most viewed: only counts per viewer, not per view

[clazymike]

hello all,

my "most viewed" page seems to only count views once per unique IP, regardless of how many times that person may view the picture.  even if someone views a single picture 10 times over a span of a week or so, it only will count it as one view.  is there any option to make refreshes and reviews count?

thanks.

that's expected behaviour - you wouldn't want someone to increase the views counter by force-refreshing a page.

even though it might be ill-advised, is there a way for the view counters to count every individual view, including refreshes?

This should do what you want.

Hi!
I found this Topic via the search.
It's the same thing I want to change so I didn't start a new topic.
The only difference is, I'm using 1.4.x
What is the new code i need to replace? It isn't the same code you posted anymore.
Thx!

Don't ask cpg1.4.x questions on a cpg1.3.x board, there's a good reason why we have different sub-boards for different coppermine versions. Locking this thread.
