    Hi Mugur

    Hopefully this is a quick question: in campsite, you can have different
    sections in different issues of the same publication.

    Is there any constraint which ensures that sections having the same name
    will always be given the same number?

    For example, can section 1 be called 'In Focus' in the first issue but
    then in the second issue, section 1 be called 'News'?

    I'm asking because this affects the write we structure the stats engine.

    Cheers
    JP

    yes, you can.
    this is not good news for you.
    section number 1 called X in the issue 1 can be called Y in the next
    issue.

    i would fetch the name of the section from the last issue (plus
    displaying the section number before the section name), and the leave
    the additional analyses to particular webmsters - you just cannot
    predict all possible develpments similar to this one...

    take a look at this, don';t know if this can help us some way... it says
    how to use "split-logfile" script, which you may know about already, but
    i never heard of it. i was thinking if there is a way to use it for the
    combined -campsite statistics...

    Hi John,

    There is no constraint BUT the idea is that sections should maintain their
    numbers in different issues, even if the name may change for different reasons.
    So far all the Campsite installs I know work this way. Also, when you create a
    new issue you can chose to duplicate the structure of the old one, which
    preserves the sections.
