Reported by kindly, 2 years ago.

Page views and Resources clicks need to be tracked.

User Stories

US1 As a Site Admin / Visitor (?) I want to see how often a page has been viewed (every page) and how often resources have been downloaded.

US1a Next to a resource or a dataset see how often it has been downloaded / viewed

US1b I want to see datasets or resources ranked by most downloaded or viewed

US1c See a trend graph for a dataset (and resources)

Adminstrative Dashboard (?)

• I want to see the traffic breakdown by country to my site ...
• Ditto for browser type, language, etc etc
• I want to see it graphed over time ...

Implementation Details

1. How do we store this data in CKAN?
2. How do we track (and store)?
3. How do we display

• Config option ckan.status.enabled = False (by default)

Storing Data

How does ckanext-googleanalytics do this? Current table:

package_id | count_recent | count_total

Move to a new stats_summary table

id | item_id | object_type | stats_type (total, month_yyyy_mm, ...) | value

Do we store this data into the search (solr) so we can search by it?

Displaying Data

• Helper functions / dictize:
  • Helper function: h.stats_get(object_type, id, stats_type)
    • h.stats_top_ranked(object_type, number) -> returns object_dicts or just labels or ...
  • Change to dictize
• Location in the default theme (do we show for example in search results too!)
• Support for ranking by most popular in search?

Tracking Data

• Our own solution (just write to site_tracking)
• Google analytics (plus extension for retrieving data) <- would need a refactor
• Piwiki

Own Solution

(For later: not as part of this ticket probably)

site_tracking table

id | url | timestamp | action (page_view, resource_download) |

• Make javascript to make request to ckan to store clicks and page views.
• Add middleware so these requests do not go through pylons and just store data quickly.
