>>//see also:// [[TRBCounter | TRBCounter]]>>====Page Counter Action==== - Below are the changes needed to create an action that allows the number of hits on a page to be roughly counted (it doesn't increment if it's your own page, only for the pages of others). - If you want it to keep a count, but without showing the number (so people don't have the urge to "up" the number on you), you can set the parameter show=''"off"'' or show=''"no"''. - It works pretty well overall. Of course, it doesn't "count" if the action isn't on the page, but I thought for "help" pages etc that aren't open for editing it might be pretty useful. Usually we put lots of work into different things in a wiki, I thought it'd be interesting to be able to gauge the use of the different parts. Hope you find it useful. -- Mike (aka GmBowen) - ''the only thing I can think might be useful to add, is if you could add the parameter ignore="//name1, name2, name3//"...but I had no idea how to parse a list like that and include a comparison of to the current user for exclusion'' - ''it also might be useful to have it so that an owner could set show=off or show=no but show up if it is the pageowner looking...I'll have to think through the coding on that though'' the **_pages table** has to have the following field added.... %%`hits` int(50) NOT NULL default '0'%% and the **counter.php** code (save as a file in the action directory).... %%(php) GetPageTag(); // Get hit count $result2 = mysql_query( "SELECT hits FROM ".$this->config["table_prefix"]."pages WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='Y'" ); $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2); $hit_count1 = $row2[hits]; // Count is incremented if not your own page if ($this->GetUserName() != $this->GetPageOwner($tag)) { // End Get hit Count Start adding hits $hit_count2 = $hit_count1 + 1; // End adding hits Start Update Hit $sql = "UPDATE `".$this->config["table_prefix"]."pages` SET `hits` = '$hit_count2' WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='Y'"; // $sql .= " WHERE `ref` = $ref"; mysql_query($sql) or die("Unable to process query: " . mysql_error()); } // End Update Hit // parameter show="off" or "no" being checked for $show = strtolower($show); if ($show != 'off' && $show !='no') { // Start output of counter $result4 = mysql_query("SELECT hits FROM ".$this->config["table_prefix"]."pages WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='Y'"); $row4 = mysql_fetch_array($result4); $hit_count3 = $row4['hits']; echo ''; echo '
Total Hits: '; print "$hit_count3"; echo '
'; } // End Output of counter ?> %% ===Preventing the reset of the counter=== If you only use the above code the counter will re-set to zero every time you edit a page (well, 2 actually...I said it was a "rough" count didn't I??). If you don't want that to happen you have to do the following changes as well.... In the **handlers/edit.php** file I changed the line (''around line 35'')..... %%(php)$this->SavePage($this->tag, $body, $note);%% to %%(php)$this->SavePage($this->tag, $body, $note, $this->page['hits']);%% AND I learned (through seemingly bizarre but now understandable errors cropping up) that the order of the variables is important relative to the ""SavePage()"" function (see below....which is why $pagehits doesn't follow the $comment_on variable in the list of variables in the function but precedes it) In the **WAKKA.PHP** file in the wiki root: ''Around line 235'', in the ""SavePage()"" function, the line has to be changed to %%function SavePage($tag, $body, $note, $pagehits, $comment_on = "")%% note that $pagehits has to PRECEDE the $comment_on variable ''a few lines down'', the following line has to be added.... %%"hits = '".mysql_escape_string($pagehits)."', ".%% I added it ''after the line''.... %%"user = '".mysql_escape_string($user)."', ".%% And that's it folks....it should work pretty well. ---- CategoryUserContributions
