Author Topic: how to remove the - views part? (Read 9834 times)

Hi,

Great plugin - I use it to display the most viewed posts in the sidebar. However, since the count increments immediately, sometimes ppl click a whole bunch of times just to push a post up the list for no reason.
So, I'm wondering how I could delete the part after the post's link, where it shows:
- X views

then there's less incentive to madly click.
TIA

Open up postviews.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">$post_title</a> - $post_views ".__('Views', 'wp-postviews')."</li>\n"Replace:

Code: [Select]

$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">$post_title</a> - $post_views </li>\n"

Did it work?

Now it shows
- n

If I delete the - $post_views part, then the number count doesn't show up either, and now it's where I want it to be.

However, there's a similar line in the php file but it refers to snippet_chars... should I alter that line as well?

Also, will deleting the $post_views var from that line have any adverse affects on the count or anything else?

TIA

kratos: nope it will not, no need to delete from snippet_chars unless you are using wp-stats to display the highest viewed post

kratos · « **Reply #5 on:** 25 May 2007, 17:58 »

can u clarify a little?

a) I don't need to mess with the snippet line since I'm not using wp-stats
b) deleting $post_views from the other line won't have any adverse affects on the count or anything else

Am I correct on both?

TIA

yeap, correct for both.

Hello Lester!

As I posted in the Truncate post, the suggestion you gave works like a charm, however, the actual "number of views" after the posts arent disappearing, after following the instructions listed above, in this post.

I am sure I followed the instructions through properly.

Could you suggest other wise please. when you get time of course!

Thanks once again for the wonderful plugins!

GaMerZ · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 February 2008, 14:03 »

The solution is only for when the truncate option is not activated.

This is the solution that you need:

Find:

Code: [Select]

$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">".snippet_chars($post_title, $chars)."</a> - $post_views ".__('views', 'wp-postviews')."</li>\n";

Replace:

Code: [Select]

$temp .= "<li><a href=\"".get_permalink()."\">".snippet_chars($post_title, $chars)."</a> - $post_views</li>\n";

Lester, could you add a field for editing the "views" text in the next release for the plugin?
That would be awesome!

GaMerZ · « **Reply #12 on:** 17 February 2008, 17:37 »

There is now, WP-Admin -> Options -> Post Views. But it will not affect another templates like most viewed etc.

I think I should make it use the template.

falcon900ex · « **Reply #13 on:** 17 February 2008, 17:48 »

That would be great!

Hello Lester,

I tried both of the methods mention by you above. Unfortunately both dont seem to work. After replacing the code as you instructed, I still see the number of views show up. Any possible reason or suggestion, why this may not be working!?

Thanks!!
I am using WP-2.3 latest version, if that information be of use.

GaMerZ · « **Reply #15 on:** 24 February 2008, 07:57 »

Set the chars to 0 in the most viewed widget options in WP-Admin -> Presentation -> Widgets

vicks3983 · « **Reply #16 on:** 24 February 2008, 10:23 »

Hello Lester,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am sorry, I forgot to mention, I am using a non widgetized theme. Also both the version of wordpress and Wp-Post Views plugin are the latest one's.

I hope I am not irritating you, but if you want I could post the code or something if you like, so that you could guide me better! Let me know, If any info is needed!

Once again Thanks!
