Page View Statistics

Artalk integrates built-in page view and comment count statistics, allowing you to display the page's view count and comment count within the page.

html
Views: <span class="artalk-pv-count"></span>
Comments: <span class="artalk-comment-count"></span>

Loading Placeholder

Artalk requires some time to load. You can add a placeholder within the elements displaying the statistics:

html
<span class="artalk-pv-count">Loading...</span>

Loading Statistics for Multiple Pages Simultaneously

For instance, on an article list page, you can display the view count and comment count for each article.

When on the article list page, simply call the Artalk.loadCountWidget function without Artalk.init (loading the comment list will increment the page view count by 1).

js
Artalk.loadCountWidget({
  server: 'server address',
  site: 'site name',
  pvEl: '.artalk-pv-count',
  countEl: '.artalk-comment-count',
  statPageKeyAttr: 'data-page-key',
})

Then place multiple elements with the class artalk-pv-count, using the attribute data-page-key to specify the page to query:

html
<span class="artalk-pv-count" data-page-key="/test/1.html"></span>
<span class="artalk-pv-count" data-page-key="/test/2.html"></span>
<span class="artalk-pv-count" data-page-key="/test/3.html"></span>

The same applies for comment count queries:

html
<span class="artalk-comment-count" data-page-key="/test/1.html"></span>
<span class="artalk-comment-count" data-page-key="/test/2.html"></span>
<span class="artalk-comment-count" data-page-key="/test/3.html"></span>

Custom Element Selectors

You can specify element selectors for displaying page views and comment counts through the pvEl and countEl configuration options:

js
Artalk.init({
  pvEl: '.your_pv_count_element',  // Selector for page view elements
  countEl: '.your_comment_count_element',  // Selector for comment count elements
})

Custom data-page-key Attribute Name

The default value for the statPageKeyAttr configuration option is data-page-key. Artalk uses this attribute name to query the specified page. To facilitate adaptation with blog themes, you can customize the attribute name, for example, replacing it with data-path:

js
Artalk.loadCountWidget({
  statPageKeyAttr: 'data-path',
})

In this case, the corresponding HTML code should be as follows:

html
<span class="artalk-pv-count" data-path="/test/1.html"></span>

Thus, the value of the data-path attribute will be used to query the specified page.
