Statistics: document page views for a given user

Help / Discuss
#1

Hello,

I want to add some document view statistics to each page. I’ve been playing around with this for a while and can’t seem to figure out how to get the count for the number of times a specific user has viewed a given page. I’m not sure if it is even possible.

I am interested in this, because I would like to subtract the views of the last page author from the total document view count.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

And, if anyone could point me to more detailed information about the statistics component I can go away and do some reading. So far I’ve read these two pages:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Statistics%20Application
http://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Most%20Viewed%20Articles

Thank you,
Ben

It’s not possible with the Statistics Application because the page stats and the user stats are not linked. You know how many times a page has been viewed but you don’t know who viewed the page. You know how many pages an user has viewed but you don’t know what pages he viewed.

OK, thanks Marius. I’ll looks like I’m going to have to do it programmatically.
