Favouriting trips

Postby Joe_King on Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:57 pm

Is there any way I can see how many people have favourited each of my trips? Or to see how many have favourited other users' trips? I notice from my email alerts that visitors are more likely to favourite than vote on trips so having information on this is useful in terms of evaluating which trips are popular and might be worthwhile converting into guides.

In a similar vein, is there any way to track to the number of times a trip has been downloaded?

We are planning on displaying this information soon (it is already used when figuring out the order to display trips on the browse pages and in search). We don't track number of downloads, but in order to download a trip it must be favorited, so it's usually a pretty good indication.

Out of curiosity, would you be interested in an alerts section on your logged in home page to the effect of "These trips have been voted on/favorited several times, would you like to create a guide for this trip"?

Thanks, Chris. Looking forward to seeing this being implemented.

It would depend how obtrusive/nagging the alerts are. Maybe a small section listing "Your Most Popular Trips" with a "Create Guide From This Trip" button to the side or something?

That's what I was thinking, nothing along the lines of sending emails or anything like that (although, for very useful trips we may do that)
