Add Post Count To Each Article In WordPress

Wednesday 6 July 2005 @ 6:53 pm

Ok, as promise to a blog buddy of mine, Kah Soon, that I will share a small plugin to show the post count in each for the the article as shown in the picture below.

Please follow the steps:-

1. Download Top10 plugin for WordPress.
2. Login to your database, either through phpMyAdmin or telnet.
Create a table called mostAccessed, by using this SQL query:-
[sql]create table mostAccessed
(
postnumber int not null,
cntaccess int not null,
primary key(postnumber),
unique id(postnumber)
);[/sql]
3. Find this line to your index.php:-
[php]
< ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
[/php]
Then add the following code below the line:-
[php]< ?php if ($id > 0) { add_count($id); } ?>[/php]
4. Look for this line in index.php too:-
[php]< ?php the_title(); ?>[/php]
Then, add the following code below the line:-
[php]< ?php if (!( is_home() || is_page() )) { ?>
< ?php show_post_count($post->ID,
$before=”This post has been viewed “,
$after=” times since “); ?>
< ?php } ?>[/php]
That’s it. :)

The post count will appear whenever the single page of the article is shown.

Hi Lilian,

Yup, I’m bryan.

ErrR… Why WP ah? Because I’m using it mah. I have already been using WP since the beginning and this is my first ever blog.

This spam control is a nice plugin written by some really nice guy. Don’t know any nice guy using MT is willing to write a similar one. Anyway, before I used this spam control, I held every commment for moderation before been posted. But moderating thousand of spam is quite irritating. :( Spam problem is going rampant these days, sigh…
