Statistics Counter
This module extends Drupal's core statistics functionality by adding counters for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly node views. These new counters can be integrated with Views to display, filter, and sort content based on view counts over different time periods.
This is a tiny module that extends Drupal's core statistics module by adding node counts for week, month and year.
The module integrates with Views. If you create a View and show fields, and select the category "Content statistics", the following fields can be used (also see screenshot on the right):
- Most recent view (from core Statistics)
- Total views (from core Statistics)
- Views this month
- Views this week
- Views this year
- Views today (from core Statistics)
The field "Most recent view" shows the the time of the most recent view. The other shows a count (integer).
You can also use those fields to order and filter content.
Requirements
- Statistics (core)
Installation
Install as you would normally install a contributed Drupal module. For further
information, see Installing Drupal Modules.
Configuration
The module has no menu or modifiable settings. There is no configuration. When enabled, counters for week, month and year becomes fields available to Views.
The three counters (week, month, year) are reset in hook_cron(). For
this to work, cron needs to run as frequent as you want the counters
reset.
Project Status
The module is minimally maintained and new features will not be added by its maintainers. Instead, the community is encouraged to use the core Statistics module for this use case, and requests for new features should be directed towards core.
