EntryViews

[Rachel Druskin]

hi,
is it possible to use EntryViews with events?

[Stephen Harris]

HI Rachel,

EntryViews claims to work with any post type (which an event is), so I suspect it does, but I’ve never tried that plug-in.

[Rachel Druskin]

yeah, but you need to send postId, and i’m wondering if i have an overlapping with my events id
and my posts id?

[Stephen Harris]

Yes, event ID is the post ID (just different names).

[Rachel Druskin]

ok, thanks!!!

[Rachel Druskin]

unfortunately it doesn’t update the count 🙁
this is what i’m trying to display:

<?php printf( __( '%s views', 'eventorganiser' ), ev_get_post_view_count( get_the_ID() ));?>

[Stephen Harris]

What does get_the_ID() return and does it correspond to an event’s ID?

[Rachel Druskin]

get_the_ID return post id. i took this function from single-event.php template:

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>

and here:

$categories_list = get_the_term_list( get_the_ID(), 'event-category', '', ', ',''); 

[Stephen Harris]

Everything looks in order there then. I think you might have to ask the developer of EntryViews as to why its not working.
