I need to modify the news module to prevent a user from increasing count read on his/her own articles by clicking multiple times. Has anyone made some similar change? Where and which file can I go to add a condition to "not count click" from the author, the same previous user?

ok. No reply so i thought I try something... and here is what i got... I edit the

class.sfiles.php file in the modules/news/class directory to add the following codes to after the line 161 in the updateCounter fuction. here is how it looks... but it doesn't seem to work.


function updateCounter()

    {

        //hacked to prevent same author or user read count

        $active_ip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");

        $sql="SELECT hostname FROM".$this->table." WHERE hostname=".$this->getFileid();

        $host_ip=$this->db->queryF($sql);

        //echo $active_ip;

        $host_ip=$hostname;

        if ($active_ip==$host_ip || $active_ip==$last_ip) {

            return false;

        }else{

        $last_ip=$active_ip;

        //hack ends here

        $sql = "UPDATE ".$this->table." SET counter=counter+1 WHERE fileid=".$this->getFileid();

        if(!$result = $this->db->queryF($sql)) {

            return false;

        }

        return true;

    }

    }



I hope someone can help me with this.

Re: news read count hack

sFiles is short for "storyFiles" i.e. it has nothing to do with the story counter.

Also, you have a $xoopsUser object to work with to identify users, hacking to compare IP's etc. is not needed.

Instead work with article.php and fin this:

if (empty($_GET['com_id']) && $storypage == 0) {

    $article->updateCounter();

}


and modify it to this:

if (empty($_GET['com_id']) && $storypage == 0) {

    if (!$xoopsUser || $xoopsUser->getVar('uid') != $article->uid() ) {

        $article->updateCounter();

    }

}
