PageVisitTracker

This is a simple page view tracker for Rails. Features:

• resource-based, meaning it's designed to track views of models.
• tracks each unique visitor, based on a combination of the user agent and ip
• tracks the internal user ID, if there's a current_user method in the controller
• does not track visits from bots (based on user agents)

Example

script/plugin install git://github.com/leonid-shevtsov/page_visit_tracker.git

First, create the model

script/generate page_view_migration
rake db:migrate

Then, in your controller:

class PostsController
  def show
    #...
    track_page_view(@post)
  end
end

Then you can use it in your models like

class Post
  has_many :page_views, :polymorphic => true, :dependent => :destroy
end

TODO

• test
• maybe more convention over configuration
