XF 2.2 Thread view count for article threads

[M3rein]

Hi,

I'd like to add the total view count for an article-type thread somewhere. I don't mind whether it's in the article listing or in the article itself somewhere, as long as it's in at least one or those two places.

Is this doable with just templates, and if so, could someone help me with implementing this?

this is the bit I added

<ul class="articlePreview-meta listPlain">
                <li><xf:avatar user="{$thread.User}" size="xxs" defaultname="{$thread.username}"/></li>
                <li class="articlePreview-by">{{ phrase('by_user_x', {'name':$username}) }}</li>
                <xf:comment>PETE added views</xf:comment>
                <li><dl class="pairs pairs--justified structItem-minor">
                <dt>{{ phrase('views') }}</dt>
                <dd>{{ $thread.discussion_type == 'redirect' ? '&ndash;' : ($thread.view_count > $thread.reply_count ? $thread.view_count|number_short : number_short($thread.reply_count+1)) }}</dd>
            </dl></li>

            </dl></li>

Works like a charm. Thanks!

You can remove structItem-minor class to make it same size with the article date.

In post_article_macros where exactly should i place the code?

Find the first line of his code (ul class =...) in the macro. That's not really part of his code, but show where to actually place it. Then paste the rest of the code under that. At least that's what worked for me. Unfortunately, I am using the 4x4 grid format that Brogan posted in a Resource and the Views: item in the footer doesn't format well in that layout. But I can probably do some tinkering now that I have the basic code.

where do you place what code... ?

After this:

<li><xf:avatar user="{$thread.User}" size="xxs" defaultname="{$thread.username}"/></li>
                <li class="articlePreview-by">{{ phrase('by_user_x', {'name':$username}) }}</li>

You add this

<li><dl class="pairs pairs--justified structItem-minor">
                <dt>{{ phrase('views') }}</dt>
                <dd>{{ $thread.discussion_type == 'redirect' ? '&ndash;' : ($thread.view_count > $thread.reply_count ? $thread.view_count|number_short : number_short($thread.reply_count+1)) }}</dd>
            </dl></li>
