Tracker Hidden Information
I'm a newbie who has just found how useful trackers are. I've set up a voting site for a non-profit board that I'm on — people are presented with information and they vote yes/no on proposals. This handles votes that are required between our monthly meetings.
I didn't want to complicate things for board members (require them to go through the registration procedure on the WIKI), so I'm allowing them vote anonymously by entering their name then clicking on the votes. A lot of the board members aren't real cofortable on-line. I show the results of the votes immediately, so each member can self-verify that their vote was recorded correctly.
I'd like to track the IP address and the date/time of the vote as it comes in, so if a vote is ever recorded incorrectly I can try to identify who did the vote.
Is there was to store "hidden" fields in the tracker database? It seems like an ideal way to set up a quick form; in staight HTML I'd put a < form type=hidden value='ip address' > and store the information that way.
