ActsAsViewable is plugin that allows you to track page and asset views in your Rails application. For example, you can use it to track how many times a page is visited or how many times a particular image is viewed.
Trac: http://trac.intridea.com/trac/public/wiki/ActsAsViewable Subversion repository: http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/acts_as_viewable
Installation:
|
1 |
script/plugin install http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/acts_as_viewable |
OR
|
1 |
cd vendor/plugins svn co http://svn.intridea.com/svn/public/acts_as_viewable |
Create the tables where views will be tracked:
|
1 |
class CreateViewings 0 t.column :created_at, :datetime, :null => false t.column :updated_at, :datetime end end def self.down drop_table :viewings end end |
Set the objects you want to track views for:
|
1 |
class SomeAsset |
Now you can increment views for these objects wherever you need to. For example in the show action of our SomeAssetController:
|
1 |
class SomeAssetController |
To get the number of views:
|
1 |
@some_asset.views |
