FoF Discussion Views

A lightweight discussion view tracker, with minimal settings and options.

Features

• Tracks how many times a discussion has been viewed and displays it per discussion on the discussionlist. Note: does not track unique views, rather every view, both as guest and registered member
• Adds 2 sorting options: popular and unpopular
• Adds 1 event which developers can listen for: DiscussionWasViewed - includes accessor IP and UserAgent strings
• Adds 1 new permission where people can (re)set the viewcount of a discussion (default to admins)
• Uses view_count column created on the discussions table, so should not impact load performance
• Identify known crawlers with an option to not increase the view count for their visit. Uses jaybizzle/crawler-detect for identification
