Increment View only counts Page 1 of discussions

schuchi

Hi,

I am fairly new to Vanilla (Vanilla 2.1.3).

I have been working my way through all the comment regarding the Increment View plugin. I have not found a solution to my problem or even someone with the same problem:

the plugin works fine as long as the discussion only has 1 page. As soon as there are more than 1 page and all links go to #latest the view count stays the same. That is, if you don't visit page 1 again.

It seems that the function within the plugin isn't even called when only page 2 or higher are viewed. I have checked via FireBug that the DiscussionID on the following pages is correct and it is.

I am really stuck and it would be great if someone could help.

Thanx!

plugin shouldn't be needed if:

solves some problems if view count is not incremented.

you could change this:

in php.ini

magic_quotes_gpc = Off

or via .htaccess

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

there was also a cache issue that was going to be fixed....

meanwhile - @linc whatever became of this https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/issues/1899

looks like the solution you guys came up with was removed from the issue - was it incorporated.

Hi peregrine,

thanx for that fast answer. The php.ini fix did it.
I added a php.ini in the vanilla Folder with

; Turn off magic quotes magic_quotes_gpc = off

Thank you!

no prob. the plugin really shouldn't be needed, and i'll probably have it removed at a later time.

if anyone has a dying need to use the plugin in 2.1 and have it work in more than one page

change
public function DiscussionController_BeforeDiscussionDisplay_Handler($Sender) {

to

public function DiscussionController_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler($Sender) {

in class.incrementview.plugin.php

But I would try changing magic quotes solution first.
