JReviews: Keeping the Admin from adding to the hit counter

Regular Joined: Jul 02, 2009 Posts: 71

I'm trying to alter the code so that when an admin visits a review page it doesn't count against the hit counter. I assume if I modify this statement:

Code:

    if (($page == 1) OR ($page == "")) {


   $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_jreviews SET hits=hits+1 WHERE id='$id'");

and add maybe a 'if admin' statement with another line of code that has hits+0 or something that might work, but I'm having trouble figuring out the proper way to code it. Can anyone help?

Code:




if (!is_admin($admin)) {


$db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_jreviews SET hits=hits+1 WHERE id='$id'");


}

Of course, you'll need to make sure $admin is in scope to use

Wouldn't that make only the admin apply hits? Would I need an else statement in there?

I tried this, but it didn't seem to do anything:

Code:

if (!is_admin($admin)) { 


$db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_jreviews SET hits=hits+0 WHERE id='$id'"); 


}


    else if (($page == 1) OR ($page == "")) {


   $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_jreviews SET hits=hits+1 WHERE id='$id'");


    }

That statement says if NOT an admin then do the update. The "!" makes it "if not". The else statement you added will make it apply to all cases. Well I'm not sure what the $page variable does, but you should see my point now.

OH! Right you are! I missed that the first time around. Thank you! That worked!
