View Count Plugin for Craft CMS 3.x
===================================

[](#view-count-plugin-for-craft-cms-3x)

Keep track of view counts over a period of time to show popular elements. Right now, it lumps views into aggregates by day.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

After installing and enabling, all you need to do is register a view count in the template:

```
{% do craft.viewcount.increment(entry.id) %}
```

Of course, it doesn't need to be an entry id, it could be any element ID, such as a category.

To start using views in your query, all you need to do is use the "views" keyword in your `order` parameter. For example:

```
{% set blogPosts = craft.entries({
    section: 'blog',
    order: 'views DESC',
    limit: 10
}) %}
```

This will sort based on the number of views in the past 24 hours.

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

Right now, there is a single setting to toggle whether view counts should be recorded to logged in users.

Developer Events
----------------

[](#developer-events)

The following events are emitted to allow for programmtic customization:

#### EVENT\_REGISTER\_VIEW

[](#event_register_view)

You can listen for this event on the `venveo\viewcount\services\ViewCount` class to control whether a view count should be registered. The event class, `ViewCountEvent`, contains:

- `$elementId` - The element ID being registered as a view
- `$siteId` - The id of the site the element resides on
- `$shouldSkip` - a boolean for whether the view should be skipped

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require venveo/view-count

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Popular Entries.
