Photo View Counter

[photocroatia]

Hi Pekka or anybody else

Is teher anyway of updating the photo view counter (how many tiems a photos has been viewed)?

I am reorganizing my photos , but I don't want to loose the total counter value, as I have over 600000.

Is there anyway of updating the counter, i know the value is greyed out (non updateable)

Thank you.

The counters are stored per photo, i.e each photo id has a counter attached. If you reorganize photos using EE's tools counter value is preserved.

If you want to enable counter value updating in photo editor, change in EDITOR_photo.php

/*
$oldcounter = $HTTP_POST_VARS['counter'];

$update_counter = mysql_query(
"
UPDATE
ee_counter
SET
ee_counter.ee_counter_value = '$oldcounter'
WHERE
ee_counter.ee_counter_id = '$counter_id_to_sql'
"
);
ee_error ($update_counter,"update_counter",$currentpage);
*/

to


$oldcounter = $HTTP_POST_VARS['counter'];

$update_counter = mysql_query(
"
UPDATE
ee_counter
SET
ee_counter.ee_counter_value = '$oldcounter'
WHERE
ee_counter.ee_counter_id = '$counter_id_to_sql'
"
);
ee_error ($update_counter,"update_counter",$currentpage);


and code

<br><br>COUNTER:</b><br><input type="text" name="counter" value="<?php print $counter; ?>" size="20" STYLE="color: #999999; background: #dddddd;" maxlength="100" locked <?php

to

<br><br>COUNTER:</b><br><input type="text" name="counter" value="<?php print $counter; ?>" size="20" STYLE="color: #999999; background: #dddddd;" maxlength="100" <?php

and right after that delete line

<input type="hidden" name="counter" value="<?php print $counter; ?>">
