two datefields, startDate and endDate, and the rule for a valid combination is "endDate to be greater than startDate", how do we handle? I listed below two of the options, either using domain level constraints or using the domain classes. Option 1: Using domain constraints. Let us take a sample Grails Domain class class Student{ String name String school Date startDate Date endDate } Add the following constraints to enforce validation rules where name, school, startDate cannot be blank and endDate if present should be greater than startDate.

Grails - Querying complex associations

Criteria class allows performing complex searches on grails objects. There are number of shortcut methods for performing queries but these methods have limitations in terms of number of conditions used in "where clauses". Traditional sql "joins" are not possible as shown in some of the Grails "Finder" methods shown below. Sample 1: def list = AccountTransaction.findAllByCompanyCodeAndVoucherDateBetween(branch, fromDate, toDate, params) Sample 2: def list = AccountTransaction.findAllByCompanyCodeAndVoucherDateGreaterThanEquals(branch, fromDate, params) Sample 3: def list = AccountTransaction.findAllByCompanyCodeAndTransGroup(branch, group, params) "params" contains attributes related to sorting, paging etc. It is very easy to use finder methods but when you want to filter objects by more conditions we need to look for alternatives. For understanding the relationships used in this sample, I listed the grails domain classes. class TransactionTyp

Implementing advanced sort in Grails

The "list" pages generated by inbuilt scaffolding/template features of grails have pagination and sorting features. However, if the domain object displayed in the list is a nested object having another domain object as a property, you may notice that sort is not enabled for that field. Boiler plate code for the header of the list is shown below. As you would have noticed few columns have sortable columns automatically generated by Grails command, generate-all or generate-views. The properties 'partyAccount' and 'bankAccount' in this sample are domain classes nested in the domain class 'partyTransaction'. We could convert them to sortable columns by using the tag g:sortableColum
