Configuration

Function calls:

most_viewed_list (parameters)  
    Parameters accepted:
    $list_length (default is 10), $before_list (default is "<ul>"), $after_list (default is "</ul>"), $before_item (default
    is "<li>"), $after_item = "</li>")

    Use this function anywhere you want to show a list of your most viewed topics.

most_viewed_table (parameters)
    Parameters accepted:
    $list_length (default is 10)

    Use this function on the front/forum/tags pages to insert a table of your most-viewed posts.  Again, if you are not
    using the default theme you may have to make some changes to the styling of the table.

show_view_count ()
    If used in a "topic loop," this function will display the number of times a topic has been viewed.

To add a view count column to front page, forum, and/or tags page tables, make the following modifications. Note: these apply to the default Kakumei theme. If you are using a different theme, or a highly modified version of the default, your modifications may be slightly different.

1.  Open bb-topic-views.php and change $append_to_title to zero.  This will prevent the view count from
being appended to the end of the topic title.
2.  Open front-page.php.  Find <table id="latest"> (around line 21).  Replace everything between this opening
tag and </table> (around line 46) with the following:


<table id="latest">
<tr>
    <th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Views'); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>
    <th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>
</tr>


<?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
    <td><?php _e('Sticky:'); ?> <big><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></big></td>
    <td class="num"><?php show_view_count(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>


<?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
<tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
    <td><a href="<?php topic_link(); ?>"><?php topic_title(); ?></a></td>
    <td class="num"><?php show_view_count(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
    <td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; endif; ?>
</table>

1. Open forum.php and make the same changes.

2. Open tag-single.php. Find the opening and closing tags (around line 11 and line 27) and replace everything between them with the following:

   — > ">

3. You can rearrange the order of the columns if you'd like, just make sure you get them in the right order for each section.
