Hi,
I really need the PageView table sop that I can execute a "Most Popular" content query. I am running the latest stable release. Is there a way I can install this table, and its functionality, into this version?
Thanks,
Garrett

Yes this functionality has been stripped out as it was causing massive performance overheads. I mean it saved every page view! and with sites having 20,000 a day we were getting crazy DB sizes.
I believe if you download the statistics module (unsupported code as of 2.3) you will get this 'feature' back.
If you are using google analytics then maybe you could instead hook into your information from there via their new API rather then saving all the data yourself
Hi, thanks for your reply. I just couldn't find the statistics module because I didn't know what it was called! The site I am implementing in this case will not have enough hits to make this a big issue. I use the PageView table for a "Most Popular Posts" query....

for the module have a look at: http://www.silverstripe.org/statistics-module/
Yeah I found it once I knew the name of it-- thanks a lot!

Hello again @willr--
The statistics module did install the PageView table, but unfortunately there still seems to be no code to populate it. I've been developing for two months and there is still no data in it. Do you know how I can get this to work again in version 2.3.2?
Thanks again,
Garrett
Read the README file provided with the module. It has the instructions to install it / call the logging script. If you have added that and it still doesn't work then I have no clue. Haven't used the module.
