RE: Programming Diary #19: Follower network strength and preparing for Open Source publication
page view counter
This would be a great favour to some (well known) users :-)
However, there are a few obstacles here:
- The way it was implemented at the time, only the calls via the Steemit condenser could be counted.
- The data are obviously still sent to the overseen server, but requests to it do not work (I tried this once with the old code).
- Even if the server were to answer requests again, this would only work with the api.steemit.com node. Meaningful results are obtained with other nodes (if the changeover works) only if they redirect the requests to api.steemit.com.
Will you accept the challenge? ;-D
Ha ha - no chance! I'm grateful that you've looked into this already. I'm not a fan of page view counters and if you managed to convince me otherwise (😉), I'd investigate a Google Analytics API that could pull the data in and produce some more meaningful data. One day, I'll get access to Steemit's GA account!
Hopefully it won't take so long ;-D
