load counter - how to?

Monday 14 March 2005 5:08:54 am

Marko,

eZ publish already has functionality to analyze the apache logfile to figure out how many times an article is viewed. This information can also be retrieved with an operator. More information about this can be found here:
http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/data_fetching/content/view_top_list

For efficiency and due to view caching I recommend analyzing the apache logs. They contain the information and is already stored anyways.

Hi Marko,

1. Configure settings/cronjob.ini
Add the following line:
Scripts[]=updateviewcount.php

2. Configure settings/logfile.ini
[AccessLogFileSettings]
#Where could find the apache log
#Example StorageDir=/var/log/httpd/
StorageDir=
#Example LogFileName=test.ezpublish.no
LogFileName=

Template example of fetch top 10 most popular articles in section 1 ( article class id is 2 )

{let view_list=fetch('content','view_top_list',hash(section_id,1,class_id,2,limit,10,offset,0))}
{section show=$view_list}
{section name=ViewList loop=$view_list sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
        <a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$ViewList:item.node_id)|ezurl}>
        {$ViewList:item.name}
        </a><br />
{/section}
{/section}
{/let}
