Hi,
I wanted to know if it is possible to show a frame in the frontend frontpage, which would automatically show the 3 or 5 most popular (i.e. with most views) content elements in the site overall (including from archives from day 1), and alternatively out of a section I select?

thanks

Use the Views module to create a block display that you can show on the front page.

There's a default view (which you'd need to enable) called "popular".

Or you could create a new view:
- type is Node
- add whatever filters and fields you want
- sort by Node statistics: Total views or Views today

where to find "sort by Node statistics: Total views or Views today" Sort criteria does`t have this ?!

Then you probably need to enable the optional core statistics module and turn on tracking at admin/reports/settings.

You might find the "FiveStar" module handy too:

"The Five Star voting module adds a clean, attractive voting widget to nodes in Drupal 5 and 6."

I don't think Radioactivity is for this purpose. That is for tracking the site wide actvity and list them in a block or page for showing any kind of users like FB does..
