Ruby on Rails搜索网站的活动记录系统

Question

I have a horse search site built in Ruby on Rails - FindHorsesForSale.net, and want to build an activity logging system that will tell me: - how many times a listing appeared in search results - how many times a listing appeared on a details page - the click through rate of each position in search results

The app is hosted on Heroku. Any recommendations on how to build something scalable to answer the questions above?

Answer 1

I think the best way would be another Model for counting hits including a hit_type field to differ between hits in search and hits of the profile. The model could look like this:

Hit hit_type:string user_agent:string ip:string horse_id:integer`

Then you associate the Hit Model with the Horse model via has_many and in the search action you create a new object of hit for each found horse and also a new hit Object for each view of the profile. The only difference will be the hit_type which could be "search" and "profile" for example. Then you could write scopes for both in Hit Model:

scope :searched, where("hit_rype = ?", "search")
scope :viewed, where("hit_type = ?", "view")

THen you could easy check the horses views:

horse.hits.searched.count # returns count of views
horse.hits.viewed # returns count of profile views

Hope this helps you!
