Ask a Question module

I created a View that listed all the titles of the content type called "question." The titles are linked to their nodes. And I used node statistics for the column on the right which shows the number of times each question has been read. Its a very basic view. You can import it if you like, but you will need to tweak it for your content type.

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'question';
$view->description = 'List of questions';
$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'title' => array(
