Drupal 7: Do not count visits of bots or spammers

If you use the statistics module (in core in Drupal 7) to show how many times an article was read, there are two problems with that number

  1. also bots and spammers are count
  2. if you reload the page (e.g. with F5) the number is incremented

SOLUTION TO 1.

Browse to 

MYWEBISTE.com/admin/config/system/statistics

If you have a simple side, where you don't want everybody to be able to register, especially not bots, you can only grant the administrator the rights to create new users.

www.MYWEBSITE/admin/config/people/accounts

and set

Who can register accounts?

Drupal - include code highlighting tools (google prettify) with CKEditor

This post explaines how to get highlighted code in Drupal 7 like:

for i = 1:3
   j = i;
end

For me the combination of CKEditor and the code highlighting tool Geshi did not work.

Hence I tried the combination of the module [[https://www.drupal.org/project/prettify | google code prettify]] (which is used by stackoverflow.com) and CKEditor.

Prerequisite

CKEditor must be installed. See other post for that.

Getting it to run
