Great plugin. Wonderful work. Will gladly donate to the cause, but also had a question. What’s the best way to style the Popularity link? I know it’s not in settings, so assume I need to do it on a template-by-template level?

Thanks again!

I’m running 2.8.2 on a site, and the reset comments/pingbacks count just loads a solid white screen and doesn’t recount them. Any idea if this is a bug, or something on my end? Thanks!

This version is the best known released version.

You may also want to try the current version in SVN.

Here’s how you can make the Popularity Values updating work:

In my case, the corresponding fields in the ak_popularity_options mysql table were missing. I had to add them manually. If you have the same problem, you can use the following sql:

INSERT INTO `your_prefix_ak_popularity_options` (`option_name`, `option_value`) VALUES
(‘searcher_value’, ’2′),
(‘single_value’, ’10′),
(‘home_value’, ’2′),
(‘archive_value’, ’4′),
(‘category_value’, ’6′),
(‘tag_value’, ’7′),
(‘feed_value’, ’1′),
(‘comment_value’, ’20′),
(‘pingback_value’, ’50′),
(‘trackback_value’, ’80′);

After that you can change the Popularity Values from the plugin options page.

When is the next update being released for the plugin?

Is it b3 or RC1 or the final release?

I haven’t upgraded to this version after reading all the errors reported in the comments above.

Oh, and the search engine domains field on the options page doesn’t seem to accept more than 50 characters which is too little.

Nice update! I have one problem, though:

I cannot change the Popularity Values on the options page. They go back to their default values when I submit the form.

Is there a bug with the percentage display next to the post title?

I set it to no in the settings for PC, but it still appears in the list of popular posts in the widget?

I can remove it from the code, but would like to first see if there is a bug, and if it has been fixed.

Thanks

Or just grab the fixed version from SVN:

To fix the stdClass error when trying to Reset Comments/Pingbacks/Trackbacks, change line 772:

$this->populate_post_data($post_id);

to:
$this->populate_post_data($post_id->ID);

That changes it to access the actual ID variable inside the stdClass object. As far as I can tell, it works like it’s supposed to with this fix.

Thanks for the reports. I’ve reproduced this and will have it fixed shortly.

I also get the error with reset trackback counts. Otherwise, this is a nice plugin!

I got the following error when hitting “reset trackback counts”.

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home4/kingratb/public_html/reading/wp-content/plugins/popularity-contest/popularity-contest.php on line 539
