Ping Google Analytics "Log" and the time in hh:mm:ss at intervals - Stephan's code. Seems to log custom event with GA every 1 or 1.5 seconds, with seconds elapsed since the analytics JS started running.
// Converts number of seconds to hh:mm:ss
if( typeof Number.prototype.toHHMMSS !== 'function' ) {
Number.prototype.toHHMMSS = function (){
var hours = Math.floor(this / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((this - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = this - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
var str;
str = ( hours === 0 ? '' : (hours < 10 ? '0' + hours : hours ) + ':' );
str += ( minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes ) + ':';
str += ( seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds );
return str;
}
}
var ping = function(){
var secs = new Date()
secs = Math.floor( (secs-time )/1000 )
var tos = secs.toHHMMSS()
_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Time', 'Log', tos, secs, true]);
rate = rate*1.5
pings = window.setTimeout(function () {
ping()
}, rate*1000);
}
// Timed ping
rate = 1 // secs
time = new Date()
clearTimeout( pings )
pings = window.setTimeout(function () {
ping()
}, rate*1000);
