When the page view plugin was first created (for an intranet wiki) it was one of the functional requirements that the counters of deleted pages stay in the list, and the same for renamed pages.
I have been thinking about implementing an optional setting for the plugin that changes that behaviour to allow use in more general wikis. When counting page visits the plugin tries not to count page edits, it seems that the non-existing situation does not present itself to the plugin as an edit action. This should be easy to fix. -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Peeters (JIRA) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: woensdag 29 september 2010 18:01 To: [email protected] Subject: [jira] Created: (JSPWIKI-665) Page View Plugin and page renames and deletions Page View Plugin and page renames and deletions ----------------------------------------------- Key: JSPWIKI-665 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-665 Project: JSPWiki Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core & storage Affects Versions: 2.8.4 Reporter: Bruno Peeters Priority: Minor When a wiki page is renamed or deleted, the counters used by the PageViewPlugin (http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/PageViewPlugin) are not adapted accordingly. As a results of this, the overview of counters can contains pages that do not exist anymore. The counters of these pages will not be incremented anymore, so they will disappear of the top list, but they still remain in the full list. It would make sense to remove the counters for deleted pages. It would defnitely make sense to update the counters when a page is renamed. A visit to a non existing page is also stored by the PageViewPlugin, eg by clicking on a link to a page showing the message "This page does not exist. Why don't you go and create it?" is stored as a valid visit. Counting visits to non existing pages seems something of very low value. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
