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)
<?
$thispage=$this->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'
