I have a Post model, and I'm wanting to implement a way of counting the amount of times a post has been visited through the posts_controller so that I can eventually order posts by view count. So far I've created a migration to add a 'view count' column to by Post model:
class AddViewcountToPosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
add_column :posts, :view_count, :integer
end
end
I basically want something in the PostsController show method to add one on to the view_count column every time the show action is accessed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
You can just increase this counter in your show action.
def show
# ...
@post.increment!(:view_count)
end
No magic here :)
