Views

Would be nice to see how many visitors have visited my blog page as well as how many have viewed individual posts within.

We do track blog entry views though I don't think we've actually used it anywhere, have we?

Would be tricky to track blog views. Are we to only count hits on blog.php?u=1234 or are we looking at any page in your blog as counting as a hit on it?

[Zachariah B]

There could be a few places to track views.
- blog.php?u=1234
- views per entry (like thread views)

This is off the wall, but lets say these were do-able.
Would you omit u=1234 activity on their own blog or track all activity ?

I like Flickr's solution: "Viewed 64 times (not including you)"

It's in the blog table, I am pulling from it to use on my forumhome with a few others like this..



$latestblogs = $db->query("
SELECT blogid, title, username, dateline, userid, views
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "blog
ORDER BY dateline DESC
LIMIT 5
");
