Hi, Radu and co…
quick question:

we’ve got quite a bit of data on existing sites for ‘post views’ using a plugin called PostViews, which writes to a field “views” (appropriately named).

To not duplicate fields, and to keep the eyeball views “current” vs starting from zero, how would we either a) import that data to your function, or b) likely a simpler solution would be if I could edit your function to reference the existing ‘views’ field to read/write that data and then deactivate the plugin.

Thanks folks 🙂
Christopher

Hello,

Yes, can be changed to read you views from that plugin. Just edit td_page_views.php file and change to views like here: http://screencast.com/t/zYyW7ebw

Thanks for the message

Awesome. Thank you!

I love your use of the screencast images to “show” what to do. That’s a great solution for support.
