sort Drupal content automaticall by popularity
hrdrupal - April 23, 2009 - 10:44
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
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
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.
