Support/Comments for Page Hit Counter

You have to somehow keep track of "hits". Your server logs already do this, so you could parse them; there are a lot of perl scripts that do that. Another is to store the "hits" in a table somewhere, database or a text file or something (which is what this plugin does).

You could use a hitcount TV that gets incremented via plugin or snippet on each page request, then Ditto could use that TV for filtering.

Hi,

I’d like to say this is a great add-on.
Just a note: I am running mysql 5 and to start off oddly had a problem and had to create the database info by manually putting in the sql as a previous poster had mentioned.

But nevertheless, my problem.
I am having difficulties with calling the id placeholder in the &id=`` parameter.
I initially call the content of the page with the hit counter from a ditto call, which works fine and returns the hit count, but when I go to the actual page with the hit counter on it, I receive a parse error. I’ve tried [+id+], and also created a template variable and tried to call it with error incurring each time.
Any help with this would be appreciated because it would be very useful for me to avoid having to manually insert the id into the field on each and every page, so that it will work for the page itself, and also the ditto call.

The pagehitcounter call:
<br /><br />The error:<br /><br />

Try it uncached, [! ... !]

Beautiful.

I had it in my mind that I previously had issues with it working properly when ditto called it un-cached, but believe I remembered that issue wrong, or I definitely would have tried it prior. I apologize & Thanks.

When the parser finds uncached snippet tags it changes them to normal [[ ... ]] tags and continues, so the snippet won’t get processed until the next pass through the parser. The tags inside the snippet tags do get processed, however, so on the next pass the snippet is processed with the value of the TV in place.

//connect to table that stores site content

$table_hits = $modx->getFullTableName("page_hit_counter");

$fields = 'pagetitle';

$sql= "SELECT {$fields} FROM {$table_content} table_content JOIN {$table_hits} table_hits ON table_hits.page_id = table_content.id  WHERE table_content.donthit = '0' ORDER BY table_hits.page_count DESC";

$output = $modx->db->query($sql);

return $output;

Nice work,

my question is can i HIDE/igonore some of documents in [[ShowHits?]] ?
For example my INDEX have 1 000 hits but i want just print documents which is in folder Articles? Or Hide 404 document error...

Like:
[!Wayfinder?................. &excludeDocs=`217, 218, 219, 215, 94, 165, 216, 94` ...............!]

Add to the WHERE clause something like

WHERE table_content.donthit = '0' AND table_content.id NOT IN (1,2,3,4,5)

work nice.

Have you tried it with 1.0.3 and experienced issues? If not, I suspect it will just work.
