Notice: This thread is archived, the plugin is no longer available.

**********************************************************

bit_article_hitlist

The <txp:bit_article_hitlist /> tag creates a list of most viewed articles. This plugin uses an article custom field to count the number of times an article has been viewed. The <txp:bit_count_view /> is inserted into an article form to count the number of views an article receives.

Download here.

Note: The custom field that this plugin uses must be named ‘hits’. This custom field can be any of the 10 custom fields.

`<txp:bit_count_view />`

This tag is inserted into the form that will be used to display the articles that you want to keep track of. It automatically increments the ‘hits’ field.

`<txp:bit_article_hitlist />`

This tag is built on the code of ort_article_psort by Lucas Gueñol. It has all of the same attributes except for the exclusion of the pageby and sortby attributes.

`<txp:bit_article_hitlist />` attributes

Article form to be used

Maximum number of items to fetch.

Hi bit,
I can’t use this plugin :( If i install it, turn on, and put <txp:bit_count_view /> everything goes well, but when i put <txp:bit_article_hitlist /> i get the error “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 12582912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 7721 bytes) in /web/htdocs/[site]/home/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 247”

Was just going to start looking for something like this! THANKS

Just to let you know, not sure this plugin is 4.04 ready – I updated my version of textpattern from 4.03 to 4.04 and found the plugin kicked out a mysql error.

I am able to use this plug-in for 4.0.5 but found that the functions did not discriminate as to article status – in other words, the lists it produced included hidden, live and sticky articles, and the sticky article forcibly showed themselves in full.

I added a ‘sticky’ argument and defaulted to only showing Status = ‘4’, i.e. live articles.

Could someone explain why article functions that used to follow the general default rule of live articles only are now not filtering the various status out?

In the plug-in itself it calls core article functions. Perhaps there are new parameters to pass these functions in 4.0.5?

Thanks!

2bit: Thanks for such useful plugin. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I modified the first function of the plugin. Now it works with non-messy URLs, too. Just in the case you want to publisha 0.3 version!

function bit_count_view($atts) {
    global $thisarticle;
    $field = bit_find_hit_field();
    $hits = safe_row($field." AS hits", "textpattern", "ID=".$thisarticle['thisid']);
    $hitcount = (empty($hits['hits'])) ? 1 : intval($hits['hits']) + 1;
    global $thisarticle;
    assert_article();
    $query = "UPDATE `".PFX."textpattern` SET `".$field."`='".$hitcount."' WHERE ID=".$thisarticle['thisid'];
    $success = safe_query($query);
}
