how to disable the daily stats?

There isn’t an easy way to do it. You will need to modify top-10-addcount.php.js to comment out or delete line 29,34,35

Hi, thanks for your reply. In fact analyzing your code I was thinking something like that.

May be in the next version you can add a boolean option (daily yes/no) and simply change the 3 lines you mentioned with an ‘if(daily_enabled) …., right?

I mean in a lot of cases you don’t need daily stats and you can avoid the overhead (including the periodical maintenance of mysql tables – even I see is just a simple ‘truncate’).

I forgot to ask you one thing: I see the kind of AJAX request you do is like

https://best5.it/b5/wp-content/plugins/top-10/top-10-addcount.js.php?top_ten_id=344

what about browser cache? Should you add a parameter with a timestamp (that is always different) to force the browser doing the request to the server? Something like:

https://best5.it/b5/wp-content/plugins/top-10/top-10-addcount.js.php?top_ten_id=344&top10_timestamp=<random_value_concat_with_timestamp&gt;

of course server-side you simplu ignore the top10_timestamp url parameter…

Agreed on the daily turn off option. I’ve put it on the list of things to implement.

I haven’t noticed any problems with browser cache till date on this. If you refresh the page the hit will be tracked.

Am still trying to find a better implementation of the AJAX request. It’s the biggest issue currently in terms of performance.

Hi,

I posted a new topic with the AJAX solution. May be you can incorporate the same in your plugin new version.

The solution is also taking care of compatibility with W3 Total Cache.
