New plugin: View Counter

Adds a gallery entry for View Counter (generic, product viewcounter).

  • What it does: shows each article's abstract views and downloads (sum of galleys),
    discreetly next to the title on the summary lists and on the article landing page;
    configurable per journal. On OJS 3.5 the counts are computed via the statistics service
    with safe fallbacks.
  • Repository: https://github.com/OJSBR/viewcounter (GPL-3.0)
  • Maintainer: OJSBR (STNT Tecnologia da Informação LTDA)
  • Releases in this entry (public GitHub release tarballs, md5 verified):
    • 1.2.0.0 → OJS 3.5.0.0 / 3.5.0.1
    • 1.1.0.0 → OJS 3.4.0.0–3.4.0.9

Provenance / credit

The plugin was rewritten and is maintained by OJSBR, based on an original OJS 3.3
access/downloads counter by STI-FFLCH/USP and ABCD/USP. That origin is credited in
the entry description. We couldn't find an actively maintained upstream repository for the
original, and OJSBR now maintains it under GPL-3.0.

Notes

  • plugins.xml validated against plugins.xsd (xmllint --schema).
  • No <certification> was set — happy for the reviewers to assign the appropriate one.
  • Entry appended at the end of plugins.xml; glad to reorder if you prefer a specific spot.

Adds an entry for the View Counter plugin, which shows each article's abstract
views and downloads on summary lists and the article page. Maintained by OJSBR;
rewritten from an original OJS 3.3 access/downloads counter by STI-FFLCH/USP and
ABCD/USP (credited in the description). Validated against plugins.xsd.
