choosed smd_lately

…and needed to add this to the beginning of a plugin:

Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')
   ->register('smd_lately');

There’s this handful of plugins that all write to the database, one way or another (alphabetical, not by popularity):

bit_article_hitlist

dzd_counter_view

rsx_request_count

rvm_counter

There is also ort_article_psort but I am afraid many of these are pretty dated.

If you don’t need to count unique visitors, that’s easy to do. Just chose a custom field (say, custom_10) that will store article hits. Then insert this into your individual article form:

<txp:php>safe_update('textpattern', 'custom_10=custom_10+1', 'ID='.parse('<txp:article_id />'));</txp:php>

and call

<txp:article_custom sort="custom_10+0 desc" />

to sort articles by the number of views.

Nice simple tip …easily customizable to display last viewed articles (what smd_lately also do):

<txp:php>safe_update('textpattern', 'custom_10='.time(), 'ID='.parse('<txp:article_id />'));</txp:php>

I have no time atm, sorry, please do. But I would enhance it a little more, to avoid

bots hits (User-Agent?)
fast reloads from the same IP (store the last IP in another cf?)

Or set a cookie?

It’s very nesessary thing for a CMS.
I’m sure Oleg can prepare something best ;-) as he mentioned:

— to avoid: bot hits, fast reloads ….
