View counts in the forum section require part of “my-views” plugin to be installed (my-views-most-least-views.php) or just make this a mini-plugin:

add_filter('get_forums','forums_views_append');

function forums_views_append($forums) {

if (is_front() || is_forum()) {

global $bbdb, $forums_views; $sum_meta_value="SUM(meta_value)";

if (!isset($forums_views)) {

$forums_views = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT forum_id, $sum_meta_value FROM $bbdb->topicmeta LEFT JOIN $bbdb->topics ON $bbdb->topicmeta.topic_id = $bbdb->topics.topic_id  WHERE $bbdb->topics.topic_status=0 AND $bbdb->topicmeta.meta_key='views'  GROUP BY $bbdb->topics.forum_id");

} foreach ($forums_views as $forum_views) {

if ($forum_views->forum_id) {$forums[$forum_views->forum_id]->views=$forum_views->$sum_meta_value;}

}

}

return $forums;

}
