The jas_popular_articles plugin reloaded

I had the need to create the list of most popular articles on the site – no frills, just this. Digging through the textpattern.org and the discussions revealed the unpleasant truth: the ones that do exists don’t work (jas_popular_articles), and those that do work (dzd_counter_view) don’t do what I need.

So, did I get brave, and here is the updated code for the jas_popular_articles plugin – version 0.2. The archive contains the raw PHP code, sorry, had no time to wrap it up as plugin yet.

Changelog

• More reliable (or should I say “clever” ;-) parsing of article IDs from log record data.
• Corrected the way articles above limit are chopped (previously, the limit was applied at the SELECT statement level, which was way too early).
• Corrected article URL generation (used to omit the link to the actual article, huh).
• Minor SQL corrections to work with older MySQL versions.

Caveat

As with the 0.1 version, will work only with messy URLs – even the more reliable method for obtaining article IDs needs them.
