Total Views Counters is always 0

I also tested this on Drupal 10.1.x and I was able to reproduce the problem. That is, I had to clear cache for the counts to update.

Statistics is approved for removal. See 🌱 [Policy] Deprecate Statistics module in D10 and move to contrib in D11 Fixed

This is now Postponed. The status is set according to two policies. The Remove a core extension and move it to a contributed project → and the Extensions approved for removal → policies.

It will be moved to a contributed Statistics project once the project is created and the Drupal 11 branch is open.

@quietone I am experiencing the same. Do you know what is causing this?

Changing to 10.2 as this appears to be a bug and statistics is scheduled to be moved to contrib in 11.x

Ok I have rerolled previous patch. This contains both elements of #38 (working) and #39 (not working)

drupal_issues_2962763_test2.patch works for me locally.

I have not included the test as my assumption here is we probably need a new test for this, rather than changing the previous one. Not sure.

Counts are updating for now. This is without actually changing page cache (under performance) and the default views max-age cache on the view. Changing the cache to cache tags on the view seems to make little difference.

Browser still needs reloading to show the view count so I guess edge cache is still in place here, again not really sure.

Converted #59 latest patch by @2dareis2do to MR https://git.drupalcode.org/project/statistics/-/commit/c00a33433c3a243d6...

@2dareis2do 's answer on Slack :

My patch is just a collection of other peoples commits so I am not sure I am the best qualified person to review this. This patch has been working for me though. In the meantime I have decided to restrict stats view to registered users as as well.

Looks like there are quite a few change in statistics module. with 10.3 release.

https://github.com/drupal/drupal/tree/10.3.1/core/modules/statistics

Patch does not apply and statistics are not updating.

Patch probably needs to be re rolled.

Updated for 10.3

Note that this issue is about the contrib statistics project, not statistics in core, but the link you mention https://github.com/drupal/drupal/tree/10.3.1/core/modules/statistics is about core.

Right sorry. my bad.

Am i right in thinking this started as a core issue?

I guess the issue will never be fixed in core if the issue queue is now in contrib.

You're 100% right. Even more so now that 11.0.0 has been released and no longer contains statistics.

Updating issue to current Statistics release.

The module worked fine till I started using it as a contrib module (after it was moved out of core).

Now, the counter does not move. No matter what.

If the counter doesn't move, then this module is of no use really.

@newswatch you will need to provide more details about your configuration, possibly a a URL, to receive help. Without that we cannot know what does not work on your site.

First, can you reproduce the problem on a new site with just D11 core and statistics ?

@fgm: MR LGTM, what's the further plan here?

@anybody : awaiting a return from @newswatch since they appear to say it doesn't work for them, but I do not see how that can happen so we need more info.

@fgm thanks! So if I get you right, you assume the MR maybe isn't needed?

Anyway I'd like to propose that lazy builders *might* be a nice solution for this case!

I installed the module on a site where it had not been installed earlier.

I waited for 3 days to check. The ticker is not rolling. All stats remain 0 for all nodes.

With version 1.0.0 of Statistics module, on Drupal 10.3.10 and PHP 8.1.30, I've run the following tests - first without and then with the changes in MR !7 applied:

Clear caches;
Load a page with number of views showing;
Note number of views;
Load a different page;
Reload the first page;
Note number of views.

WITHOUT the MR !7 changes in place, on reloading the first page, the displayed number of views is unchanged from when the page was first loaded. Displayed number of views only increases after clearing caches.

WITH the MR !7 changes in place, on reloading the first page, the displayed number of views is incremented by 1 from when the page was first loaded. Further reloads result in further increments of the displayed number of views - no need to clear caches.

In other words, for me, the changes in MR !7 fix the failure to update issue.

Since there is no documentation on changes required for shifting from core module of Drupal 10.3.0 to Statistics 1.0, I need a confirmation about thsi, please.

Drupal change record → says that the following should be removed

# Allow access to Statistics module's custom front controller.
# Copy and adapt this rule to directly execute PHP files in contributed or
# custom modules or to run another PHP application in the same directory.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/core/modules/statistics/statistics\.php$

Now, I have done that. But what should it be replaced with (if at all)?
