Re: looking for a method to record 'page views'
i will try this when time allows. i have yet to interact with weblogs in that way. so far the real time solution has been working with minimal load to the server. i dont expect this site to scale above a few hundred people on it at a time anyway.

Re: looking for a method to record 'page views'
Another thing to consider (especially if it's a busy site) is to not track the views in real time. Instead scan your webserver logs hourly/ daily and update the counts that way. This allows you to cache the pages and still keep track of visits. -Matt http://www.pseudocoder.com On Mar 30, 11:14 am, JamesF wrote: > Hi all, > > I am looking for a simple way of keeping track of page views.

Re: looking for a method to record 'page views'
Have you considered using an existing solution with metrics and reporting surrounding it? You can give read only access to clients as well. http://edwardawebb.com/programming/php-programming/cakephp/piwik-analyze-visits-cakephp-site On Mar 30, 1:39 pm, JamesF wrote: > i did see that article but i think im goign to go with a different > approach... > > i'm making a table called visits with four fields > > id ->auto increment > listing_id ->related listing id > timestamp ->now() > ip_address ->users ip > > basically whenever a listing is view i will execute an insert on the > database logging the information. when i display the stats i will run > queries off the table. > i have a feeling this isn't going to be very MVC compliant but bottom > line is i need to get it working. i have a few concerns about database > performance but i think it will be better to do it this way than a log > file/cron job method. > > On Mar 30, 12:21 pm, brian wrote: > > > Have a look at this > > HitCountBehaviorhttp://dsi.vozibrale.com/articles/view/simple-hitcount-behavior-for-c... > > > I haven't used this, though it's been on my list of things to investigate. > > > On Mon, Mar 30, 2009 at 11:14 AM, JamesF wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > I am looking for a simple way of keeping track of page views.

Re: looking for a method to record 'page views'
i did see that article but i think im goign to go with a different approach... i'm making a table called visits with four fields id ->auto increment listing_id ->related listing id timestamp ->now() ip_address ->users ip basically whenever a listing is view i will execute an insert on the database logging the information. when i display the stats i will run queries off the table. i have a feeling this isn't going to be very MVC compliant but bottom line is i need to get it working. i have a few concerns about database performance but i think it will be better to do it this way than a log file/cron job method.

Have a look at this HitCountBehavior http://dsi.vozibrale.com/articles/view/simple-hitcount-behavior-for-cakephp I haven't used this, though it's been on my list of things to investigate.
