XF 2.2 Show view count on each thread

[Salamanca]

Hi,

I'm looking to display the number of times a thread has been viewed on the top of each thread.

I came across this thread:

Show Views and Reply Count on Thread

Is there a way to show the number of times a thread has been viewed within the thread? Maybe at the bottom of the thread and it states something like "This thread has been viewed X times."

xenforo.com

I tried adding a custom HTML widget using this code:

<p>This thread has been viewed {$thread.view_count} times.</p>

But {$thread.view_count} is not phrased.

This cannot be done using a Widget?

Thanks
Alex

Hi,

I have added this on thread_view template:

<li>
                <xf:fa icon="fa-eye" />
                {{ phrase('thread_total_views') }} : {$thread.view_count}
</li>

And it works, the thread view count is shown on the top. But it's only shown for administrators.
I cannot find a relevant permission.

What am I missing?

Thanks
Alex

Ensure the display condition for the widget is empty and it will show for all visitors.

Hi, I did not add it to a widget. I edited the thread_view template.
thanks.

Then you must have added the code to a section of the template which has a permission check.

not really what you are looking for but a free addon exists for this.
