Goal
I would like to see what is the time on page for user who is logged in. Eliminate from reports time, while user was not logged in.
To have ability to distinguish between time on page while user is not logged in and time on page while he is logged in.
Setup
Let's say we have:
Traffic variable User logged in as a prop1 where is true or false.
Traffic variable Time from previous event as a prop2 in seconds
eVar1 duplicating prop1 | expire after event5
eVar2 duplicating prop2 | expire after event5
event4 - User logged in
event5 - User logged out
Time between events
From an article about measuring time between events (https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-analytics-questions/calculate-time-between-success-events/qaq-p/302787)
if (s.events && (s.events + ",").indexOf("event4,") > -1) {
s.prop2 = "start"
}
if (s.events && (s.events + ",").indexOf("event5,") > -1) {
s.prop2 = "stop"
}
s.prop2 = s.getTimeToComplete(s.prop2, "TTC", 0);
s.getTimeToComplete = new Function("v", "cn", "e", "var s=this,d=new Date,x=d,k;if(!s.ttcr){e=e?e:0;if(v=='start'||v=='stop')s.ttcr=1;x.setTime(x.getTime()+e* 86400000);if(v=='start'){s.c_w(cn,d.getTime(),e?x:0);return '';}if(v=='stop'){k=s.c_r(cn);if(!s.c_w(cn,'',d)||!k)return '';v=(d.getTime()-k)/1000;var td=86400,th=3600,tm=60,r=5,u,un;if(v>td){u=td;un='days';}else if(v>th){u=th;un='hours';}else if(v>tm){r=2;u=tm;un='minutes';}else{r=.2;u=1;un='seconds';}v=v*r/u;return (Math.round(v)/r)+' '+un;}}return '';");
Time spent overview
From adobe docs (https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/analytics/components/metrics/time-spent.html)
A “sequence” is a consecutive set of hits where a given variable
contains the same value (whether by being set, spread forward, or
persisted). For example, prop1 “A” has two sequences: hits 1 & 2 and
hit 6. Values on the last hit of the visit do not start a new sequence
because the last hit has no time spent. Average time spent on site
uses sequences in the denominator.
So I guess I will uses prop1 as a denominator for logged in user state to count time between event in prop2 properly.
Problem
I am not pretty sure, If this approach is enough to correctly measure time spent only while user is logged in. I would appreciate some hints, how to set up eVars correctly or if I understand sequence denominator correctly.
I also set up eVars with terminating event5, but I am not sure, If this leads to desired behavior.
If you also solve this problem before, please can you lead me, how you define your segment or condition in reports.
GetTimeBetweenEvents plugin should do a job. However, it seems like it was rewritten, I have found in documentation example calls also using Launch plugins extension:

Then your eVar may looks like:
s.eVar1 = s.getTimeBetweenEvents("event1", true, "event2", true, "", 0, "s", 2, "event3");
if(Total_sell_pos() == 0 && Total_buy_pos() == 0) {
double previous_balance = AccountBalance(); //usd1000
}
if (AccountEquity() > previous_balance + (previous_balance *0.05)){ //usd1000 + 50 = usd1050
CloseSellOrders();
CloseBuyOrders();
Delete_Pendings();
}
if Equity more than usd1050 then delete pending and orders.
But why when run the code, it keep delete pending and orders immediately even when Equity is less than previous balance?
The following code is the problem, and I replace it :
AccountEquity() > previous_balance + (previous_balance *0.05)
with
AccountEquity() > 1050
then only it works. I did try to check the value :
double check_value = previous_balance + (previous_balance *0.05);
printf (check_value); //1050
May I know why I cannot use the following code?
AccountEquity() > previous_balance + (previous_balance *0.05)
Q: How to store AccountBalance() into a variable?
Let's start with the variable - declare it:
double aPreviousBALANCE;
The scope-of-declaration is driven by the enclosing code-block boundaries. MQL4/5 can declare a variable on the "global"-scope, that may become visible from inside other code-blocks, but if any such has a variable name identical to the "global"-scope defined one, the locally declared ( explicitly in the code, or introduced from the function-parameters' declaration in the call-signature specification ) will "shade-off" the access to the variable declared on the "global"-scope. This you have to check in the original code and MQL4/5-IDE may warn you about such collision(s) during the compilation ( ref. Compiler Warning Messages ).
Let's store in it the actual state, we'll have more steps here:
RefreshRates(); // Force a state-update
aPreviousBALANCE = AccountInfoDouble( ACCOUNT_BALANCE ); // Store an updated value
Q: May I know why I cannot use the following code?
Well, any language, MQL4/5 not being an exception, has some order of execution of mathematical operators. MQL4 need not and does not have the warranty about using the same one as any other language we may have had some prior experience. So, always be rather explicit in this a specify all ordering via explicit parentheses, this will save you any further "surprises" when the language parser / compiler will suddenly change the priority of operators and sudden nightmares will appear. Not worth a single such shock to ever happen:
if ( ( ( a * b ) + c ) < fun() ) // is EXPLICIT and a way safer, than
if ( a * b + c < fun() ) // is DEPENDENT on not having {now|in future}
// a binary boolean (<)-operator
// a higher priority than (+)-op
so, rather be always explicit and you remain on the safer side.
Finally, test:
RefreshRates(); // Force a state-update
if ( ( aPreviousBALANCE * 1.05 ) < AccountInfoDouble( ACCOUNT_EQUITY ) )
{
...
}
Also check, how are your settings pre-set from the Broker-side - they run a Support-Line for you to ask about their settings:
Equity calculation depends on trading server settings.
Print( "Profit calculation mode for SYMBOL[ ",
Symbol(),
" ] is ",
MarketInfo( Symbol(), MODE_PROFITCALCMODE ),
" { 0: mode-FOREX, 1: mode-CFD, 2: mode-FUTURES }."
);
And where is my AccountBalance() function?
Recent Terminal Builds use a set of new types of calls to:
AccountInfo{Integer|
Double|
String}( <anEnumDrivenItemIDENTIFIER>
)
SymbolInfo{Integer|
Double|
String}( <aSymbolNAME>,
<anEnumDrivenItemIDENTIFIER>
)
to name just a few, so re-read the documentation to adopt the most recent changes. Always. ALAP when your Terminal has got a new Build updated ( might be seen when loading a new version of Help files for the MQL4-IDE and/or Terminal ).
Well, this happens. MQL4 evolves and some features we were used to for ages cease to exist, start to suddenly yield inaccurate or indefinite result or change its behaviour ( ol' MQL4-ers still remember the day, when string data type simply ceased to be a string in silence and suddenly started to become a struct. Ok, it was mentioned somewhere deep inside an almost unrelated page of an updated Help-file, yet the code-crashes were painful and long to debug, analyze and re-factor )
I'm trying to use the Google AdWords bid simulator system to try and get some insights out of the AdWords bid simulator. More specifically I'm using the AdGroupBidLandscape() functionality, but it's returning 'No Campaigns Found', but we definitely have campaigns where the Bid Simulator tool works through the AdWords web page interface, so I'm a bit confused. Here is the code I'm running, and yes I know I'm only retrieving a single field - I'm just trying to keep things as simple as possible.
from googleads import adwords
import logging
import time
CHUNK_SIZE = 16 * 1024
PAGE_SIZE = 100
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger('suds.transport').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
adwords_client = adwords.AdWordsClient.LoadFromStorage()
dataService = adwords_client.GetService('DataService', version='v201710')
offset = 0
selector = {'fields':['Bid'], #'impressions', 'promotedImpressions', 'requiredBudget', 'bidModifier', 'totalLocalImpressions', 'totalLocalClicks', 'totalLocalCost', 'totalLocalPromotedImpressions'],
'paging': {
'startIndex': str(offset),
'numberResults': str(PAGE_SIZE)
}
}
more_pages = True
while more_pages:
page = dataService.getAdGroupBidLandscape(selector)
# Display results.
if 'entries' in page:
for campaign in page['entries']:
print ('Campaign with id "%s", name "%s", and status "%s" was '
'found.' % (campaign['id'], campaign['name'],
campaign['status']))
else:
print 'No campaigns were found.'
offset += PAGE_SIZE
selector['paging']['startIndex'] = str(offset)
more_pages = offset < int(page['totalNumEntries'])
time.sleep(1)
We have several different accounts attachd to AdWords. My account is the only one that has developer API access, so I sort of wonder if the problem is that my account isn't the primary account associated with the campaigns- I just have one of the few administrator accounts. Can anyone provide some insights about this for me?
Thanks,
Brad
The solution I found to this problem was to add a predicate to the selector specifying a particular CampaignId. While that doesn't make any sense to me that it would fix it, because it should really just be filtering the data with that if I understand things correctly, it seems to have. I don't have a good explanation for that, but I thought someone else might find this useful. If I come to realize this wasn't the fix to the problem I had, I will come back and update this answer.
I just wondering where the default value setting?
UAAppReviewManager.h
/*
* Get/Set your Apple generated software id.
* This is the only required setup value. No default.
*/
+ (NSString *)appID;
+ (void)setAppID:(NSString *)appID;
/*
* Get/Set the App Name to use in the prompt
* Default value is your localized display name from the info.plist
*/
+ (NSString *)appName;
+ (void)setAppName:(NSString *)appName;
/*
* Get/Set the title to use on the review prompt.
* Default value is a localized "Rate <appName>"
*/
+ (NSString *)reviewTitle;
+ (void)setReviewTitle:(NSString *)reviewTitle;
/*
* Get/Set the message to use on the review prompt.
* Default value is a localized
* "If you enjoy using <appName>, would you mind taking a moment to rate it? It won't take more than a minute. Thanks for your support!"
*/
Above is a piece of code in UAAppReviewManager.h and it says that default value is your localized display name from the info.plist,
But I didn't find any info.plist including those setting(Default value)
So where's it?
It is referring to your project info .
We're using ASP.NET MVC and AdMembership provider for login, and for various reasons had to implement our own "Change Password on next Login" functionality.
We also have a nist requirement of not allowing more than one change per 24 hours. so it's set up that way in AD.
What we need is to Ignore that one requirement when resetting a password to default, we want the student to be forced to change the password on the next logon, even if it's before 24 hours.
here is my stab at it. Basically I want to change the PwdLastSet property to a value more than 24 hours old after we reset the password.
if ( bSetToDefault )
{
var adDate = userToActOn.ADEntry.Properties[ "PwdLastSet" ][ 0 ];
DateTime passwordLastSet = DateTime.FromFileTime( ( Int64 ) adDate );
passwordLastSet = System.DateTime.Now.AddHours( -25 );
long filetime = passwordLastSet.ToFileTimeUtc();
userToActOn.ADEntry.Properties[ "PwdLastSet" ][ 0 ] = filetime;
}
But I keep getting null back even when I know the users password has been changed.
anyone got any hints or suggestions? Am I looking in the wrong property?
hmm this attribute is replicated so should always be available.
Try the command line script to see if it shows up:
http://www.rlmueller.net/PwdLastChanged.htm
Its possible because its a 64bit date and not doing a conversion? Try the script though and see if it works. if it does, then look at the Integer8Date procedure in it for your date conversion.
If you use System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement then there is an exposed method for the User Principal to expire the password immediately. So it will be as easy as calling it like such oUserPrincipal.ExpirePasswordNow(); for more info about using it please see this article.
