Statistics for sellers/vendors!

Hi Sharetribe
Does anyone know, if it is possible to show statistics for the sellers of their listing.
Eg. how many views their specific listing have had?

We actually did have something like this a while ago. There’s still the times_viewed column in the listings table, but it’s not updated. We decided to remove this feature because of performance issues, because we need to do database write operation (increase the times_viewed counter) when ever a user visits the listing page.

That said, this shouldn’t be too hard to implement. Increment the counter on database when ever user visits the listing page (I’d suggest you to add a new column and NOT reuse the times_viewed column since we might remove it). Then show the count to the user in the listing page. That’s the quick ā€˜n’ dirty implementation.

Thank you for your fast answer on this. Highly appreciated.
Furthermore:
I am about to translate the site into different languages. It works very well in the admin, with the categories and all, but as the content of the different listing might be written in different languages, this makes it a bit less of an advantage.
Do you know if it possible to install kind of a ā€œrobotā€, that could translate all content to the selected language?

Hey Mads,

one more thing about analytics is that you could use Google Analytics to track traffic in your marketplace and share dashboards with your users.

About listing translations you could possibly add a Google Translate widget (even with the custom script feature). It is not as good as manually translated listings but I noticed this approach in some marketplaces so this might be a good way to move forward with this quickly!

Hopefully this helps.
