Version 0.42.4 of wpmu-topposts plugin now available…
Lots of changes:
- Added support for top_blogs(), same calling convention as top_posts() but returns
top blogs based on total hits to the blog for all posts on the blog. - Added a couple new arguments to top_posts() include a new max_per_blog which if set
to 1 will limit the posts to 1 per blog. - Added days_back argument which will limit the stats to a certain number of days
into the past. - Added many new formatting arguments to make it easyer to use the get_*_html functions
and get the formating you want. - Fixed a couple bugs that would cause cache corruption (removed a call to
update_post_caches() which was definitley corrupting the post cache) - Also correctly call switch_to_blog() in the get_*_html functions so that the
blog template tags actually work properly.
Definitely my favorite new feature is the max_per_blog since it uses cool nested queries in SQL. yummy!
Here are some usage examples:
This will give you top posts in an ORDERED list, with hits included surrounded by square brackets.
zap_top_posts_html('before_list=<ol>& after_list=</ol>&max_per_blog=-1& before_hits=[&after_hits=]');
This will give you top blogs in an UNORDERED list, without hits included.
zap_get_top_blogs_html('include_hits=0');
As always, get the latest code here…
how do you increase the number of top post to be viewed can’t seem find where to edit it.

The *top_posts*() functions support a “numerposts” parameter, and the *top_blogs*() functions support the “numberblogs” parameter.
These parameters control the number of posts of blogs returned.

Installed you plugin seems to be working listing 4 posts. however I get this error on screen #
WordPress database error: [Table ‘psych_mysoberlife.wp_10_posts’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT *,’3′ AS ‘post_hits’,’10’ AS ‘blog_id’ FROM wp_10_posts WHERE ID = 1
Is that cause my system does not have 10 posts? Sorry for the newbie question but thats what I am;-)

Matt,
No, that error means that it’s trying to read the posts from a blog #10 that appears to no longer be available. Did you perhaps have a blog that you deleted? Maybe while you were testing?
I can imagine this error happening in that case.
I am going to release a new version of the top posts plugin soon that has a bunch of new features… including recent posts, recent comments, caching, and best of all it’s widgetize…
I will fix this bug in this release.
So you can wait a couple days and get the new release… OR if you want to work around the problem and you indeed did delete a blog like I suspect… then you could do the following SQL comment to clean up your table…
DELETE FROM wp_blogs_zap_hits WHERE blog_id = 10;
That will delete all the rows from your hits table that reference blog 10.

“Unique hits” would also be a great feature for the next version…
I found a simple unique hits counter solution here: http://marek.litomisky.com/2006/11/26/php-simple-unique-its-counter-re-vamp/
,but had little luck implementing it to your plugin.

Henry,
That’s a great idea… I may add that in the future.. but I don’t think I’ll get it into this release. I am behind schedule and will be very busy this weekend trying to get a new release of my main site out.
I’ll add this idea to the feature list.

Zappo,
Went in and DELETE FROM wp_blogs_zap_hits WHERE blog_id = 10;
I think i did it right deleted blog id=10 from the blog id list. Didn’t fix the problem. Guess I’ll have to wait till the update comes out.

Thank you for good job. It’s realy great plugin.
And I have two questions:
1. How to exclude main blog from top_blogs?
2. How to exclude hits, when surfer visit from rating list (now if I click to link at top_posts or top_blogs it take +1 hit)?
Comment by mvkozyrev — January 5, 2008 @ 10:07 pm
Ok. First question is down 🙂
245. if (
246. is_admin() ||
247. is_404() ||
248. is_preview() ||
249. strstr($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) ||
250. //Check is not main blog (also we can exclude blogs by id)
251. $blog_id == 0 || $blog_id == 1
252. //Checked
253. )

How to place Avatar on wpmu-topposts plugin ?
….I used Avatars plugin’s Andrew (http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/Avatars)

Hey there zappo buddy. 🙂
this still work good?
Also, out of respect for the CC license, using it on a client’s site would totally fall under commercial use, yes? 😀
I’m trying to think if I have any unreleased goodies to trade… but if it does what I want, I’d like permission to use.
