How to show the view times to the visitors?

The editor can see the view times in the editing section. But how to show the view times to any
visitors?

Hello mer,
I managed to do this by making these changes in the article class files. This function displays how many times the PDF galley file is downloaded.
If you need to find out the abstract views, you should change the SQL query a little.
First create a backup from each file, then make these necessary changes. You can change the function names as you wish.

1- add this function to /classes/article/PublishedArticleDAO.inc.php

Code: Select all

function getGalleysCountNum($Id)
         {
      $result =& $this->retrieve(
         'SELECT views
         FROM article_galleys
         WHERE label= "PDF" AND article_id = ?',$Id
      );
               return $result;
        }

2- add this function to /classes/article/PublishedArticle.inc.php

Code: Select all

function findGalleyVisitCount($Id)
       {
              $publishedArticleDao =& DAORegistry::getDAO('PublishedArticleDAO');
              $count = $publishedArticleDao->getGalleysCountNum($Id);
              return $count;
       }

3- now you can call this function in /templates/article/article.tpl

Code: Select all

{$article->findGalleyVisitCount($article->getId())}

I Hope it helps.
Best,
Ali
