Configuration

Function calls:

mostviewedlist (parameters) - Parameters accepted: $listlength (default is 10), $beforelist (default is "

"), $afterlist (default is "

"), $beforeitem (default is "

"), $after_item = "

")

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

mostviewedtable (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.

showviewcount () - 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 $appendtotitle to zero. This will prevent the view count from being appended to the end of the topic title.
2. Open front-page.php. Find (around line 21). Replace everything between this opening tag and (around line 46) with the following:

— > "> > ">

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:

— > ">

1. 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.
