Joomla 1.5 Articles Popular Lately - BETA

This module is a rewrite of the Joomla 1.0 module Popular of Late found here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,2414/Itemid,35/index.php 

Often there is such problem with the “Popular” (”Most Read Content”, mod_mostread) module. The articles displayed, get clicked over and over again, thus making these even more popular. As a result these articles do not leave from “popular” module, and new articles don’t appear here creating a vicious circle. One of solutions is to show popular news for the last NNN days. The “Articles Popular Lately” module based on the original “Popular” module and has an additional parameter only - the period of “novelty”.

So if you want to display the most popular items in the last month, you put it 30 as the period of novely. You will then get the most popular items in the last 30 days.

This module's usage is extremely simple, and should not require any particular usage instructions.

rexkramer - Subtract 1 Hit when clicked an Registered | 2008-07-27 09:11:12 Hello, nice to see a J1.5 version. Idea & request: i am searching for month now, and even the J!1.0 Developer of Popular-Of-Late did not answer... Is it possible to subtract 1-hit when the link was clicked and used in the Frontpage-context !? I mean, that would be the total solution for the "problem". I found many different extensions which seem to get infos about the click-context (like frontpage, new, edit, view..) and there are some counter related extensions which "blocks" the clicks for admins and special IPs... So, i wonder if someone (hopefully you) can solve this unwanted click-counting... thanx for listening! TIA!

Hope this helps with the debug - great idea for a module!! ;-)

DART - Fatal Error Super Administrator | 2008-11-05 13:17:08 Hi maxl, I can't get reproduce the error even though I have installed all the components you mention! Maybe you have other stuff installed? Or does this happen only on a particular page?
