If we want to see how many times an item is viewed at any given time, NP_VIEWS is the one to use, we set it up so we can see at the item page and the summary @ the Admin plugin page.

Well, first we need to install the plugin (assuming we're expert in how to install plugins by now) if not, then down load and extract the NP_VIEWS.zip, there are 1 folder and 1 file, copy both of these to your domain.com/yournucleus/nucleus/plugins/ directory, then go to admin page, click on the Plugins link (on the left column), go down to the bottom of the plugin page and select the VIEWS plugin, it should be there on the list, if not, then you didn't copy the folder & the php file to the correct directory. If you installed it correctly, you should see this

We left everything by default, but if you want to change the interval or something, click edit options

Now we need to place the var where we want it to show, which is every item in our blogs. Each blog has 1 skin, if we have 5 blogs, then we need to edit 5 index templates because each skin... ... has its own index/item templates. We like to put ours right after the edit of the item, so here how we placed our var. This one is based on a non-default cms skins, so it does look different

This one is the default nucleus cms skin base. Do it for both index & item templates for each skin. Put a space in the front & back of <%Views%> so it doesn't look so close like my displays.

Well we did all of our skins and blogs and the display will be as the top pictures.

GREAT PLUGIN THANKS EDMOND!!!
