Flarum Discussion Views

gurjyot

MichaelBelgium I would suggest to use IP and cookies to check for unique view only. The way it's implemented now, anyone would keep opening and closing his own discussion to make more views and admins won't be able to use those views for any purpose.

Secondly, can you also extend this extension for user profile views? Every user participates in a community to get exposure and profile views can actually help in telling him that how good the community is ?

Well normal users don't know that. But yeah I will look sooner or later how to do unique views nonetheless.

Also about profile views, thats a great idea, however I think it's better to make a seperate extension or that imo, else i need to edit the package name and I don't think thats a great idea

0E800 I know it might overlap with the discussions but that first one is rly weird, it didn't look like that when i tested the new css

MichaelBelgium Actually, having multiple small extensions for handling views is not that of a good idea I guess ?
Instead, if one extension handles all the views related stuff then that would be great. Moreover, your extension can also be used to have new discussion sorting "Most views" and users sorting "popular users" ?

Yeah, changing name would be a problem but you can always announce the new extension which would work even with old extension's views data (since there shouldn't be any data loss).

Why not?

gurjyot

luceos I seriously don't know a technical answer for this. But from a users point of view, it's easy to remember one big extension rather than multiple small extensions. Moreover, having all the similar stuff together at one place is what's called being organised (at least that's what I think). Although, making multiple extensions might be better for performance, that I really do not know.

jordanjay29

gurjyot There's that approach. There's also making extensions that are separate but interoperable, like Flarum's own Tags, Sticky, etc.

I think this extension will undoubtedly make it to core.
Just needs a few extra bells and/or whistles that I am sure the more vetted home-brew extension developers could help remedy; to make sure it gets there.

Collaborate ninjas. ?

MichaelBelgium

So .. what would be better, to have a seperate extension "profile views" and this "discussion views" ? (Thats my opinion) or rename this extension to something appropriate and include the profile views into this also?

jordanjay29

MichaelBelgium do what's easiest for you.

Just as long as my Admin side-menu doesn't actually start looking like an actual food menu, I'm okay with this ?

MichaelBelgium

3th update is live.

U can (re)set the viewcount of discussions now (default only admins) ?

Planned stuff

gurjyot

MichaelBelgium I think you should add these features in the main post as well to let new members know about it.

Nice extension, but I have a doubt, views are going up to fast after sharing the content on a facebook fanpage, I just don't think I have that kind of traffic right now.

For example, of facebook it says people reached 2, and 20 views on the forums.

jordanjay29

jozbaldwin maybe one of the two shared it on their feed? Or sent the link to friends?

luceos

jozbaldwin so you put the link to your discussion on facebook. Facebook has to extract the meta information (og: related tags) which in fact then also makes up a visit.. Maybe half of those 20 visits are not actually people?

jozbaldwin

jordanjay29 as of right now, the facebook publication shows 20 people reached, 0 shares, 26 views on the forums, includingcy views of course.

I'm not shure if it's ok to post links here, but I'm gonna leave these here just to illustrate the case...
