Latest wpmu-topposts plugin

Filed under: development, sql, Wordpress plugins, WordpressMU — zappoman @ 10:14 am

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');
