16: User-Tracking Package (response to 1)
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
Concerning loggin how often a page was viewed, I'd keep this seperate in a user-tracking package. This package would work as a service, logging every object the user has viewed at a specific time.

For reporting we could use various rules for providing user services like:

  • You where interested in FOO, have a look at BAR
  • Your favourites on our site
  • Link it up with categories, sorting the hit lists by categories the user most often visited (aka viewed objects off).
  • Not to talk about the marketing data useful with ecommerce 😊.
Talking about ecommerce, doesnt the ecommerce package already implement the FOO BAR relation?
