[IN PROGRESS] Times Read

1 Dec 14, 2014 20:21    

Guys,

I had the number of times an article was read added to the top of a post along with author, date, etc.

After a recent upgrade, i lost it and can't remember what file to add it to

(i think the code was like item (views) or something like that.

i can find the code again, i just don't recall the file to edit

thanks

Hi @bloggerboy,

View counting was removed in version 5.1.0 due to performance improvements (http://b2evolution.net/downloads/5-1-0-beta and http://b2evolution.net/man/back-office-reference/managing-collections/post-views-counting). I also made a related comment in this post: http://forums.b2evolution.net/3-2-2-upgrade-lost-number-of-views#c103075, about how and why it was removed.

Basically, getting an accurate number of views requires several operations and it's a performance hug that may like some people, but that also has taken several sites down. Specially, when a robot decide that he likes your site and starts hitting it with no mercy.

Regards!
