Most Read articles with Thumbnails for Joomla! 1.5
I switch off the original module of Joomla! and made my own as I did not find anything similar in Joomla! extensions (JED)
This Module shows a list of the currently published Articles with thumbnails which have the highest number of page views.
Features
- Native #Joomla! 1.5 module
- Next 5 or more most popular articles are displayed with their thumbnails
- Support for SEF friendly URLs
- Code produced is XHTML 1.0 Strict,
- Tested in the following browser Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE 8
- Approved at #Joomla Extension JED (Soon),
- GPL v3.0,
- CSS driven output customizable to your likings,
- PHP5 object oriented with enough comments for you to be able to understand the code 🙂
- Non commercial.
Requirements
- Thumbnails resizing require PHP GD2 library for manipulating images. Any serious hosting company should have this option. Ask your Hosting support company!
Thumbnails
- Are created from the first images found in your introtext,
- For articles without images or when none are found you can provide a path to a default image
- Are saved in Joomla! /cache directory and are created only once for an article as it is required addtional CPU
- Currently the oldest thumbnails get removed 5 by 5 when you will have more then 5000 thumbnails in /cache.
