Info: All new features and download link will be updated in the first post.

In version 1.2.1 (Master) it is now possible. Every trackable template has a field called "phits". You can use this field in selectors. Either to sort: template=news, sort=-phits or as a value selector, for example: template=news, phits>=100 For an output in the frontend, simply access the field with: $page->phits This makes it very easy to output "trending topics", for example. Select news with a date field in a certain period and sort by "phits".

This problem has now been fixed in version 1.2.1 (master). Thanks for the report. All in version 1.2.1 (Master) You can now set the session lifetime to 0, which will disable cookies and count each page view Thanks for the bug report, the problem with location.pathname is fixed The problem was in fact the ctype test. Good found, thanks and fixed I have optimized the request a bit, the overhead is reduced I've added an option that lets you hide the counters. By accessing the field "phits" you can make your own output according to your ideas This is correct, only counters are reset which already have a value greater than 0. I have formulated this differently in the descriptions and in the output to make it clearer and more understandable Thanks to @matjazp and @wbmnfktr for testing and reporting. ?

All right. I'll take a look and check. ?

Do I understand this correctly: A counter is displayed and tracked for your homepage template even though you have not configured the template? Or do you use a template for your homepage which is also used for other pages? Also a quick update: Version 1.2.0 with Sortable selector Version 1.2.0 is now available on the Dev-Branch, which makes it possible to sort the pages by hits. Please check the upgrade for test environments first, because the DB structure will be changed. Previously tracked data will be taken over, a new fieldtype will be installed. Simply replace all files and trigger a module refresh in the PW. Infos and download: https://github.com/FlipZoomMedia/PageHitCounter/tree/dev

Good suggestions. ? Both functionalities are implemented in the current Dev branch. You can test them here: https://github.com/FlipZoomMedia/PageHitCounter/tree/dev

I was just considering this approach, but it did not meet the requirements in my case. It should be live data, due to quick reactions at hot topics of the editors. And since some templates of the page in the ProCache have lifetimes of more than a week or more, an update of pages with a daily CronJob would also delete the cache unnecessarily. But as you already say, many approaches for very special requirements. ?

Thank you. Not yet, because the data is stored in an extra table. But I will write the possibility for a future version on the ToDo-List. ?

The Page Hit Counter module for ProcessWire implements a simple page view counter in backend. Page views of visitors are automatically tracked on defined templates, with monitoring of multiple page views. This gives you a quick overview of how many visitors have read a news or a blog post, for example, without first having to open complex tools such as Google Analytics. This module quickly provides simple information, e.g. for editors. Or, for example, to sort certain news by most page views. For example for "Trending Topics". Works with ProCache and AdBlockers. With a lightweight tracking code of only ~320 bytes (gzipped). And no code changes necessary! In addition GDPR compliant, since no personal data or IP addresses are stored. Only session cookies are stored without information. In addition, there are some options, for example filtering IP addresses (for CronJobs) and filtering bots, spiders and crawlers. You can also configure the lifetime of the session cookies. Repeated page views are not counted during this period. It is also possible to exclude certain roles from tracking. For example, logged in editors who work on a page are not counted as page views. Sort by hits and access page views (hit value) Each trackable template has an additional field called phits. For example, you want to output all news sorted by the number of page views. // It is assumed that the template, e.g. with the name "news", has been configured for tracking. $news = $pages->find("template=news, sort=-phits"); To output the page views of a tracked page, use: echo $page->phits; Example: Reset counter per API $modules->get("PageHitCounter")->resetPageViews("template=whatever", false); Example: Tracking a page hit via API and jQuery If you want to track a template that does not represent a full page to automatically inject a tracking script, you can define allowed API templates in the module that you can track. Below is an example of how you can track a click on news tag using jQuery. This will allow you to find out which keywords are clicked the most. For example, you can sort and display a tag cloud by the number of hits. Suppose your keywords have the template "news_tag". The template "news_tag" was also configured in the Page Hit Counter Module as a trackable API template. Example PHP output of keywords / tags: // Required: the data attribute "data-pid" with the ID of the template to be tracked. echo $pages->find("template=news_tag, sort=-phits")->each("<a href='{url}' class='news_tag' data-pid='{id}'>{title}</a>"); Example Tracking Script with jQuery: /** * Required: Data attribute "data-pid" with the ID of the news tag template * Required: Send the POST request to the URL "location.pathname.replace(/\/?$/, '/') + 'phcv1'" * Required: The POST parameter "pid" with the ID of the template */ $(function(){ if($('a.news_tag').length > 0) { $('a.news_tag').each(function(){ var tPID = $(this).data("pid"); if(tPID) { $(this).on("click", function(){ $.post(location.pathname.replace(/\/?$/, '/') + 'phcv1', {pid: tPID}); }); } }); } }); So simply every click on a tag is counted. Including all checks as for automatic tracking. Like Bot Filtering, Session Lifetime, etc. Notice: Tracking with URL segments If the option "Allow URL Segments" is activated on a template, the hits are only counted if the base URL of the page is called. If you want the hit to be counted even when a segment is requested, you MUST configure the segments in the template configuration. How to do this can be found here. If you use dynamic segments, configure them as RegEx. There is currently no other option. The problem is that the Page Hit Counter hooked into the PageNotFound process. If URL segments are allowed but not defined, a 404 is never triggered. This means that the Page Hit Counter cannot be called. New since 2.0.0: Ignore URL segments If a template has URL segments configured, each hit on a different segment is counted as a new hit. Enable "Ignore URL segments" so that dynamic segments are not counted individually on the base template / page. New since 2.0.0: Use cookieless tracking (Experimental) Enable this option to not use individual cookies for tracking or if you have many different pages you want to track. The limit for cookies is 50 per domain for all cookies on the page. If the option is enabled, PHP session storage is used. Downside: you can't set the lifetime higher than configured in your PHP.ini and the session will be terminated as soon as the browser is closed. Upgrade note for 2.0.0 from previous versions! Version 2.0.0 requires an update in the database schema, so that additionally the date of the last access / hit on the page can be displayed ($page->lastPageHit). To make this possible, you have to do the update via the upgrade module, upload the ZIP itself and do an update directly via the backend AND DO A MODULE REFRESH DIRECTLY AFTER UPLOAD/UPDATE. If you do not do this, you will get an error that a column is missing in the database table. _______________________________________________________ Background: This module is the result of a customer requirement, where the editors are overwhelmed with analytics or no tracking tools were allowed to be used. However, a way had to be found to at least count page views in a simple form for evaluations. Furthermore, by using ProCache, a way had to be found to count views of a page without clearing the cache. _______________________________________________________ Pros Automatic Page View Tracking Lightweight tracking code, only ~320 bytes (gzipped) No code or frontend changes necessary Works with ProCache! Even if no PHP is executed on the cached page, the tracking works Works with browser AdBlockers No cache triggers (for example, ProCache) are triggered. The cache remains persistent GDPR compliant, session-based cookie only, no personal information Filtering of IPs and bots possible Exclude certain roles from tracking Ability to reset Page Views Works with all admin themes Counter database is created as write-optimized InnoDB API to track events for templates that are not viewable No dependencies on libraries, pure VanillaJS (Automatic tracking script) Works in all modern browsers Pages are sortable by hits Cons Only for ProcessWire version 3.0.80 or higher (Requires wireCount()) Only for PHP version 5.6.x or higher No support for Internet Explorer <= version 9 (Because of XMLHttpRequest()) No historical data, just simple summation (Because of GDPR) Segment URLs can only be counted if the segments are defined Planned Features / ToDos API access to hit values Since version 1.2.1 Possibility to sort the pages by hits (Request by @Zeka) Since version 1.2.0 Don't track logged in users with certain roles (Request by @wbmnfktr) Since version 1.1.0 Possibility to reset the counter for certain pages or templates (Request by @wbmnfktr) Since version 1.1.0 Better bot filter Since version 1.1.0 Disable session lifetime, don't store cookies to track every page view (Request by @matjazp) Since version 1.2.1 Option to hide the counter in the page tree (Request by @matjazp) Since version 1.2.1 Option to hide the counter in the page tree on certain templates Since version 1.2.1 API to track events for templates that are not viewable Since version 1.2.2 Cookieless tracking Since version 2.0.0 Show last hit Since version 2.0.0 Ignore URL segments (Request by @bernhard) Since version 2.0.0 Add hookable method after pageview was tracked (Request by @bernhard) Since version 2.0.0 Changelog 2.0.0 Feature request: Add hookable method after pageview was tracked (___pageViewTracked($pageID)) (Requested by @bernhard) Feature request: Ignore URL segments option (Requested by @bernhard) New: Cookieless tracking New: Show date of last hit Update: Botlist Enhancement: Documentation improvement 1.2.7 Feature request: make buildPageListHitCounter-Function public (Requested by @bernhard) 1.2.6 Bug-Fix: Set the counter of a cloned page to 0 Enhancement: The function for resetting counters is now available in the module as a public function to reset counters via own scripts on the API side (Request by @VeiJari) Enhancement: Documentation improvement API reset 1.2.5 Bug-Fix: When counting 404 hits, cookies are no longer set.

@adrian I have no more problems with the upgrade module under PHP 7.0 and 7.1. However, I had a problem with PHP 7.2 some time ago. However, I can' t remember the exact error message. It was something with "Can't parse JSON from Github". Had then switched back to PHP 7.1 and it worked. I'm trying to reproduce that again.

The cloning is in the scrolling event, because PW also clones the buttons at the page load (for the head area). If I clone the original savebuttons during pageload, they will also be duplicated in the head. However, it is ensured that this event is only executed once during scrolling as soon as the top threshold is reached. If a page is not long enough, no button needs to be cloned. The position storage is also intercepted with a debounce. The position is not saved until 250 milliseconds after the end of the scrolling event. It may look like this in the code, but any manipulation of the DOM is done only once.

I have opened a ticket on GitHub, in which I present a modification respectively a proof of concept, which significantly improves the editing of pages, especially with long contents. The save buttons are always in view with this modification, and the scroll position when editing and saving is saved and restored after saving. You can also find a screencast and code extensions on GitHub. What do you think of that? Link: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-requests/issues/177

After a long back and forth and many tests, the problem persists. But it could break down on a module. Ryan's update module. The Web server only hangs up when this module is called. After consulting the system administrator, he assured me that the server-side configuration is absolutely identical to the PHP 7.0 configuration. All modules, settings, paths, timeouts (60 seconds) are absolutely the same. Also the right PHP handlers are used. Only the PHP module "ioncubeloader" is not yet available for 7.1, is, according to my knowledge, but not required. However, there is no useful information in the PHP log. I'm pretty much on the hose and do not get the problem solved. Without the update module, everything runs smoothly. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

Hm, okay. Thanks for your feedback. Then I have to go into detail in the search. Actually, I used the same configuration as PHP7. The error occurred only since I have cleared the cache of ProCache and then went to the upgrade module. Since then, the error has occurred.

Hi, I have changed today a productive site with a PW installation in version 3.0.37 on PHP 7.1. Unfortunately, the system does not seem to run anymore. The page loads and loads and loads until the timeout (both: frontend and backend). The following error is only logged in the Error Log: - Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: https://www.höhle-der-löwen.com/ - 9563#0: *21784 upstream timed out (110: Connection timed out) while reading response header from upstream - 9563#0: *21901 upstream prematurely closed connection while reading response header from upstream Does anybody have the same Problem? With PHP 7.0, everything runs smoothly.

I have found a strange bug in Jumplinks module, whereby entries can not be edited. I have opened a ticket on Github, with video and solution. https://github.com/rockettpw/jumplinks/issues/11

Damn it. You were faster. I had the same module on my to-do. Thanks for the module. Very helpful! I have three more points as a feature on my idea list: empty the ProCache and AIOM+ cache when they are installed. Remove all image variations and a short-cut to clear everything at once.

CloudFlare helps us additionally in the defense against DDoS attacks. We have a few projects of customers who like to be the focus of attackers and often attempt to paralyze the servers. With CloudFlare, we have this blocked quickly. The service blocks the attacks, but leaves the real visitors through.

Unfortunately I have no server with this configuration available to reproduce the problem. Are you sure that you do not have modules like Google Page Speed / SPDY activated? These do the minimization and compression automatically.

Please update AIOM to the latest version 3.2.3. This problem has been fixed with the chmod and uses ProcessWire-own functions for it. This should not happen anymore.

Thanks Steve, I've fixed the problem in version 3.2.3. It was late at night. The update is available on Github.

Hi guys, I have just released an update to version 3.2.2 on Github. It fixes the security issue with the CHMOD, the problem with many files and has a better detection of changes to files. Sorry that it took so long. But we currently have a lot to do. The module will continue maintained. AIOM4 is on the to-do list. Best regards, David

Haha okay. Right. Sometimes you can not see the forest for the trees.

Very good idea for the module! I like the concept, and in the end also for the end user easier to understand than him unlearn habits. Absolutely helpful would be an own InputField. So you can add assets not only in the text editor, but also the template. Either select from the Library, replace a selected asset or a new upload. Just like the current file InputField, but just connected to the module. Thank you for doing the work. I look forward to the module.
