Dashboard Widget "Update Stats" Link?

  • Hi Ben,

    I have a feature request: After releasing a new blog post I am interested merely in this new stats. Therefore I would like to have an “update stats” link in the dashboard widget similar to the link in the Social Metric overview.

    Furthermore it would be nice to have a way so that new blog posts (lets say during the last 24 hours) are queried more often than the default TTL. Something like every hour. ??

    Hi Johannes,

    Re: Update stats link from the Dashboard widget

    This should be easy to add, I will see if I can fit it in for the next update.

    Re: Faster stat updates for newer posts

    This is definitely something I want to implement. It will be a little bit longer before I can get to this feature because I want to implement it such that “Popular” posts update more frequently instead of just “Newest” posts updating more frequently. So in other words, if an old post gets picked up on Reddit or something then it should also receive frequent updates until the activity slows down again.

    Both ideas are good but the higher frequency for Popular posts is definitely something I’d like to see sooner too. I’m curious to see how you’ll set a threshold for deciding what’s popular and when.
