I created this theme about a year ago for client and I thought I’d like to share this to the community. This theme will show the views (reads) count for posts, that’s it!
If anybody is still using this component and encounter problems after upgrading Discourse to 2.9.0.beta3, have a try with my fix: GitHub - freemdict/discourse-post-views-counter-theme. Remember to disable or remove the previous version of component.
Awesome component! It is very useful. However just noticed recently it has stopped displaying on my 2 servers. I have one running Stable snd thr other is test passed.(Jan 2023)
I have, it doesn’t show anything and I can’t find any errors. It worked at some point, but I can’t pinpoint when and when the situation changed — mostly because there was a bit layout problems earlier but mostly because I didn’t feel I would get any useful pros.
Now I gave a new try, and it just doesn’t work. And not work means tablets and phones so it can work on real desktops; but everything must work on mobiles because those are the most dominent group of devices in use nowadays. If something doesn’t work on mobiles it is for minority and all it gives for community and admin is just another part that can break places.
And I’ve changed time format to long date because Discourse’s way is really… american and difficult to understand, at this part of Europe anyway. But that’s why we have tools to customize everything. There is still open question if that gives hard times to the plugin.
