Objective:
To display number of hits or views of any article at article page even when Blog Category Layout is selected in your Joomla settings…
Problem:
Currently in Joomla 1.5.X we can only show number of hits or number of views for any article when category view is selected as default (list view) in Menu. Many of my clients wanted to show number of views a page has been viewed even when Blog Category Layout is selected, I searched for any module or option but found no solutions.
Solution:
When I was not able to found the solution to this in Joomla Forum, extentions and documentation, i decdied to write my own code to solve this problem. Also i decided to share what i have written to great Joomla Community, so the result was “Hits AnyWhere Module”.
Hits AnyWhere Module:
This is very simple module which check at what page you are, gets the id of the present article/item and from the database it fetch the value of HITS, i.e. Number of times this article/page has been accessed/viewed.

That is it!
