django-popular
django-popular is highly experimental and not recommended for general use
A simple interface to use Google Analytics data to determine things like most popular blog posts. By associating a model with a Google Analytics compatible regex and an optional lookup function, it is possible to find the most popular instances of the registered model.
The current requirement to write an additional regex and function is acknowledged as sub-optimal, alternatives are welcome, though the limitations of the Google Analytics API make reusing the regex from the urlconf impossible.
Installation
You can obtain the latest release of django-popular via PyPI or check out the latest source
To install a source distribution:
python setup.py install
It is also possible to install django-popular with pip or easy_install.
In order to use the template tag, 'popular' must be added to your INSTALLED_APPS.
Usage
To be written once the API has stabilized, for now look at __init__.py and templatetags/popular.py.
Todo
- explore non-google analytics options
- reduce complexity in registering a new model
