def show @post = Post.find…
addcount = @post.views += 1 @post.update_attribute “views”, addcount
end
Its working fine, but if someone hold the F5 key, it keeps counting and
counting. Which is not a really good. Is there a way how to force the
counter to not keep counting while someone is holding the F5 key?

Store their IP address and a timestamp and then don’t count more views
from that same IP for a while.
For the IP address use request.env[ ‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR’ ] if your
Rails app is behind a proxy, or request.env[ ‘REMOTE_ADDR’ ] if it’s
not.
