One additional usefull function

Hi!

First: great plugin, very simple but usefull.

I wrote a little additional function to this plugin. I’ve noticed that if i want to show posts views on main page (or anywhere except single.php) that incerase view property even if no one see the article. So I’ve decided to add function echo_post_views_not_counted() with is not adding view info to db. Now on every page I use this function, and on page single.php im using normal echo_post_views(). Maybe for someone it will be usefull.

Paste the following function in wp-post-view.php file, below echo_post_views() function (in my case 19.03.2013 – ver 1.0) its 125 line).

if (!function_exists('echo_post_views_not_counted')) {

    /**
     * Echo, print or display the views of the post.
     * @param <type> $post_id
     */
    function echo_post_views_not_counted($post_id) {
        if ($post_id) {
            $views = wp_get_post_views($post_id);
            echo number_format_i18n($views);
        } else {
            echo 0;
        }
    }

}

Use simply like other functions:

<?php echo_post_views_not_counted($post->ID); ?>
or
<?php echo_post_views_not_counted(get_the_ID()); ?>
