Product page: show product sold quantity and browse times

[lyvy]

Hi All,

I have 2 plans here:

1.  Show how many products were sold,
Position: show this number on product page - product information, and also in product list, just below product name or price.

2.  Show how many times this product page are browsed by customer,
Position: show this number on product page - product information.


I ever saw it on a web, it means it can be done.
Do I need some extention or plugin? or I need to coding?

i don't know much about coding....



Hope anybody can help me.

Thanks.

For products sold the data is available in VM, just a case of abstracting it and using template overrides for display. I don't know of any extensions available to show total sales, and if not then you would have to code this yourself, or hire an experienced developer.

For page views Joomla has a built in statistics module which can be used in simple counter mode. You can assign this to specific menu items, not to products, so I would guess the only way to use it for products would be to create a menu item for each product - and then create as many stats modules as are required, assigning each to a product.  Sounds like a lot of trouble for little reward.

Can you tell me how to call this data?
No problem for overriding (so I hope).

That needs an experienced developer - not within my capabilities.
