Hi,
Since we introduce document footer informations view statistics are
store several time for the same user view of a page.
See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4590
The issue is that theses tabs are loaded asynchronously in ajax and
make a call using view action.
Here are some solutions:
1/ introduce a new action "viewinternal", "service" or anything else
that would be a "view" action without UI and not taken into account by
statistics (that register for "view" action events)
+0
2/ pretty much the same thing that 1/ but based on a
URL parameter
+1
This is much better to me since:
* Stats are a transersval concern, not related to the view action
especially. I'm pretty sure we can imagine use cases where we don't
want to register stats for actions other than view
* The way I'd like to implement the actions later on (xwiki-actions
module) is to have action pipelines and this "saving stats" action
will be implemented as a post-action that would be injected after the
main actions. Thus only this post action will need to check the
parameter which will be transparent to the other actions, thus
providing a good separation of concern.
3/ use an additional AJAX request similar to a google
analytics call
to record statistics

Thanks

As i said in jira I'm against 3/
2/ seems too big for a URL parameter to me and it makes statistics
depends on URL parameters where 1/ fix the issue without touching
anything in the statistics module
+1 for 1/
+0 for 2/
-1 for 3/
