Moderators: How can I tally how many contribs I have?

[former_member181920]

Hi, since the "Filter by author" widget is broken, I am trying to figure out another way I can count up how many contributors have posted to the Business Trends space. Any ideas? Thanks, look forward to hearing any ideas. - Tim

Hi Tim

Unfortunately, I had to do this manually for Career Space as the platform does not offer much flexibility for analysis.

I went into the Space Content Overview Tab. After that I chose to filter on the Blogs or Documents Links and then sorted by Created Date. Each page was copied into Excel so I could pivot, remove duplicates, etc

It took me about an hour to capture the full year's worth. Career's space is similar volume to Business Trends

Depending on requirements, SCN Global Moderators may be able

Paging - is it possible for behind the scenes extract of content posted to a space?

Regards

I remember there was a reporting tool with usage reports per SCN space, Dedi Metser wrote in the introduction: "... but, unfortunately due to legal and privacy issues, we cannot offer the links to space moderators as well. The reports are for SAP employees only."

that sounds familiar - Germany Privacy laws may have been a contributing factor.

In this situation, SAP employee is making the request which is why I suggested Jason step in.

Yes, via the blog post authors page for the space:

http://scn.sap.com/community/business-trends/blog/authors

Scrolling thru, there are 12 pages of 50 authors + 1 page with 1 author = 601 authors.

Paging/pinging to see if she has any ideas; she has done some tallies in the Career Center space so maybe she can share how she did that.
