Unless I'm missing something, the thread doesn't help me. I need something to find out what were the 15 most popular stories of the last 10 days and how many views. I thought the easiest way to do this would be the advanced search because you can specify a date range. But it doesn't allow you the option to have the result come back in order of popularity. I was thinking a hack to have that option would work best. But If I could create a static page or block that could do this function that would work as well...

mix the one above with this thread and you should be on your way to a new block. most popular within a date range

this block gives you the most popular, ordered by hits descending, for the last 30 days. editing the date calculations in the query will, obviously, change your results.
you could call another function from within this one that, perhaps allows you to enter a date range, and then that calculation will be built and inserted into this query. easy as pie.
function phpblock_mostPopularbyDate()
{
global $_TABLES, $_CONF;
$result = DB_query("SELECT sid,title,hits FROM {$_TABLES['stories']}
WHERE (draft_flag = 0) AND (date <= NOW()) AND (date >= (DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)))"
. COM_getPermSQL ('AND') . " ORDER BY hits desc");
$nrows = DB_numRows($result);
if( $nrows > 0 ){
$string = '';
$popular = array();
for( $i = 0; $i < $nrows; $i++ ){
$A = DB_fetchArray( $result );
$string .= $poplist . '<br>';
$popular[] = '<a href="' . COM_buildUrl( $_CONF['site_url']
. '/article.php?story=' . $A['sid'] ) . '">' . $A['title']
. '</a> (' . $A['hits'] . ')';
}
if( !empty( $popular )){
$poplist = COM_makeList( $popular, 'list-popular-stories' );
}
}
return $poplist;
}

Great block, Mach, especially for good SERP's. But I how can I limit it to show max 5 or 10 stories, and change the URL's to:
www.mydomain.com/topic ID/article.php/story ID ??

to limit the query, just change this bit of the query,
You should be able to have that URL the way you've specified if you turn on URL rewrite in your config.php. This function uses COM_buildURL(), which is the wrapper for the rewrite engine, afaics. But don't quote me cuz I've never actually used it.

Great, thanks, but did you have a good look at the URL I mentioned, I'm using URL-Rewrite to put the stories in the topic directories:
URL/topic ID/article.php/story ID
Like on this website.

OK, so the difference being the topic ID, right?
so let's just forget rewrite and do it manually like you wanted in the first place I think.
try this version, which includes the topic ID in the query as well as the URL redefined:
function phpblock_mostPopularbyDate()
{
global $_TABLES, $_CONF;
$result = DB_query("SELECT sid,tid,title,hits FROM {$_TABLES['stories']}
WHERE (draft_flag = 0) AND (date <= NOW()) AND (date >= (DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)))"
. COM_getPermSQL ('AND') . " ORDER BY hits desc LIMIT 5");
$nrows = DB_numRows($result);
if( $nrows > 0 ){
$string = '';
$popular = array();
for( $i = 0; $i < $nrows; $i++ ){
$A = DB_fetchArray( $result );
$string .= $poplist . '<br>';
$popular[] = '<a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/'
. $A['tid'] . '/article.php/' . $A['sid'] . '">' . $A['title']
. '</a> (' . $A['hits'] . ')';
}
if( !empty( $popular )){
$poplist = COM_makeList( $popular, 'list-popular-stories' );
}
}
return $poplist;
}
