Hit Counter

No, we don't have a feature for that. But if you're comfortable editing code you can try the following:

- Open /lib/viewer_functions.php
- Make a backup copy of that file
- Add this to this to bottom just above ?>

// Note: This function is EXPERIMENTAL and may change in future
function incrementCounterField($tablename, $fieldname, $recordNumber) {
global $VIEWER_NAME;

// error checking
if (!$tablename) { die(__FUNCTION__ . ": No 'tablename' value specified!"); }
if (!$fieldname) { die(__FUNCTION__ . ": No 'fieldname' value specified!"); }
if (!$recordNumber) { die(__FUNCTION__ . ": No 'recordNumber' value specified!"); }

// update counter
$escapedTableName = mysql_real_escape_string(getTableNameWithPrefix($tablename));
$query = "UPDATE `$escapedTableName` SET `$fieldname` = `$fieldname` + 1";
$query .= " WHERE `num` = " .mysql_real_escape_string($recordNumber);
$result = @mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) { die(__FUNCTION__ . " MySQL Error: ". htmlspecialchars(mysql_error()) . "\n"); }
if (!mysql_affected_rows()) {
die(__FUNCTION__ . ": Couldn't find record '" .htmlspecialchars($recordNumber). "'!");
}

}

Then create a field called 'hits' (or whatever you want to call it) add this in your page. This first field is the tablename, the second field is the fieldname, and the third field is the record number

<?php incrementCounterField('news', 'hits', $newsRecord['num']); ?>

Hope that helps.
