Anyone?
Maybe I need to clarify a bit, i’m sure it is possible:
I use a widget with the most popular tracks. The list is sorted by most views.
The views are counted by adding this snippet to function.php:
function getPostViews($postID){
$count_key = ‘post_views_count’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
return “0 View”;
}
return $count.’ Views’;
}
function setPostViews($postID) {
$count_key = ‘post_views_count’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
$count = 0;
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
}else{
$count++;
update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
}
}
// Remove issues with prefetching adding extra views
remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head’, 10, 0);
In the widget my_widget_popular.php I added:
<?php $args = array(‘showposts’ => $number, ‘nopaging’ => 0, ‘orderby’=>’meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘post_views_count’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘post_type’ => array(‘download’), ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’); $mypost = new WP_Query($args); if ($mypost->have_posts()) : ?>
Now I get a nice list with the most popular tracks based on views.
This will show all tracks from all categories.
But I want the list sorted by category. i.e. if I click on category D, the tracks with the most views in that specific category are showing.
I tried this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18555779/how-to-display-popular-post-by-view-in-current-category
But I think EDD use other queries.
Thanks!
