UPDATE: This plugin can be public by making it a page http://laaatech.com/yourls-page-popular-links
The YOURLS plugin, originally posted here, I have updated to be compatible for YOURLS 1.7.
The plugin shows and admin page of the most popular links created in 1,30,365, and 1000 days on a YOURLS site
Download here, save as plugin.php and upload to YOURLS_DIRECTORY/user/plugins/popular-links
IMPORTANT: Make sure to remove/overwrite the old version of Popular Links if you have it on your server.

Advanced:
At the bottom of the plugin, you can edit the values
> show_top(1000,5);
1000 means the number of days you are selecting from the database
5 means the number of links you are selecting.
