View Count plugin for Craft CMS
===============================

[](#view-count-plugin-for-craft-cms)

**Count the number of times an element has been viewed.**

 [![Example of View Count results](https://github.com/doublesecretagency/craft-viewcount/raw/ff0f22bf4114498efa07430a3ac1fe8d39c5c2be/src/resources/img/example-totalviews.png)](https://github.com/doublesecretagency/craft-viewcount/raw/ff0f22bf4114498efa07430a3ac1fe8d39c5c2be/src/resources/img/example-totalviews.png)

Track views via Twig, PHP, or AJAX
----------------------------------

[](#track-views-via-twig-php-or-ajax)

Basic tracking looks like this...

```
{% do craft.viewCount.increment(elementId) %}
```

However, there are several more advanced ways to [increment a view counter](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/view-count/how-to-increment-the-counter/).

Allow multiple counters on the same element
-------------------------------------------

[](#allow-multiple-counters-on-the-same-element)

If you need to track multiple aspects of the same element, it's easy to do so! Simply specify an [optional key](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/view-count/using-a-unique-key/) when setting up the tracking mechanism.

Sort by "most viewed"
---------------------

[](#sort-by-most-viewed)

Once you've started logging views, you'll likely want to know which items have been [viewed the most...](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/view-count/sort-by-most-viewed/)

```
{% set articles = craft.entries.section('articles') %}
{% do craft.viewCount.sort(articles) %}
```

Display view totals in the control panel
----------------------------------------

[](#display-view-totals-in-the-control-panel)

You can add a ["Total Views" field](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/view-count/total-views-fieldtype/), which displays a read-only total for each element.

Events
------

[](#events)

They do [exactly what you think...](https://plugins.doublesecretagency.com/view-count/events/)

- EVENT\_BEFORE\_VIEW
- EVENT\_AFTER\_VIEW

Within the `EVENT_BEFORE_VIEW` event, you can prevent the view from being counted.
