Post meta

Hola @vicetias!

Hablo espa?ol pero por las reglas del foro debemos utilizar el inglés ??

Yes, it’s possible to modify that code to use WPP’s views data instead. I’ll help you out once I get back from work (it’s 7 am here, so that’ll be in a few hours.)

Alright, as promised here’s the updated code:

if ( !function_exists( 'getCrunchifyPostViews' ) ) {
    function getCrunchifyPostViews( $postID ){

        // Views meta key
        $count_key = 'post_views_count';

        // Get post meta
        $count = get_post_meta( $postID, $count_key, true );

        // Views meta not found, this post 
        // doesn't have any registered views yet
        if ( '' == $count ) {
            $count = 0;
        }

        return ( 1 == $count ) ? '1 view' : $count . 'views';

    }
}

if ( !function_exists( 'setCrunchifyPostViews' ) ) {
    function setCrunchifyPostViews( $postID ) {

        // Get views count
        $count = wpp_get_views( $postID );

        // Views meta key
        $count_key = 'post_views_count';

        // Save / update post meta
        update_post_meta( $postID, $count_key, $count );

    }
}

I’ve simplified it a bit too and it’ll still work as intended.

Ok ok, thank you so much!! (pero odio un poco el inglés y no sé mucho hablarlo, así trataré de escribir en spanglish jaja)

Sabes, no dio error el código, pero se quedan atascadas algunas y no cuenta las nuevas visitas, creo que se demora más de la cuenta porque comparo las estadísticas del plugin con post_views_count y siempre está por debajo :/

Unfortunately forum rules state we should communicate in english, so let’s try to do our best ??

… se quedan atascadas algunas y no cuenta las nuevas visitas …

Are you using a caching plugin by any chance?

My bad sorry, just checked again and it take a bit to update but the views are now synchronized! Thanks!

And now, popular widget of my theme has the “freshness” filter you have on your plugin but if is possible, I need to add the default range too (no matter the date a post was published, you know).

If you can help me with this, I’ll be totally grateful.

This is the code:

<?php
/**

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'mvp_pop_load_widgets' );

}

class mvp_pop_widget extends WP_Widget {

	/**
	 * Widget setup.
	 */
	function mvp_pop_widget() {
		/* Widget settings. */
		$widget_ops = array( 'classname' => 'mvp_pop_widget', 'description' => esc_html__('A widget that displays a list of popular posts within a time period of your choice.', 'click-mag') );

		/* Widget control settings. */
		$control_ops = array( 'width' => 250, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'mvp_pop_widget' );

		/* Create the widget. */
		$this->__construct( 'mvp_pop_widget', esc_html__('Click Mag: Popular Posts Widget', 'click-mag'), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
	}

And now, popular widget of my theme has the “freshness” filter you have on your plugin but if is possible, I need to add the default range too (no matter the date a post was published, you know).

I’m not sure I understood what you meant with this. What are you trying to do?

Trying to modify that widget with the range data from your plugin (post-views-count is already with it) in especially this:

<?php $popular_days_ago = "$popular_days days ago"; $recent = new WP_Query(array( 'posts_per_page' => $number, 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'order' => 'DESC', 'meta_key' => 'post_views_count', 'date_query' => array( array( 'after' => $popular_days_ago )) )); while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); ?>

It’s like the freshness of your plugin but I need the default way (time range)

Ok, intentemos en espa?ol porque aún no estoy seguro de qué es lo que quieres hacer ??

(For those who can’t speak spanish, I just asked the OP to explain things in spanish because I’m not following what’s he’s trying to achieve.)

Ok, así puedo explicarte mejor!

Mira, lo que trato de decir es que quiero crear otro widget o modificar el que ya tiene mi tema. El código que te dejé más arriba es como el rango de tiempo “freshness” (en el que puedo elegir cualquier número de días para mostrar los posts populares) de tu plugin pero con otro código me imagino, entonces lo que necesito es a?adir la forma normal de tiempo de WPP, el que muestra por defecto los posts más populares sin importar la fecha en que fueron publicados!

Estas dos opciones que incluye tu plugin necesito a?adir al archivo php.

No sé si funcione pero sé de algunos templates como bimber que incorporaron totalmente el plugin pero con nuevos archivos de widget, funciones, pero eso es muy complicado para mí, yo sólo necesito a?adirle la data de los rangos de tiempo del plugin.

Lo de la función que te pedí está perfecta, está integrada y ahora cuenta las visitas desde tu plugin, por lo que post_views_count es vital para mi tema. Ahora solo me falta lo otro que espero hayas entendido. Gracias.

Got it now, thanks ??

To answer your question: porting WPP’s Time Range feature to another plugin / widget is possible (everything’s possible with the right mind and time), but it’s also represents a lot of work. So I have a question for you now: why reinvent the wheel? Why not just use the WPP widget (or any other widget out there) and save yourself some time? You probably have a very good reason to be doing all this, I’m just curious about it.

Bueno, pensándolo bien usaré ambos widgets por separado, en realidad es bastante complicado lo que quiero. Y respondiendo a tu pregunta era solamente para integrar completamente el plugin al template, pero lo que más quería era modificar la función de las visitas y ya está logrado gracias a tu ayuda.

And now in english lol, thank you so much and keep it up this amazing plugin, it’s the best!

Well, WPP can be fully integrated into any theme ?? (and for anyone reading this, here’s how.)

Anyways, thank you for the kind words. I’m glad to know you like WPP ??

Acabo de percatarme de un problema con el contador. Tu plugin le pone un punto a los números cuando son miles, millones… y para que funcione esa meta key tiene que ser sin punto, por ejemplo: 1.015 debe ser 1015.

?Qué código debería a?adirle para quitarle los “.” a cada número?

Ah, you’re right. Fortunately that’s an easy one to fix:

Find:

$count = wpp_get_views( $postID );

Replace with:

$count = wpp_get_views( $postID, 'all', false );

Here’s the documentation, if you’re feeling curious: wpp_get_views().

I forgot to check that, now the number is ok, thank you!
