Migrate views count ( WordPress Popular Posts )

Hi,

This plugin probably sotres the data somewhere, but in order to migrate it to Post Views Counter in a simple, one click way it would have to be stored in meta key.

Most plugins do it this way – store the total views data in a specific meta key. PVC is capable of importing that automatically for WP Postviews plugin or other plugins via “pvc_import_meta_key” filter hook (some code snippets are available in our support forum).

Tnx..

If meta key was ” total_ views ” how would your plugin
Import function look like ?

Example i know :
function custom_pvc_import_meta_key( $meta_key ) {
// Use your meta-key here
$meta_key = ‘post_views_count’;
return $meta_key;
}
add_filter( ‘pvc_import_meta_key’, ‘custom_pvc_import_meta_key’ );

…

But where to put “total_views” ?.. how this code look like with (total_views) meta key..?

Thnx..

If the meta key was “total_views” then it would look like:

function custom_pvc_import_meta_key( $meta_key ) {
	// Use your meta-key here
	$meta_key = 'total_views';
	return $meta_key;
}

add_filter( 'pvc_import_meta_key', 'custom_pvc_import_meta_key' );

You add that to your theme functions.php and then use the Import Views in PVC.

Thanks..

Got my post meta key made by this link

Current custom field is ” views_total ” from WordPress popular Post

My theme user function.php currently is is:

function custom_pvc_import_meta_key( $meta_key ) {
// Use your meta-key here
$meta_key = ‘views_total’;
return $meta_key;
}

add_filter( ‘pvc_import_meta_key’, ‘custom_pvc_import_meta_key’ );

/* Storing views of different time periods as meta keys */
add_action( ‘wpp_post_update_views’, ‘custom_wpp_update_postviews’ );

function custom_wpp_update_postviews($postid) {
// Accuracy:
// 10 = 1 in 10 visits will update view count. (Recommended for high traffic sites.)
// 30 = 30% of visits. (Medium traffic websites)
// 100 = Every visit. Creates many db write operations every request.

$accuracy = 100;

if ( function_exists(‘wpp_get_views’) && (mt_rand(0,100) < $accuracy) ) {
// Remove or comment out lines that you won’t be using!!
update_post_meta( $postid, ‘views_total’, wpp_get_views( $postid ) );

}
}

If anyone else has WordPress popular post and wants migrate..
Only down side is like i understood is.. have to manually view post to generate
custom fields..
