Ignoring repeated refreshes

    What is the setting in this plugin to prevent someone from corrupting the pageview count by repeatedly pressing the F5 key?

    Also, (and not as important) where in the database can I get a simple record of pageviews by post->id? This would be for a “most popular” calculation I want to do in the background. I see a “resource” column (like page-title) in the wp_slim_stats table but I would have to count(*) the rows, and there is a content_id col in the wp_slim_content_info table but no counter value.

    Basically, I want to use some of this raw data for my own functions… is anyone else doing that?

    Hi,

    unfortunately there’s no such setting in WP SlimStat (F5 problem). It would impact your site’s performance, especially if you have a big table.

    As for the post ID, WP SlimStat records the permalink (URL) in wp_slim_stats (which can contain query strings, tracking codes etc) and the post_id in wp_slim_content_info. You can join the two tables on content_info_id to get what you need. Then you can group by whatever you need to count. If you don’t need the info from wp_slim_stats, you don’t even need to join, just group by content_info_id and do a count(*) on wp_slim_content_info

    Cheers,
    Camu
