Hi guys, I'd like to add a 'Mark as read' function to my seblod articles so when a user logged in and read an article, it will add a 'read' count/mark to the article for that user. Is that possible to do that?

Any idea or suggestion are welcome. Thanks!

You could add new database table with id, article_id and user_id fields, then on each read use beforeRender event and just inser tnew row with this value into that table.

To show number of reads by user you can then do SELECT COUNT id from your_table WHERE article_id=YOURATICLEID and user_id=USERID
