counting User Profile views

set up a table for the view count as follows:

1

create_table :user_views do |t| t.column :user_profile_id, :integer t.column :count, :integer, :default => 1 t.column :created_at, :datetime end

2- create controller called User,

Class UserController < ApplicationController def view unless @user == current_user session[:visited_profiles] << user_profile.id unless session[:visited_profiles].include?(user_profile.id)

end 
  end 

end

3-add session class Session < ActiveRecord::Base before_destroy :update_page_views def update_page_views visited = CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session.unmarshal(Session.find(:first).data)[:visited_profiles] return if visited.blank? visited.each do |p| UserView.increment_or_create(:user_profile_id => p) end end

4- go in to model => user view => increment_or_create and add this code. def self.increment_or_create(attributes={})

 if (view = self.find_by_user_profile_id(attributes[:user_profile_id]))   
  view.update_attributes(:count => (view.count +=1))   
else    
 self.create(attributes)  
 end 
end
