How do the jrCharts work?
I remember in JR4 the charts changed based on movement in the last 7,30 or 360 days.The chart movement was noticeable everyday.
I imported all the JR4 data to my JR5 site.In my JR5 site,the changes are hardly seen.The strange thing is that the tracks with no chart change are listed top and the tracks showing hot are at the very end of the chart.
See page 1 and any of the last pages in the charts.

I would like to understand how JR5 Charts work.

Thanks...My charts seem to rank items according to play count and not movement as was the case in JR4.I looked at article before.It mentions that we must add the following to see how the charts are working:

chart_count: {$item.chart_count}
chart_position: {$item.chart_position}
chart_new_entry: {$item.chart_new_entry}
chart_change: {$item.chart_change}
chart_direction: {$item.chart_direction}

{$item.chart_new_entry} and {$item.chart_count} are not included in the chart_row.tpl(Nova Skin).Are these required in the template code?

I'm not seeing an issue and those variables are being used in the Nova skins song_chart_row.tpl file.

The charts are based on song plays, you can change that if you like by modifying the song_charts.tpl file and changing the chart_field parameter in the jrCore_list function.

Hope this helps,
Douglas
