Hi,

I have created a new website and have test entries in the forum. I noticed such a high count in post views. I don't have any members yet - but I have website protection that checks the pages.

1. Just wondering how the number of view and worked out? It is incorrect information displayed if every instance of web crawlers are included in this count. Is there any way this can be fixed?
2. In the meantime, how do I disable the views from being displayed?
How do i disable "views" from showing in the front end? is there a setting i can toggle in the backend or do i have to modify the easydiscuss template?

Hello Adam,

I am sorry but unfortunately we do not have a settings for this yet currently. You need to edit the theme file /components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/frontpage.post.php and remove the codes below,



					<div class="views">

						<a href="<?php echo DiscussRouter::getPostRoute( $post->id );?>">

						<span class="item-count"><?php echo $post->hits; ?></span>

						<span><?php echo $this->getNouns( 'COM_EASYDISCUSS_VIEWS' , $post->hits );?></span>

						</a>

					</div>
