Most Visit Mods

In IndexU, we already have a block that list the most visited links (Top 10). This mods is similar to the default IndexU has, but we include time period like : Most Visited This Week, Most Visited Last Week, Most Visited This Month, Most Visited in 10 Days, etc. We develop this mods based on suggestion by one of our member here, a very interesting idea.

Members can download this mods for FREE here (you’ll need to login first).

Here is the installation step :

1. Unzip and upload the most-visit-mods.zip file to your IndexU folder.
2. We need to create new table, you can use PHPMyAdmin or using IndexU Advanced Query Box (Admin Panel > Database > Query) in this regards.
   Run the following query :
   Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

3. Edit trackclick.php script.
   Change :
   Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   To :

   Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

4. Everything is ready now, you can the call the block anywhere within your template (Ex : header.html, footer.html).
   Here is some examples of block calls :
    
   • Show the most visited links in last 10 days :
     Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   • Show the most visited links this week :
     Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   • Show the most visited links this week only for new link that added in the last 100 days :
     Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   • Show the most visited links this month with excluded category ID 100, 150 :
     Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   • Show the most visited links this month in category ID 100, 150 only :
     Content visible to member only. Please register and login first.

   About the blocks parameter :

   • title : the block title
   • max_item : the number of link to show
   • days : number of days period
   • period : predefined period range (today, yesterday, thisweek, lastweek, thismonth, lastmonth)
   • exclude_category : category to exclude (category ID separated by spaces), this will affect to all it subcategories too
   • only_category : only show links from specific category (category ID separated by spaces), this will affect to all it subcategories too
   • link_age : only include links that added in certain days period

The mods is created based on kosmos template, so for other templates you might need to adjust it a little bit.

That's all.
Comments and feedbacks to improve this mods are welcome.
