Example: Bakery tracks clicks on articles. Option 1: To get the article view page there are 20 queries performed. 1 of them is an update on the number of views and only happens when the Session has not been set. A javascript link to an analytics app. (cause it provides much more information about the visitor) Option 2: 19 queries and a javascript link to an analytics app
Now, I want to display most popluar posts Option 1: $this->Article->findAll(null, null, 'Article.views DESC'); Option 2: query analytics webservice I agree that trying to track all clicks and information on them is pointless and the need for analytics is important. But I think its also clear that when you want to provide your users with information regarding the actions of other users, you are better off tracking it on your own. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
