Create questions with fake views and upvotes?

Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:27:59 +0000

When a question is created, it is started with 1 view (actually it's 0 views but you are the first views) and 0 votes.

I just don't like zero. Can I make questions with fake views (like 14), and fake upvotes (like 3) ?

I see that, in the database file (https://github.com/q2a/question2answer/blob/78b969da37468e8668559e3ffe23687ae5587129/qa-include/db/install.php), we can manipulate

'upvotes' => 'SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0',
'downvotes' => 'SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0',
'netvotes' => 'SMALLINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0',
'lastviewip' => 'VARBINARY(16)', // INET6_ATON of IP address which last viewed the post
'views' => 'INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0',

Can I change those default values other than zero?

How to limit the max amount of views displayed in a question?

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 00:01:41 +0000

I want to display question views but only to a certain limit. For example:

Question A: 340 views

Question B: 1,000+ views

I think it's important to hide your most visited pages from competitors. Keyword competition in Google results can be brutal. But I still want users to know which questions are most visited.

How to count all views on questions without limitation of ip, user etc. ?

How to count all views on questions without limitation of ip, user etc. ?

I want to count all views on questions regardless of ip, user etc. in 1.8.0.

I upgraded to 1.8.0 and it stopped counting all views

I did remove the code on question.php

Reference - http://question2answer.org/qa/51318/can-change-views-count-from-unique-based-simple-views-based

Removing code from question.php does not work anymore.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks for your help.

Can I change 'views count' from unique-IP-based to simple any/all-views-based?

Wed, 13 Apr 2016 22:02:15 +0000

So rather than incrementing the 'view' count for a question based on how many unique people have actually viewed the question (IP based), I'd simply like it to increment every time someone views it. So if they view it 5 times, the view counter value for that question increments by 5.

(It would be nice to exclude bot 'views', since that could really get out of control! But only if it's within the scope of the same question, then it's my 'follow-up question' ! )

qa_is_human_probably() probably not sufficient

Wed, 13 Apr 2016 08:03:05 +0000

I have built my own adtracker using a plugin.

I noticed many bot requests that were counted as ad views, even though I was using qa_is_human_probably(). It was in my case an SEO bot with Mozilla ... as user agent.

I ended up using jquery and an ajax call to be sure it is not a bot and to have the correct human view count.

Just some thoughts.

What is the reason for number of views of some questions of my site increasing unusually?

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 22:40:32 +0000

Those numbers are not very high. But comparing views of my other questions I feel those are unusual.

Number of views of some questions of my site is increasing unusually day by day and number of hit count of my site is not increasing with that amount.

How to make view counts work behind a reverse proxy like nginx?

Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:31:46 +0000

My q2a server is deployed on a different server, receiving requests from an nginx proxy that is on its own server, so the only client IP that q2a sees is the nginx server's IP. This results in view counts not incrementing. The requests that come into q2a could have X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP headers, but q2a doesn't use them.

Is there a way to configure this, or places in the code I can start looking to make modifications?

Note: I took a look at this question, but I'm not sure if it applies to my case, since my nginx and q2a servers are on different servers w/ different IPs. Also, assume it's not an option for me to install nginx on the q2a server to do the client IP rewriting,
