(@ Admin: Please delete my comment under the J!1.5 port! sorry, copied/pasted wrong text there.)

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!

Can you make this module compatible with joomla 1.5?!

Thanks in advance!

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.

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.

Bob:

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
}

2lee:
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).

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?

Can you make this show the content picture and the name instead of just a name.

Thanks
