    <p>It will probably be more efficient for your purpose to add a generic relation to <code>Hit</code> model:</p> <pre><code>class Hit(models.Model): ... object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField() content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType) content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id') </code></pre> <p>and then run count() query on the Hit directly:</p> <pre><code>t = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(the_object_being_hit) id = the_object_being_hit.id count = Hit.objects.filter( created__range=(from_timestamp, to_timestamp), content_type = t, object_id = id ).count() </code></pre> <p>You can use Django South migration system to modify the hit-count's model. You can also try to subclass Hit after monkey-patching it's Meta class, or just define your own models that suit your needs better.</p> <p><strong>edit</strong> If you want to count hits for a whole class of objects or several classes, then you can have:</p> <pre><code>count = Hit.objects.filter( created__range = myrange, content_type__in = set_of_types ).count() </code></pre> <p>Where the <code>set_of_types</code> can be either a list constructed with <code>get_for_model</code> calls or a query set obtained by direct filtering of the <code>ContentType</code> table.</p> <p>The nice part of the count() method is that it makes counting happen in the database, which is much faster.</p> <p>To get a breakdown by content_type try this:</p> <pre><code>counts = Hit.objects.filter( created__range = myrange ).values( 'content_type' ).annotate( Count('content_type') ) </code></pre> <p>That should return a dictionary of counts vs content type id, quite close to what you want.</p>

    1. COI worked on this solution. I'm not sure it gives me what I want though. Instead of the hit count of one object (given a time range, content_type, and object_id), I want the hit counts of all the objects (given a time range and content_type) so that I can rank them. It seems that even when I restructure the models.py as you describe, I can't use annotate and content_object at the same time.

    2. COupdated my post. well, I'd simply not use annotate in this case because your query would be doing too much work and would be I think quite slow for large sets. IMO the lazy approach in counting might work better in this case.

    3. COThank you for following up. This still isn't quite achieving my objective. With this, I'm still getting one number. I'm hoping for an iterable list. So let's say, in your last block of code, if we left out the .count(), we'd get 5 objects: 3 of one type A and 2 of type B. I want the query to give me 2 objects and the count for each: Type A (count = 3) and Type B (count = 2). Not simply 5 (which is what I'm getting from the code above).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
