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).

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...

CCAvenue and Magento Integration

India based e-commerce portals have to consider CCAvenue Payment Gateway as one of option for its simplicity and reliability. Magento e-commerce platform has several ready to use payment gateway plugins and a rich set of API to enhance its functionality to add new payment gateways that are not provided as part of its standard release. For one the projects we have to integrate Magento with CCavaenue. We browsed several forums for a free and ready to use plugin without much luck. Though there is no mention of any such plugin on CCAvenue website, we just tried calling the CCAvenue help desk and immediately we got an integration toolkit with detailed steps for integration. It works like a charm.
