When helping a client with a data explorer query, they noticed a difference between the topic views returned by the query, and the number on the category topic list. Where does the difference between SELECT COUNT(*) FROM topic_views WHERE topic_id = X and Topic.find(X).views come from?

[صورة] Topic view count is inaccurate in topic index Note that topic view counts are reset once per 8 hours per IP (for anons). So if you had a lot of anon visitors coming from the same IP that won’t show up in view counts. Topic.views is integer count which includes both user and anonymous tr…

[صورة] vinothkannans: used to track topic views by registered users No, that is not entirely true. topic_views registers anonymous views as well, in those cases user_id is null. So what’s I think that’s left is that Topic.views counts for anonymous users are counted once per topic_view_durat…

Yes I can see now. As per the index uniq_ip_or_user_id_topic_views either user id or ip address is required.

So what is the intended use of topic_views ? For registering statistics about topic views it would make sense if it used the same rules as Topic.views. For registering which user saw what topic it wouldn’t make sense to register IP addresses for anonymous visitors (which is a left over GDPR toxic …

In a 20 users private community a topic can have 100 views count. Since new topic visits after topic_view_duration_hours are calculated as new view count. But select count(*) from topic_views where topic_id = X will never exceed the count 20. That’s why Topic.views count is different. This is applic…

[صورة] RGJ: So what’s I think that’s left is that Topic.views counts for anonymous users are counted once per topic_view_duration_hours (default: 8) hours per IP, and topic_views for anonymous users are counted once per IP ? Sounds about right. Long term I don’t even see much value in carryin…

I don’t think we have quite gotten around to it, but it is definitely on our list. If you would like it to be done faster, have you considered contributing a PR to get it done?
