[Release VB2] Total Thread Views

This hack was done by Kier, just wanted to post it in its own thread

What It Does

Counts all the views for each thread and adds them together. Basically a sum of the pageviews for all of your threads.

How To Implement This

Copy and paste this code into index.php in the regular forum directory.

PHP Code:

// Total Thread Views

$boardviews = $DB_site->query_first("
    SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
$totalviews = number_format($boardviews[threadviews]); 


Then just print $totalviews anywhere you want.

Example: http://www.systemlogic.net/boards on the top left next to the number of posts/threads stats.

Thanks for the hack, very nice.
Is there any way to include this hack onto a Non-VB page?
I've added the correct code into my /forums/index.php..
and then I made a new file named totalthreadviews.inc.php with this code:

<?php

$font = "Verdana";
$fontsize = "8pt";

require("/home/max/public_html/forums/index.php");
$boardviews = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
$totalviews = number_format($boardviews[threadviews]);
echo "<font-family: $font; font-size: $fontsize\"><b>$totalviews</b> total thread views</font>";
?>

Then I opened up my non-vb page and tried to include that file.. but it didn't work at all..
Any ideas on this one?

Very nice and simple hack, appreciated

That's a great hack, thanks alot

Any change of putting this into the "stats" in the VB control panel to give more of a per day/week/month effect listing?

If you want the views displayed without a "," then use this code instead:

PHP Code:

$boardviews=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT SUM(views) AS threadviews FROM thread");
$totalviews=$boardviews['threadviews'];

Hack works great.
How would someone also add under a members profile the total amount of page views that member has?

I think im the only one who cant get this hack to work

I did two things as instructed - add that piece of code in my /forums/index.php file exactly the same way JJR512 did it

and I added <b>$totalviews</b> total thread views - in the forum home template

When I refreshed - all i saw was total thread view with no number next to it


Whats wrong?


Thanks in advance - im using v2.0.1 btw
