Counter for entries to show most read Articles

Question

How can I add a counter or something similar to my entries, so that I could loop through the most read articles?

There is a counter plugin that is designed to do exactly this, which is currently in private beta written by Ben Croker. Perhaps if you contact the developer, he might let you participate in the beta. — Douglas McDonald, Oct 08 '14 at 16:01

Note that this has been replaced by Entry Count. – Katrin Jul 21 '15 at 16:35

The Entry Count plugin will do this for you (previously the Counter plugin).

You can loop through the most read articles as follows:

{% set countedEntries = craft.entryCount.entries %}

{% for entry in countedEntries %}
    {% set count = craft.entryCount.count(entry.id) %}
    {{ entry.title }} ({{ count }} views)
{% endfor %}
