This module shows a list of the currently published articles which have the fewest or most number of page views. FRC is also able to create article lists sorted by date, by which most needed use-cases are covered to display articles on module positions.The module is based on the original module "Most Read Content". The original module was extended by 2 parameters. Show articles with a minimum number of visits and / or after a certain time.
I have published the version for Joomla! 2.5 on 08 April 2012, after I have received many requests for a Joomla! 2.5 version. This version is based as well as the Joomla! 1.5 version on the core module "Popular Content" and has been extended with the required functions. You can also specify the minimum number of days and hits that an article must have in order to be listed at all. Additionally, the number of hits can be displayed in the front end.
Version 2.5-2 has been greatly enhanced and provides several new features: set the sorting of articles (the module can now be used as an extended "Popular Content" module), set time interval of the creation date, display the creation date in various formats and cut the title length to a certain number of characters.
