Excellent!

A question for you: other than maybe a desire to get donations, why are you maintaining your own WordPress plugins page and not throwing your lot in with the official WordPress plugins directory?

I’m an idiot – I forgot it’s a config setting in the plugin code itself.

One more THANK YOU for that delicious plugin!

Thanks a ton for the wonderful plugin, i’ve updated it!

Great plugin! I thought you might be interested in a super easy modification I made to the plugin after I wanted to be able to show the “top posts and pages: today” section from my wordpress.com stats but couldn’t find a good solution.

I just duplicated and modified the show_top_ranked_in_month() function to show the top ranked in the last n days, like so:


function show_top_ranked_in_last_n($limit, $before, $after, $n = 7) {
if(!is_numeric($n)) $n = 7;
$n = intval($n);
global $wpdb;
$temp = $wpdb;

$posts = $wpdb->get_results("
SELECT ID, post_title
FROM $wpdb->posts
LEFT JOIN $wpdb->ak_popularity pop
ON $wpdb->posts.ID = pop.post_id
$join
WHERE post_date > SUBDATE(NOW(), $n)
AND post_date ID).'">'
.$post->post_title.''.$after
);
}
}
else {
print($before.'(none)'.$after);
}
$wpdb = $temp;
}


and added the appropriate public function as well. It turns out to be pretty useful because I can show top ranked today, top ranked in the last week. This function could also be modified to show the top ranked posts in a range, by replacing NOW() in the query with a variable

IMHO, if you’re going to place a link to your site on every post in a person’s blog, it would be cool if you had the common decency to use target=_blank.

Disabled the plugin.

thanks,

@Alex

I don’t agree with json exactly, especially the way they phrased their thought, but it would be nice if the link was rel=external for people who add target=_blank to their rel=external links via JavaScript.

Otherwise, fabulous plugin; it’s very useful. Two updates I’d like to see are:
1. Being able to place the popularity % somewhere rather than defaulting to the bottom of a post. So I can move it somewhere with the rest of my meta data content
2. If it isn’t there already (which I don’t believe it is) I’d love to see it not count hits when a WP logged in user loads the page/archive/listing. Or maybe an option to turn that feature on/off.

Hope they were already on your radar of features we might see soon

I’m also having the same trouble as @Mig above. Our most popular posts look like a hall of fame instead of a dynamic list. I tried adjusting the values under the popularity settings but I don’t really know which ones to adjust. Any suggestions?

Same problem as above. Our most popular are pretty stagnant. I’d love a simple solution, if possible, for have an option of most popular this week, or this month, etc. I see the mod listed above, but don’t know if I can handle that kind of coding.

I’ve been doing some investigation and found the problem. It seems that as my homepage is not the default index.php but a wordpress page, the data in the $posts is the page data and not the posts data.

As a result, in the get_current_posts() functions the line $ids[] = $post->ID was filling the array with the page id.

The solution I found was to retrieve the post id on my template as told in the wp codex, replace the line 1314 with:

global $wpdb, $posts, $do_not_duplicate;

and replace the $ids[] = $post->ID; line with the following code:

if($do_not_duplicate) {
$ids[] = $do_not_duplicate;
} else {
$ids[] = $post->ID;
}
