total thread views

[Jakub03]

In statistics on bottom of page it shows like total threads, and total posts. Is there a way to show total thread views?

[Boofo]

Yes, but you would have to run a query to get that info.

[Jakub03]

Is that hard to do?

[Boofo]

Not at all. I do it for my forumhome stats cache mod on my site. Here is the query I use:

PHP Code:

$threadviews = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
    SELECT SUM(views) AS tviews
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread
");

does this take a lot of server usage? and sorry im such a nub lol where do i input the query?

[Boofo]

You would put it in the forumhome_complete hook as a plugin and use {vb:raw threadviews.tviews} in the forumhome template where you want it to show. Make sure you pre-regsiter the variable in the forumhome template.

Is it possible to make the total thread views appear only on specific forums?


Like for it to count the total views that the individual threads get, not the forums. :P
