And maybe another question : i am using the add theme support function. Is it possibile to display the thumbnail of the post ? %thumbnail_url% should have which value in this case ? Thansk a lot, & carry on your good work. Wanting this plugin to replace apkc popularity form alex.

I have gone through all the comments. I do not have lots of experience in php. Is it possible to tweak this code to pull an image attached with defined custom field value?

$images =& get_children(‘post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image&order=ASC&post_parent=’.$post->post_id);
$img = wp_get_attachment_image_src(array_shift(array_keys($images, ‘biggerimage’)));
$img_url = $img[0];

get_counts(array(
‘enable_categories’ =>true,
‘categories’ => “‘Landscape’”,
‘limit’ => 5,
‘post_type’ => RecentlyPopularPostType::POSTS,
‘user_type’ => RecentlyPopularUserType::ANONYMOUS,
‘interval_length’ => 3,
‘interval_type’ => ‘WEEK’,
));

Basically all it’s doing is taking what you have in the string and using it as a “where in” clause.

I also tried your function in body – how are we supposed to filter by category names? I have tried putting category name, slug, id with and without quotes but it’s not filtering it properly.

Could you please tell me how to apply category filter properly?

get_counts(array(
‘enable_categories’ =>true,
‘categories’ => ‘Landscape’,
‘limit’ => 5,
‘post_type’ => RecentlyPopularPostType::POSTS,
‘user_type’ => RecentlyPopularUserType::ANONYMOUS,
‘interval_length’ => 3,
‘interval_type’ => ‘WEEK’,
));
?>

I have been trying to use your plugin code in theme pages. Because I do not want to use for listing posts, instead I am trying to list them in a layout which I like.

I have read your comments above in trying to help Kegan. Is there any way i can use your SQL query directly into the code?

I have tried this approach with many plugins and was successful. But your SQL query is bit different. If you can please help me modifying it it would be great.

I am trying to apply your code on different content styles in my theme pages. I am trying to retrieve data and then pass it on to a Loop which will layout data the way I want:

This is the query which I have come up after some changes and need your help here. I’m trying to list most read 5 articles from category “4309″ in last two hours?

$sql=”SELECT
`rp`.`hits` AS `hits`,
`rp`.`postid` AS `post_id`,
`p`.`post_title` AS `post_title`,
`p`.`post_excerpt` AS `post_excerpt`,
`p`.`post_date` AS `post_date`,
`p`.`post_type` AS `post_type`,
`u`.`display_name` AS `display_name`,
`u`.`user_url` AS `user_url`,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT `t`.`name` ORDER BY `t`.`name` SEPARATOR ‘, ‘) AS `category`
FROM ( SELECT
COUNT(`post_id`) AS `hits`,
MIN(`ts`) AS `ts`,
MIN(`user_type`) AS `user_type`,
MIN(`post_id`) AS `postid`
FROM `wp_recently_popular`
WHERE `ts` > (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() – INTERVAL 2 HOUR)
GROUP BY `post_id`
ORDER BY `hits` DESC
) AS `rp`
LEFT JOIN `wp_posts` AS `p` ON `rp`.`postid` = `p`.`ID`
LEFT JOIN `wp_users` AS `u` ON `p`.`post_author` = `u`.`ID`
LEFT JOIN `wp_term_relationships` AS `tr` ON `p`.`ID` = `tr`.`object_id`
LEFT JOIN `wp_term_taxonomy` AS `tt` ON `tr`.`term_taxonomy_id` = `tt`.`term_taxonomy_id`
LEFT JOIN `wp_terms` AS `t` ON `tt`.`term_id` = `t`.`term_id`
WHERE 1
AND `rp`.`user_type` = ’0′
AND `p`.`post_type` = ‘post’
AND `tt`.`taxonomy` = ‘category’
AND `t`.`name` IN (’4309′)
AND `rp`.`postid` = ”
GROUP BY `rp`.`postid`
ORDER BY `rp`.`hits` DESC, `rp`.`ts` DESC
LIMIT 5″;

Do you think your query can be modified and can be directly used inside the code?

Love your plugin. How can I choose/modify your code to pick or generate smaller thumbnails? eg: 40×40 or 48×48

Thanks
