Most Popular Links block

I have this by using views. http://www.ravalonline.com/weblinks (right sidebar). I'll tell you the settings if you are interested.

Code form

  $view = new stdClass();
  $view->name = 'popular_weblinks';
  $view->description = 'Weblinks sorted by total page-views';
  $view->access = array (
);
  $view->view_args_php = '';
  $view->page = FALSE;
  $view->page_title = 'All-time popular content';
  $view->page_header = '';
  $view->page_header_format = '1';
  $view->page_footer = '';
  $view->page_footer_format = '1';
  $view->page_empty = '';
  $view->page_empty_format = '1';
  $view->page_type = 'table';
  $view->url = 'popular/alltime';
  $view->use_pager = TRUE;
  $view->nodes_per_page = '20';
  $view->menu = TRUE;
  $view->menu_title = '';
  $view->menu_tab = TRUE;
  $view->menu_tab_weight = '0';
  $view->menu_tab_default = FALSE;
  $view->menu_tab_default_parent = NULL;
  $view->menu_tab_default_parent_type = 'tab';
  $view->menu_parent_tab_weight = '0';
  $view->menu_parent_title = '';
  $view->block = TRUE;
  $view->block_title = '10 most viewed';
  $view->block_header = '';
  $view->block_header_format = '1';
  $view->block_footer = '';
  $view->block_footer_format = '1';
  $view->block_empty = '';
  $view->block_empty_format = '1';
  $view->block_type = 'list';
  $view->nodes_per_block = '10';
  $view->block_more = FALSE;
  $view->block_use_page_header = FALSE;
  $view->block_use_page_footer = FALSE;
  $view->block_use_page_empty = FALSE;
  $view->sort = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node_counter',
      'field' => 'totalcount',
      'sortorder' => 'DESC',
      'options' => '',
    ),
  );
  $view->argument = array (
  );
  $view->field = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'title',
      'label' => '',
      'handler' => 'views_handler_field_nodelink',
      'options' => 'link',
    ),
  );
  $view->filter = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'type',
      'operator' => 'OR',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => array (
  0 => 'weblinks',
),
    ),
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'status',
      'operator' => '=',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => '1',
    ),
  );
  $view->exposed_filter = array (
  );
  $view->requires = array(node_counter, node);
  $views[$view->name] = $view;

This sounds like a nice feature to add. Adding to my todo list.

Please don't make it dependent on Views though. The two sites I want to use Weblinks on the most don't have Views.

Although I want to have views integration I have no intention if making views a Dependence.

Thanks

Good. This block will be much faster if done natively, and I believe this will be a relatively slow block as it is.

Included in the patch in http://drupal.org/node/282480

committed to 6.x

Can you give me how to do that ?
The steps, i am Newbie :)

Thanks

cakka,

It is built into 5.x-2.0. You have to have the core module stats enabled and use Node not url in the settings but once you have stats enabled a block should be there called popular. That all there is to it.

Thanks
Robert
