I've just been through this process and wanted to clarify some of the points made here.

Firstly, micxuy must mean user.php, out.php, story.php and libs/pageview.php.

Secondly, when he said "delete the database", I'm sure he meant "delete the pageviews table", which you can do by dropping it in phpmyadmin.

Thirdly, although micxuy said to comment out the functions in libs.pageview.php, I didn't find that was necessary because those functions are never called anyway once you've commented out the code in the other files.

So, I'll go step-by-step through what I did (using 9.8.2), highlighting the lines I commented out in red:

* Please backup your files and database before following anything I say. I'm just a novice. *

1. /user.php

// find out who last viewed this users profile
//	$pageview = new Pageview;
	
// insert a pageview for the current viewer
//	$pageview->type='profile'; 	 
//	$pageview->page_id=$user->id; 	 
//	$pageview->user_id=$current_user->user_id; 	 
	require_once(mnminclude.'check_behind_proxy.php'); 	 
//	$pageview->user_ip=check_ip_behind_proxy(); 	 
//	$pageview->insert();	

	if(ShowProfileLastViewers == true){
		$main_smarty->assign('ShowProfileLastViewers', true);		
		// setup some arrays
			$last_viewers_names = array();
			$last_viewers_profile = array();
			$last_viewers_avatar = array();
				
		// get the last 5 viewers
			$last_viewers = $pageview->last_viewers(5);
			
		// for each viewer, get their name, profile link and avatar and put it in an array
			$viewers=new User();
			if ($last_viewers) {
				foreach($last_viewers as $viewer_id) {
					$viewers->id=$viewer_id;
					$viewers->read();
					$last_viewers_names[] = $viewers->username;
					$last_viewers_profile[] = getmyurl('user2', $viewers->username, 'profile');
					$last_viewers_avatar[] = get_avatar('small', "", $viewers->username, $viewers->email);
				}
			}
		// tell smarty about our arrays
			$main_smarty->assign('last_viewers_names', $last_viewers_names);
			$main_smarty->assign('last_viewers_profile', $last_viewers_profile);
			$main_smarty->assign('last_viewers_avatar', $last_viewers_avatar);
	} else {
//		$main_smarty->assign('ShowProfileLastViewers', false);		
	}

Important: I didn't comment out the if(ShowProfileLastViewers == true) condition because I had set it to false in Admin ( Admin->Configure->PageViews->Show the last 5 people to view a profile = false).

2. /out.php

//	$pageview = new Pageview;
//	$pageview->type='out';
//	$pageview->page_id=$link->id;
//	$pageview->user_id=$current_user->user_id;
	require_once(mnminclude.'check_behind_proxy.php');
//	$pageview->user_ip=check_ip_behind_proxy();
//	$pageview->insert();

3. /story.php

	// log the pageview
//	$pageview = new Pageview;
//	$pageview->type='story';
//	$pageview->page_id=$link->id;
//	$pageview->user_id=$current_user->user_id;
	require_once(mnminclude.'check_behind_proxy.php');
//	$pageview->user_ip=check_ip_behind_proxy();
	
	// find the last pageview
//	$last_visit = $pageview->last_visit();
//	if($last_visit != 0){$last_visit = txt_time_diff($pageview->last_visit(), time());}
//	$main_smarty->assign('last_visit', $last_visit);
//	$pageview->insert();

4. Upload and test

1. Upload the above three files.
2. Click on some links and view some profiles.
3. If there are no errors, go into phpmyadmin and look at the last few entries in your pageviews table. If your recent testing is not in the table then everything worked.

5. Drop the pageviews table

In phpmyadmin, click on the link to the pageviews table and you should see a "Drop" tab. Clicking that will delete the table.

That should be all, and everything should still be working without the pageviews table. The last thing you might want to do is remove the "Last 5 people to view this profile" text from the profile page...

6. Edit /templates/your_template/user_center.tpl

<!-- <tr><td style='padding-top: 10px;'><strong>{#PLIGG_Visual_User_Profile_Last_5_Title#}:</strong></td></tr>
	<tr><td>
	{section name=customer loop=$last_viewers_names}
	{if $UseAvatars neq "0"}<img style="padding-left:12px;" src="{$last_viewers_avatar[customer]}" align="absmiddle">{/if} <a href = "{$last_viewers_profile[customer]}">{$last_viewers_names[customer]}</a><br />
	{/section}
</td></tr> -->

Now, you're done. I hope you found that helpful. Sometimes it's such a puzzle putting everyone's comments together into one clear solution. Of course, if anyone finds any mistakes or things I missed, please point them out.

One other thing. If you're using the "Method for deleting discarded stories" modification, then you'll also need to comment out the following lines in /admin_delete_stories.php:

# delete the story pageviews
    # $query="DELETE FROM " . table_pageviews . " WHERE (pv_type = 'story' OR pv_type = 'out') AND pv_page_id = '$linkid'";
    # if (! $result=mysql_query($query)) {error_page(mysql_error());}

I've just followed the same steps on my test site with 9.9.5 and yes, it works.

Longcountdown,

The code works. I hesitate when asked to delete tables from the database. So here is how I implemented mine. I did not delete the pageview table. I just commented out the required code so as to not call the pageview table in each story as explained by longcountdown. Then I just EMPTIED the pageview table using this mod:

http://forums.pligg.com/core-develop...mizing-db.html

Or simply empty the table in phpmyadmin

Now I have an empty pageview table that never increases in size! This is great for future compatability issues since any modules or mods that requires the pageview table would not cause a problem.

Thanks. I will try this later and will post the result
