Module that lists popular blog posts from a given topic

[tjford]

Hello,

I'd like to make a custom module that lists the 3 most popular blog posts from a given topic. Has anyone done something similar or know how?

Thanks!

Is there any function like blog_post_archive_url to get the URL of popular post listing page or is there any way to create a .absolute_url function for popular post listing page.

Hi @tjford,

Please try this below code,

{% set pop_posts = blog_popular_topic_posts('Your_Blog_ID', 'Your_Topic', 5) %}
{% for pop_post in pop_posts %}
<div class="post-title">{{ pop_post.name }}</div>
{% endfor %}

Thanks @JagadishINB - with a little bit of tweaking - I was able to get it to work with this:

{% set posts = blog_popular_posts ('default', 5) %}
{% for post in posts %}
{% if 'your topic' in post.topic_list|map('name') %}
<h3><a href="{{ post.absolute_url }}">{{ post.name }}</a></h3>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Cheers!
