Looking at this counter... I need one that works for individual pages rather than a blanket count.

I don’t see why Page Hit Counter won’t work for you. It does just that, counts the number of times a page has been viewed. It just doesn’t display the count on the web page.
Try installing the page counter module and plugin and then use it with this snippet:
<?php
$prefix = $modx->dbConfig['table_prefix'];
$page = '';
$page_id = isset($id) ? $id : $modx->documentObject['id'];
$sql = "SELECT page_count FROM " .$prefix. "page_hit_counter WHERE page_id ='" .$page_id."'";
$rs = $modx->db->query($sql);
$row = $modx->db->getRow($rs);
$page .= "Page views: " . $row['page_count'];
return $page;
?>
Create a new snippet called pageCount or something and add that code, then call [!pageCount!] wherever you want the count to appear in your document.
It’s a very basic snippet but it works on the test I did.
Hey thanks for the idea here... I have the Page Hit Counter module installed and it’s displaying counts in the manager but not on a webpage. It’s showing the Page Views line from the snippet but not the info from the module...

Thanks bob, that worked! How accurate is the page counter anyway?
You’re welcome, anything to help. I’m sure that script could be improved a lot, I’m not a programmer so it could probably be written much better.
I don’t know how accurate page counter is, I haven’t really looked at the code. In my experience of the different stats and analytics software I’ve used in the past, they all give slightly different results. I find them more useful as a relative measure rather than for definitive results.

Yeah it’s good of you, thanks. It’s not imperative that the stats are 100% correct. Anyway I just sat and held on to my refresh button on 1 of my test pages and it counted every refresh so seems to be pretty decent.
