Most Popular Article Module

0
I guess I could write it myself but do you have a module which simply shows the most popular article (for the home page)?

    Actually I use that one already and it shows me the most popular article(s) by name. What I want is a module to show the top article (single) content in a "Top Article" position.

    I have embarked on making a version of that module you mentioned to do this

    I merely require the content of the most popular article in specified time period. No name no other data. How?

    I would go this way:
    modify the plugin query so it retrieves article content, too.
    modify the module layout so, in case it's an article, shows it content.
    set the limit to 1

    Thats kind've what I was doing. I have to duplicate and rename the module because I am already using it with a custom template. Do you want it back when I have it working?
