Sellarsc,

one other option may be to doublecheck your youtube username and make sure it is correct. that could be an issue, I haven’t found any other issues with the code…

Let me know…

Carsuk,

Just posted a new release that should fix the Google+ issue. But I couldn’t locate the problem with Youtube, it appears to be functioning correctly.

I might need to get some additional information to troubleshoot that issue.

Ok I finally figured out what has happened, after hours of tinkering with my curl code I found that google has blocked access to the feedburner stats unless you enable the public API in your Feedburner admin panel.

Here are the instructions, as included with a new release of Social Crowd,

If you wish to use the Feedburner stats you must enable access by logging into your Feedburner admin panel https://feedburner.google.com, selecting the feed you want Social Crowd to access, Click on the “Publicize” tab, Select “Awareness API” from the Sidebar, and then click the “Activate” button. This will allow Social Crowd to correctly acquire your Feedburner stats and display them for you.

Let me know if you have any difficulties or further questions.

Thanks,
Bdoga

Glad you like the plugin.

The G+ issue is caused by some changes that google made, which broke the code that was grabbing the stats. So I am working on a different algorithm to fix it.

The You Tube I’m not sure of, that’s a new one, so I will give it a look and see if I can get a fix for that one as well.

And yes the option to select the stats that are displayed is on the to do list, it just hasn’t made it into a release yet. But it should soon.

I am working on a fix for this, for some reason the CURL request from the plugin is not getting the correct response from feedburner. I am working on a fix… stay tuned.

PardonMyPoppet,

I have made some adjustments to the Linked-In functionality.
Update to the 0.7.1 release and input your full Public Profile URL into the admin field.

Let me know if that solves your problem.

sellarsc,

I just tested the code and it appears that google’s youtube api may have been down, it was not giving me the correct results, but it appears to be back up.

let me know if the issue is still continuing.

Ok,
PardonMyPoppet, I have just released a new version of the Social Crowd Plugin that should address the issue you are having.

Let me know if you have any further issues.

Vennardk,

in the admin options, did you check the checkboxes next to the social networks that you put information in?

The Simple widget displays the social networks that are enabled in the administrator.

The Advanced widget let’s you display specific networks regardless of what is enabled in the administrator

The current design does take up quite a bit of vertical space with the default css, but you can easily change that by crafting your own css rules to reduce vertical space. See the Plugin FAQ for the default CSS.

But point well taken, I do have some plans for alternate designs that are less vertically inclined. And it appears that I should do something to make those checkboxes a little easier to understand…

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Ok, for all those who have posted in this thread, just FYI, the latest versions of the plugin have a widget and shortcode that should make this process much easier for you. let me know if you run into any issues.

The point with Browser Blocker, is to select different browsers that you would like to “block” from viewing your site, and refer them to other browsers that they can upgrade to, so if you select Internet explorer > 0 (greater than version 0) then all versions of Internet explorer would be blocked and asked to upgrade to a different browser.

One way to get around it would be to install the Browser-Blocker plugin. It will allow you to block any version of IE and any version of virtually any browser that is giving you grief, and give your users a nice little splash screen asking them to upgrade their browser experience.

There are two ways to call the function, you can either get a specific count from say Facebook by calling the function in this manner:

SocialCrowd_Stats(‘facebook’);

likewise you could call it in a similar fashion to get the number of Twitter followers:

SocialCrowd_Stats(‘twitter’);

or if you are wanting to get many of the different stats you can also call it and have it retrieve all the stats from all of your enabled social networks and store them in an array so you can access it directly:

$stats = SocialCrowd_Stats();

Then you can access the counts in the $stats array by using the same key name you would have used in the first example:

$stats[“facebook”];

to get facebook fans or

$stats[“twitter”];

for your twitter followers.

The plugin only retrieves the social network counts/statistics in their raw form at this point.

For a full list of Social Statistics that can be gathered/displayed with the plugin please visit the plugins home page.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Also, do you have the Curl PHP module loaded on your server? I just realized that I included that requirement in the Plugin Summary, but not the Readme file.

how are you calling the function? Can you post your inserted code?
