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();
    }
}
