raminrahimi · 2014-03-13 07:22:42

hi to all,
i’m making a news website, I searched a lot to find any good plugins but didn’t find for these two things:
1. to show the article hits count to the visitors, like how many hits got each articles.
2. list all the most popular articles which got more hits

any one please help me.
thanks

Unless someone comes up with something better, you can (ab)use smd_lately for this task, as long as you have Visitor Logs set to all hits:

Page view count in the last 30 days:
<txp:smd_lately
   by=""
   within="30 days"
   show_current="1"
   include='page::<txp:page_url />'
   limit="1">
      {smd_lately_count}
</txp:smd_lately>

Hi

maybe this one: dzd_counter_view

I havent tested it for the last txp version but it should work.

We had a lot of problems with comment spam hits that did not succeed because they were filtered by Jukka’s comment spam plugin. These alternating GET/POST visitors, mostly originating from the Ukraine (!), were heavily polluting the logs. I don’t know if smd_lately has a routine to filter these from the logs? For now this made our most visited list completely unusable…

It has the include and exclude attributes which you may be able to use to match domain names or filter out crap.

Yeah, that’s what I did but the list of excluded objects was growing and growing…. It should also be a nice option to be able filter out all POST entrees. Is this possible?

Not yet, but it’s trivial to add. I’ll release a new version tonight for you.

We highly encourage disabling Textpattern’s logging, tho; it’s resource hog and you are better off using other logging and storage method than our MySQL database, which truly neither offer anything special compared to raw request log files. Starting from 4.6.0, Textpattern will ship logging pre-disabled for new installations. The logs grow too fast, and the storage and log writing method causes issues on more busy sites.

I myself recommend using your web server to store and process hits, and then periodically update the database with new stats from there. If you have setup your server properly you are already most likely doing that for various other purposes; including security and defending yourself against attacks.
