is there any way in elgg to record the page impressions for each user in the db?

didn't you read my earlier comment ? ;-P
the data that you want is *already* recorded by the server
and any desired statistical dissections can be done from that -
any BI drill-downs via UserID, IP, URL, almost anything...
or.. are you looking to re-event the server access logging wheel ?

You could fairly easily add a successful registration page when a user confirms their account.  If you're using the default user validation by email, just override the page handler with your own plugin, check if the user is confirmed, then spit out a confirmation page instead of forwarding to the dashboard.

Brett,

Thanks for that, I will give it a try.

Do you have any idea if a google tracking snippet can be added to an overlay, or must it be a whole page?

And is it possible to replace the system messages (registration complete, etc) with overlays.  Some user testing has shown messages are disappearing before customers finish reading them (and also I would like to add more info about checking spam box for verification email, etc). Can I replace some system messages with overlays?

Thanks for your help

Chris.
