List of 10 popular pages

[larsb]

Gah. I know I saw it somewhere on wiki.developer.mindtouch.com and I have tried finding it again.

All i want to do is to list the, say 10 most popular dekipages.
How can I do this with dekiscript?

I have to say that searching and finding things on wiki.developer.mindtouch.com is somewhat of a challenge.

I don't know if this is available in all releases of MindTouch Deki but there is a special page called:

Special:Popular Pages (http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/Special:Popularpages)

You can access your Popular Pages via Tools Menu

Currently, dekiscript does not support a built-in popular pages function. I've filed a feature suggestion for it here: http://bugs.developer.mindtouch.com/view.php?id=4794

For now, you'd need to try one of the suggestions in this thread (http://forums.developer.mindtouch.com/showthread.php?t=1978).

For now, you'll need to call the API feature directly from DekiScript and iterate over the XML document.

I put together a sample for you here:

This page, http://wiki.developer.mindtouch.com/DekiScript/FAQ/How_do_I..._List_the_most_popular_pages%3f, appears to display only the most popular pages in a wiki.

How can I leverage the hierarchical nature of Deki and show popular (most visited) pages per node?
I tried to supply a path instead of index.php but got an error like this:


/div/block/ul/foreach/li/span, function 'uri.build' failed with response:
invalid char in segment: Portals/Tech_Pubs_Workspace

The popular pages API doesn't have any filter options at this point. You'd have to get all popular pages and then filter it manually. Needless to say, this can be a bit slow. So I would recommend taking advantage of the web.xml caching capabilities.
