Here’s a plugin to extend the topic-views plugin and add a “most-views” view page (ie. view.php?view=most-views)

It does it with a minimum number of mysql calls, just 10 to display an entire page on my setup. You have to hack your views.php template to add the views column, use $topic->views for the view count to use the cached data in memory instead of an extra mysql query for each topic.

function most_views_views( $views ) {

global $views;

$views['most-views'] = 'Topics with the most views';

return $views;

}

add_filter('bb_views', 'most_views_views');



function most_views( $view ) {

global $bbdb, $topics, $view_count;

switch ( $view ) :

case 'most-views' :

$limit = bb_get_option('page_topics');

$where = apply_filters('get_latest_topics_where','');

$most_views = $bbdb->get_results("SELECT topic_id FROM $bbdb->topicmeta WHERE meta_key='views' ORDER BY cast(meta_value as UNSIGNED) DESC LIMIT $limit");

foreach (array_keys($most_views) as $i) {$trans[$most_views[$i]->topic_id] =& $most_views[$i];} $ids = join(',', array_keys($trans));

$topics ="SELECT * FROM $bbdb->topics WHERE topic_id IN ($ids) $where ORDER BY FIELD(topic_id, $ids)";

$topics = $bbdb->get_results($topics);

$view_count  = count($topics);

$topics = bb_append_meta( $topics, 'topic' );

break;

default :

do_action( 'bb_custom_view', $view );

endswitch;

}

add_action( 'bb_custom_view', 'most_views' );
