views counter

Is there a method or module for displaying a counter for each time a user clicks on a Node?

I did enabled the Statistics Module on Drupal 6 core mod. The annoying feature with the default statistics module is, instead of displaying 'views' it says: 'reads' I did however try to edit the stat module file line: '@count reads' to '@count views' it worked on one of the files but didnt globally work for the 2 other files :(
Anyone recall doing something similar?

It's not a good idea to hack Drupal core.

I recommend you to enable the Locale module.

Then go to this url http://www.yoursite.com/admin/build/translate/search

There, search @count reads and change it to @count views.

Save your changes.

Cheers.

Display statistics counter separately

Is there a print $ function I can use to just generate a nodes page count in the node.tpl.php file. It seems the only way to include this is to do $links but of course I don't want everything to show up.

Thanks for the reply. I am

Thanks for the reply.
I am not sure what you want me to do here. as I cant find the @count. Sorry, I am still new with drupal.
Do I have to edit the locale.module to do this?

You might want to try the http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides module, it's a bit easier to use than locale.

thanks for the link. Gave it a try and worked. when you do upload a file, sometimes it shows reads but after a couple minutes of refresh it goes to views. which is fine. But I have been getting this strange views counter.
I hope I got this right, I have setup my statistic configuration to: increment a counter each time content is viewed. So, I have enabled Count content views.
on the advance setting module all the check boxes have been cleared: Do not log visits from search engines and crawlers and Only allow unique content views to increment a content's view counter. I have of course, checked the box for which nodes I want it for.

Strange thing is, if you logon as a user, each time you click on a node, it counts it. but if your an anonymous person, it doesnt count but counts it at a later time.
any clues to why this is happening?

I think that's default behavior-- see http://drupal.org/node/307419#comment-1007752 for more info. You might want to checkout the http://drupal.org/project/statistics_advanced module.
