Using Views: how to list users and have the number of nodes created by them

Question

I want to create a list of users registered in the website using Views and, beside the names, I want to show the corresponding number of nodes they created. I know there are some contributed modules that consolidate and do some sum (never used them, though), but as I was doing some research, it seems these modules are targeted for Drupal 6. Is there a solution for Drupal 7?

Example of the expected output:

Carl (27)
John (18)
Susan (16)
Lorren (13)
Jane (5)
Norman (4)
... 

Answer 1

You just need Views 3. No additional modules.
1. Make sure you have the latest views 7.x-3.x-dev version installed. In general, it has the least number of bugs (at least until beta4 arrives)
2. Create a new users view (add new view, show: "Users")
3. Add a relationship: "User: Content authored"
4. In the last fieldset on the right ("Other"), select Use grouping: "Yes"
5. Add a Content: nid field, and when asked for the grouping function ("Group type"), select "Count". Uncheck the "create a label" checkbox in the configure field screen, so that it only shows the number.

And you're done.

Answer 2

Have you tried Views Calc? It has a count function that can be used to produce automated sums

Also there is a Drupal 7 --dev branch that can be downloaded

Answer 3

The problem with this is that the list only appears for me when I'm logged with the superadmin account, seems like there is a problem with permissions so I solved it using http://drupal.org/project/views_field_view to create a view (the one that displays the authored content count with a contextual filter with the uid) inside of view (the one that displays the list of the authors)!
