General discussion

Hi All, i'm using the media module for our radio station and I have a number of audio mp3 files on the website. I'm looking for a way to count the number of plays of each audio file and be able to use this to showcase the most popular items. 

I've looked at the statistics module, but this appears to only count at node level. I could potentially add a field to the media item, and then handle a click on the player to increment the counter - how would i do this, and is there a better way?

Thanks

Chris

When I create a content type with background image(entity type), in the page instead of showing the image, it shows the link to edit the image.

im currently using Drupal 9, what im aiming to accomplish is to give my users the ability to create content via an article, but id like there content attached to their user account, so that they can browse, edit, and upload their content. By default there uploaded content is related to there user account but id like to create a VIEW that filters to only show them there content, they will need access to the view. 

How to copy a site to CMS Drupal correctly? I just exported the database and made a copy of it from the hosting. Is there any instructions or smth like that

I have been learning Drupal 8 by rebuilding an existing Drupal 8.2 site in 8.10.  I have been both amazed and confounded by this platform.  I think the Drupal moto should be "Drupal - Makes complex tasks easy to implement, and simple tasks incomprehensible!"

Why is there so many versions already and you make them so quickly, instead of developing older. I have drupal 6 and never gonna change it because it's not possible on big website like mine with so many modules most of them now discontinued. I did it only once from 4.7 to 6 and skipped 5 because you were moving so fast and it was by some miracle that I managed because on principle some things were already completely incompatible like image module. Now I see 6 modules are not even displayed anymore.
