Log Page Views

    Hi,
    Great plugin. I run a very simple ‘members only’ web site. Simple History logs user logins which is very helpful. I would like to extend that to track the page(s) that each logged-in user visits. I don’t need anything like a stats plugin. Users cannot edit anything, so these are simply page views. I can get the data from Apache logs, but it would be much nicer to view it in Simple History. I suspect this is not difficult, but could use a few pointers on how to code this. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Sure, add something like this to your functions.php-file:

    
// Log page views by non-admin users
add_action('wp_footer', function() {
    // Do not log admins
    if (current_user_can('edit_users')) {
        return;
    }

    // Log only page views
    if (is_page()) {
        apply_filters('simple_history_log_info', 'A user viewed the page "{page_title}"', [
            'page_title' => get_the_title()
        ]);
    }
});
