Easiest way to restrict thread view count to unique IP's?
In vb 3.8.4, what do you think would be the easiest/simplest way to make it so that the thread view count is only incremented for each unique user? In other words, hitting refresh on a thread page wouldn't increment the count, unless the user changed IP's.
Would I need to maintain a database of IP's and check the table before incrementing the count, or is there a simpler way? I could use cookies to do it, but if someone disabled their cookies, then they could just increment the count at will. Nevermind I decided to just code it. This goes in showthread.php around line 489 replacing the existing views counter code. Code:
$userip = $_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]; $ipnum = ip_address_to_number($userip); $getuip = $db->query_first(" SELECT count(*) as views FROM ipchecker WHERE threadid = ".intval($threadinfo['threadid'])." AND ipaddr=".$ipnum ); if ($getuip['views'] <=1) { if ($vbulletin->options['threadviewslive']) { // doing it as they happen; for optimization purposes, this cannot use a DM! $db->shutdown_query(" UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread SET views = views + 1 WHERE threadid = " . intval($threadinfo['threadid']) ); } else { // or doing it once an hour $db->shutdown_query(" INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threadviews (threadid) VALUES (" . intval($threadinfo['threadid']) . ')' ); $db->shutdown_query(" INSERT INTO ipchecker VALUES (NULL,".time().",".$ipnum.",".intval($threadinfo['threadid']).')' ); } } function ip_address_to_number($IPaddress) { if ($IPaddress == "") { return 0; } else { $ips = split ("\.", "$IPaddress"); return ($ips[3] + $ips[2] * 256 + $ips[1] * 256 * 256 + $ips[0] * 256 * 256 * 256); } } Quote:
