Using the Counter (Pro)
The counter uses Entry Views from Justin Tadlock.
The script considers the loading of the coupon’s Print Template as a view and increases the counter then. It has been modified to not increase on a page reload or if a common search engine bot visits the print template.
The counter does not use cookies or php sessions for tracking so opening the Print Template of a coupon in three (3) different tabs increases the counter by 3. Opening the Print Template of a coupon in one tab and reloading it 3 times only increases the counter once.
