Number of Views in Voting Plugin won't updated

edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

After the installation of Voting plugin, every time I refresh page, the number of Views increased. so each posts had higher numbers of views.

But couple of days before, it suddenly changed. The number of views never increase unless I access the page from different computer from other place.

So my website looks like suddenly lost traffic. I really don't like it...

Is there any setting for the way of count the number of views of voting plugin ?? Or is there anything I missed like voting plugin is updated and count accurate numbers only now ?

  • Did you recently upgrade vanilla? I believe they recently changed the way the view count is tabulated (as you mentioned by ip) in the database . If the voting plugin retrieves the number of views (countviews) from the table (discussion), you would probably have to change the core . It is, what it is.

    Can I ask how I can do it ?

  • You would possibly have to modify it in discussionmodel.php. I don't really know, so I can't tell you how to do it. Maybe one of the developers will tell you if there is a config setting or how to set it.
    I saw something called $Configuration['Vanilla']['Views']['Denormalize']
    but I don't really know what it does.
