Hi Joe;
I want to create a module that displays most visited items of blogs in our site.(That is effective for news sites)
Is that possible to create it without change in default blog source code and database tables?
Please help me to start a best way to do this.
Thanks!
We don't capture a count of blog post views in the database so this is not currently possible. The only thing we currently have for tracking site traffic is google analytics.
Best,
Joe
Hi Joe, Thank a lot for quickly answer.
How can i use Google analytics? Is that possible?
I can not find any document for this.

Documentation here.
Hi Jamie!
Thanks for help.
I want a document that I can use it to capture page tracking.
Hi Joe!! I told you about most visited blog item list. That you said now not visit capture for blog items. But now I want to add feature to view list of most commented items in blog. For this intention I check the database tables and I see that you define a field called CommentCount. Now we can use FeedManager module to show list of most commented blog items. for this we could add a new RSS Link(icon) in blognav. I changed below line in your mp_Blog_Select SP in database. And this work nice that most commented items come in top in RSS page.
ORDER BY b.StartDate DESC to ORDER BY b.CommentCount DESC
By this easy solution we must only add 3 methods in UI, Business and Data layer and add another Stored Procedure in database. Now we can show latest news list; and, by adding this changes we can add most commented news; and, if add a field to count blog visits we can have most visited list feature that show in feedManager module. Is this possible to add this in your code? Thanks a lot! best
Sorry but no I'm not going to make that change at this time. We have it on the road map to make a new and better comment system, once that is done I will consider adding some other sort options.
Hi Joe,
I think Sadegh say about adding an extra RSS link to Blog module to export commented items for consume in Feed Manager module. Is it this improvement on the road map of Blog module?
Asad
yes, features like this will be coming later after the new comment system.
Thanks very much Joe and Asad!!
I hope these changes done as soon.
