I'm talking about the one that ozo posted.

I think I have to mod something in link.php...but can't quite put my finger on it.

Hey thanks this is one thing I left out that is nice.

Add this code segment to story.php in your root pligg directory

//Update number of clicks here
$db->query("UPDATE " . table_links . " SET clicks = clicks + 1 WHERE link_id = " . $id);

before:
// 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();

That should do the trick. Cheers!

Hey Ozo, is this bit of code missing from your original post or is this in response to Genghis?

Just trying to understand what this does?

[ozo]

Okay this is a response to his request. I created it to count the number of clicks when it links (outs) to the story. What he wants is the number of clicks to also increase when a user clicks the "read more" link, so this is basically an add on. If you want your clicks updated in that manner add it, otherwise you can disregard that post.

I love the ozo brain! Thanks

I implemented your mod on my site and it is working perfectly... now I see on Meshedlinks / Popular you have tabs that bring up pages sorted by views, how'd you do that?

Thanks!

OK, it's not the same as you did, but I modified my index.php so that it sorted by clicks, saved it as clicks.php then created a tab to point to the url. Good enough for now.

Thanks Ozo.
This feature seems nice but is it possible to use this if outlinks are disabled. If outlinks are disabled then the out.php is not in use and counting doesn't work. Could the out.php part be inserted to some other file?

there is a problem with this mod.

when someone comments a link, it will RESET the count db and it will become 0 again.
