Add-On Request: Views per Discussion

edited October 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
In the Dynamic Ranks discussion, Dinoboff posted a current column from Jakob Nielsen on participation inequalities.

Given the vast amount of lurkers to forums, an add-on that captured the number of views per discussion (and their distribution over time; greedy) would be very useful in gauging community interest.

I'm not sure whether this is trackable in principle and, if so, how hard it would be to do.

  • The UserDiscussionWatch table can be used to gauge how many registered users have read a thread, but doesn't track multiple reads by that user.

    An related add-on that may work for this is Discussion View Counter
