suppose, db table in project :

<table>   <tr>      <th>id</th>      <th>title</th>      <th>description</th>      <th>created</th>      <th>modified</th>      <th>........</th>   </tr>   <tr>      <td>1</td>      <td>some title</td>      <td>some description</td>      <td>7/8/2013 8:50</td>      <td>7/8/2013 8:50</td>      <td>........</td>   </tr> </table>

there's nothing built-in, it's not hard make yourself. (the hard part not increment counter when search engine bots access page if it's reachable them.)

in database create field viewcount int default 0 example. in controller, assuming model called model , action view (replace actual names), add code increments counter when page viewed:

function view( $id ) {    // ....    $this->model->updateall(         array( 'model.viewcount', 'model.viewcount + 1' ),        array( 'model.id', $id )    ); }
