Sorry for the short reply earlier, but you wont find anything looking thrue the node. Normally we use the cronjob I suggested or tings like Google analytics.

If both are out of the question you could make yourself an template operator that you call in the bottom of pagelayout outside any cache blocks.
The operator should then stores and retrive count number pr node, it should also sense if the page in question is a node or not (this can alternativly be done in the template).

Hope this help a bit more.

Re-hi,

Running the cronjob.php (manually), I get this error :

Script cronjobs/updateviewcount.php starting

Warning: (PHP)
fopen( /var/log/apache2/domain/domain.dnsalias.net.access.log): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/eztest/cronjobs/updateviewcount.php on line 101

Timing: ()
Script cronjobs/updateviewcount.php done

It's strange because /var/log/apache2/domain/domain.dnsalias.net.access.log exist and contain the access log of my website, moreover, everybody can read it...

The command that I use is

php runcronjobs.php  -d -s fr

I juste have one public siteaccess called "fr".

Did I forgot something ?

Hi Sébastien, are you using the SitePrefix[] setting in logfile.ini? At first sight (I'm trying it on a site here) the documentation seems to be wrong - or there's a bug in the script. You need to add an extra trailing slash (and you also need to escape this slash because it is going to be used in a regular expression) in the ini file:

SitePrefix[]=eng\/
SitePrefix[]=ezwebin_user\/

Does it work now?

I guess this is also what's going wrong reported in bug http://issues.ez.no/9559

It's me again...

I don't know why, but the view_count is too high for many nodes.

I have place this

{def $nbclics=ezviewcounter( $node.node_id, true())}

in the full view of my song class in order to update the count and display it, and this

{ezviewcounter( $node.node_id)}

in her line view in order to just display the number of clics.

And when I access a node who have the count at 0, I first view it by her line view, she says "0", so all is ok. Then I click on the line view (href), I come to the full view and the couner says me "1", so all is ok.
But when returning to the line view, (by viewing the parent node's full view of the song), the counter says me "2", or "3" (I have made this scenario many times, and the result is variant).

It seems that when I call

{ezviewcounter( $node.node_id)}

the counter is updated...
