 * Hello,
 * the plugin is what I was looking for, because it is the first one working with
   Super Cache. However the statistics of most viewed shall be included in next 
   version to make it PERFECT. It would be great to show a list of top 10 viewed
   in last 7 days.
 * Also – when I past the code to index template, the counter adds views for all
   listed posts at once.
 * Thank you
    M.

 * Hi External11,
 * Thank you for reporting the issue,
 * We will most certainly keep this in mind. Our major update will have some great
   extended functionality.
 * Quick question (silly one) hehe, but why are you adding the code to your index?

 * Hi External11,
 * Really cool site you have going on there 🙂
 * Okay, this plugin was specifically made for use on individual posts only – (in
   counting and displaying the total views for each given post inline with your 
   post meta – throughout your site).
 * The reason for the counter populating views for all posts when placed in the 
   index file is simply because the plugin works directly with what is given from
   the post_id in your db.
 * Regarding the category views .. you need to count the total views for EACH post
   in the specified category, and then echo it to your category (similar to the 
   individual post view meta) ??
 * We will definitely look at having the additional functionality added to our major
   update.
 * My apologies for the ‘let down’
 * Regards

 * It would be really great to have 3 php codes: one to insert to a post, which 
   will count up views, second one just for showing the views (without counting 
   them) and a third one showing a list of top viewed posts (in this case it would
   be perfect to be able to specify number of posts, and for how many recent days
   would it count). Just some development ideas…

 * there is a variable to sort by views?
 * orderby = view
    order = view $ GET?
 * Thanks

 * Any solutions of counting all articles from the main page with every reload?
