Hello
How can I show view numbers in block_9
I choose most read in filter and want to show how many reads
thanks in advance
Hi,
You need to make a modification to show the views.
1. Add <?php echo $this->get_views(); ?> in td_module_9.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/koCkDeey
2. Copy the function get_views() from td_module_single_base.php in td_module.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/6pDj3N6S
3. Used this CSS for a better alignment, add it in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS section
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
top: 2px;
margin-left: 14px;
color: #aaa;
}
.td_module_wrap .td-module-meta-info .td-post-views span {
margin-left: 5px;
}Result: http://screencast.com/t/bxe0fSQep5
Thanks for the message!
absolutely perfect 😛
In what place of file td_module_single_base.php
function get_views() {
$buffy = '';
if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_views') != 'hide') {
$buffy .= '<div class="td-post-views">';
$buffy .= '<i class="td-icon-views"></i>';
// WP-Post Views Counter
if (function_exists('the_views')) {
$post_views = the_views(false);
$buffy .= $post_views;
}
// Default Theme Views Counter
else {
$buffy .= '<span class="td-nr-views-' . $this->post->ID . '">' . td_page_views::get_page_views($this->post->ID) .'</span>';
}
$buffy .= '</div>';
}
return $buffy;
}
should I insert in file td_module.php?
Hello,
You will need to copy the code from td_module_single_base.php and paste it in td_module.php and place it somewhere it does not affect other code, like for example here: http://screencast.com/t/CafGhKBymhz,
Then you need to edit td_module_8.php and add the line like in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/koCkDeey
<?php echo $this->get_views(); ?>
You can then use the css from above in the theme panel->custom css box for positioning.
I hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan!
Thanks for answer.
If I use a child-theme then after editing file td_module.php should be located
/Newspaper-child/includes/wp_booster?
Hi,
You need to keep the path as the original under the child theme. So, yes it should be in /Newspaper-child/includes/wp_booster
Thanks.
I asked why so much detail: does not work.
Fatal error: Call to undefined method td_module_6::get_views() in /home/MySite/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/modules/td_module_6.php on line 24
Line 24:
<?php echo $this->get_views();?>
Hello,
Please try to make these modifications to the main files so you can check to see if the modification worked as expected. And copy over the files in the child theme. Do a back-up of these files before you modify them. If the modification that works in the main file does not work from the child theme, then certain files will not be manageable from the child theme. I think the wp_booster files cannot be managed by the child theme.
Here is a list of files that can be used with the child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks.
Yes. And so it was: wp_booster files cannot be managed by the child theme.
Future platform support wp_booster files in child theme?
Or will show the view numbers on the home page in future versions of the theme?
Thanks!
Hello,
We try to improve our theme on every update, including the child theme support as stated here: http://screencast.com/t/utFewXhfcm
As for the views i will add them to our list of updateds and hopefully in a future version we will be able to implement views on all blocks.
Thank you!
Thank you! Then let’s not hurry with the modifications.
Hello,
I have done all three steps above but without any result.
I use block 11 so I modified file td_module_11.php ofcourse.
Is this procedure valid also for block 11?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Hi,
A module is not the same as a block. The module is the base element and a block is simply a container for modules. Block 11 does not use module 11. You can see a list of what modules are used on what blocks here: http://screencast.com/t/95I3JzMoIZ
Please apply the modification in module 10 as this is the module used in block 11
Thank you!
Hello Bogdan,
thank you very much for your help. Everything works.
I did not realize which module should be modified – so sorry for the stupid question.
Have a nice day.
