“Popular of late” 1.1.1
Tags: joomla, module, popular of late
Today Roman Beranek has offered small improvement of the module, allowing to show tooltips with a number of hits the article has. I have slightly completed his idea and I call your attention to version 1.1.1 of the “Popular of late”.

Thanks

hi,
I have installed this module but with the default of 61 days nothing shows. If I up the figure to 999 it shows some results.
Any idea why its not working at 61?

Seems, all of your content is more than 61 days old. The main idea of this module is to not publish content older then some threshold (61 days by default).

anyone know of a tutorial anywhere on how to get no bullets or “plain-link” list on this module?

Through CSS, of course. As an example
ul.mostread<insert your moduleclass suffix here (without brackets)> li { list-style-type: none }September 28th, 2007 at 6:00 am
Thanks so much for this module. It is incredible. Does anyone know of a simple way to put the date of the article in brackets? Thanks.

should make it so you can add a thumbnail to the popular files. maybe like a mouseover.

Hi:
I thought I would let you know I experienced an old "bug" related to Joomla itemid when the item is a content item linked to a menu as a content item. That is, while the menu link would be correct, the link in popular of late would open on the homepage (itemid=1).
I do not know if this was the best solution, but it fixed the problem. There were 2 instances of:
$Itemid = $mainframe->getItemid( $row->id, 0, 0, $bs, $bc, $gbs );
which, when changed to:
$Itemid = $mainframe->getItemid( $row->id, 0, 1, $bs, $bc, $gbs );
allowed the proper rendering to allow the links to open on the menu linked page rather than on the homepage.
If you have a better solution, please let me know. This is a great module. Thanks.

Can you make this module compatible with joomla 1.5?!
Thanks in advance!

I second this ;) Will you do it?

OK. I've ported it to J!1.5.

Hello,
Nice idea… All articles older than "XX days" will not be displayed.
But that seems only suitable for News-Related sites or categories with a growing amount of new articles!
For a "normal" site with a more or less static amount of contents it would hide or even exclude important content! I definitly need ALL previous contents.
Maybe a strange question…
but is it possible to prevent the "hits-counting" in some places or on special events??? Maybe the most needed context is on the frontpage! Is there a way to detect WHERE the hit occured? (for instance: "Did the user click on the frontpage?" "In the module-context?" or "In the Article-Full-View?"
That should do the trick and solve the sticky problem… Am i wrong?
TIA!
