Most popular pages

Hi Guys,

I have a heavy content based project and I need to find a way to display "Most Popular" articles.

Is there a way to easily display such a list? I would assume "Popular" = "with most visits"

Thanks,

Adrian

No easy way. I would take a look at the Statv2Page table that logs visits for each page (if not disabled).

Do a simple query against it and store the result in some cache.

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for the suggestion.

This probably means you don't have any plans to consider this as a potential feature request?

Thanks,
Adrian

That is right... It was a feature once, back in 1999, but since then it has not been requested wink

Just for the record, I'm looking for this too right now due to a customer feature request ...
I'm hoping we'll be able to talk them out of it ...

Hi Peter

Duely noted. You can do this: run a query of Statv2Page joined with Page table and sum/order that list. You can probably use datalists for it. It probably would not even have to be dynamic since the top 5 most popular pages would hardly change after the first week of the site going live.

I am pretty sure this is a feature that will not make it to Dynamicweb.

Thanks for the input.
