Hey Dmitry,
Thanks for your reply, but I still don’t really get it. I have a model called Card, how would your code look like then?
For Example:
sorted_cards = Card.objects.all().extra(…).order_by(…)

I’m quite new to all this and don’t have a clue about sql and things like that. Your help is really appreciated.

Best

To render 1 page hitcount makes 2 identical SQL queries:

First to render js:

and second to get hitcount for object:
{% get_hit_count for object as hit_count %}

How can I reduce the number of queries?)

Use something like this:
actions = Action.objects.all().extra(
select={
‘hit_count’: ‘SELECT hits FROM hitcount_hit_count as t \
WHERE t.content_type_id = 13 \
AND t.object_pk = actions_action.id’,
},).order_by(“hit_count”)

It works =)

How would I order my counted objects by hits in a view? I really can’t get my head around these generic relations!

I’m interested in using this to count impressions of adds not just requests for them. I want my advertisers to know when there add has been “seen” not just requested. I’m planing on attaching the hit count to 2 js events – when the add in in visible range and when an add has been display in a fading group of adds. this will be perfect! thanks :)

I’m using 1.2.5 – however, it’s easily fixed by using the Javascript given on that Django page I linked originally. I hadn’t realised that the function posted there overrides every AJAX POST and adds in the appropriate header, thus solving the problem!

Which version of Django does this fail with? I haven’t updated my web site that utilizes this lately so I may be behind in the Django parlance — in fact, haven’t done anything with this for a bit! Feel bad too – need to get on that.

I know nothing has been posted here for a while, but I've just started using this. It's very useful, but the AJAX calls will fail when the CsrfViewMIddleware is installed in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES (which it is by default in Django). To solve this, you need to make sure you include the appropriate CSRF Header in every AJAX request, which can be done as shown in the Django documentation.

self.answer:

objects.extra + query.join
