@Ajay
I made this fix a long time ago before I learned the proper way for doing such things. There is really no need to create a symbolic link to do such a task and you are right that it can be generated by PHP itself.

It sounds like I should write a tutorial for plugin developers on how to make their plugins WP-Super-Cache compliant.

Hi, I'm working on a plugin that is again conflicting with WP-Super-Cache. I took a look at Lester's PostViews which includes your fix, and incorporated that but it still won't update.

Also, why exactly is a symbolic link needed? Can this be generated in PHP itself?

@Chris SX Lester Chan did integrate this change into the WP-PostViews release. See my post about it.

Works like a charm! Thanks a lot … I spent my morning trying to figure out what was the reason for this bug, ’til i found it was due to WP Super Cache.

Now i hope Lester will integrate the fix in his plugin, or if you can manage to upgrade your hack for v1.31 …

Thanks !

I have incorporated Andy’s clean-HTML fixes and repacked it into the downloadable zip. Enjoy!

@Andy

Thank you for the clean-HTML fixes. I suffer from a mild code O.C.D myself so I totally understand. I will include this change into the zip archive and notify Lester Chan tonight. And please remember to write about it if you like it .

Hmmm, of course this got f**ed up by the commenting system.. I’ll try again, instead of ** you’d have to use “<”:
echo ‘**script type=”text/javascript”**’;
echo ‘// **\/script>”;
echo ‘”);’;
echo ‘// ]]>’;
echo ‘**/script>’;

Hi man! Thanks for your small hack. Actually I’m quite some Validation and Clean-HTML-Freak and I found out the Tidy HTML has some problems with the code of wp-postview.php.. Looks like you’d have to change the Javascript-code quite a bit to get it validated. I’m not quite sure if there would be an easier solution than mine, but at least it validates fine and makes no problems… This is for line 76 and following:
echo ”;
echo ‘// echo 'wp_postviews_js_url = "DOMAINNAME/wp-content/wp-postviews-js.php";';
echo 'document.write("";
echo '");';
echo '// ]]>’;
echo ”;

I think you are expert on wp-super-cache. Could you convert this plugin for wp-super cache?

It’s simple plugin I think. Couse only 25 lines.
Thanks a lot.

@All

Unfortunately, it turns out that I misunderstood the add_cacheaction hook. Previously, I thought that add_cacheaction hook gets called every time before a cached page is delivered. I was wrong and there currently is no such hook available in WP-Super-Cache right now. I will definitely make a request to Donncha to add this to WP-Super-Cache. So as it stands, you are stuck with the JS Mod version of WP-PostViews.

I have to appologize for getting your hopes up. The WP-Super-Cache code is quite complex (if Donncha doesn’t walk you through it ), so it took me a while to figure this out.

@Rosyidi

Yes, I will make use of WP-Super-Cache’s add_cacheaction hook to get WP-PostViews to count without Javascript while WP-Super-Cache is enabled. After evaluating the code, there is more work involved than I first thought, but it should be more efficient than the Javascript version when finished.
