W-Popularity version 0.9.3

That did the trick!

Thank you, thank you, thank you…

I cannot activate this plugin using WP 2.5.1, I get this error when attempting activation
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

any ideas?

It should not happen, if you did download W-Popularity in version 0.9.3 and not 0.9.2 .

If you sure that you’ve done everything correct, maybe some conflicts to other plugins are present on your Wordpress?
Maybe you did forgot to shut down other popularity plug-in? Maybe it’s some exotic one… No other ideas so far. Maybe you have some error log?

I too get the same error as Famously Unknown.

I’ve previously attempted to activate Popularity Contest, but it’s not currently running.

Any ideas?

Thanks for sharing this latest version of W-Popularity, I’ll try to download this plug-in soon.

@Dan.
Hmmm to my eyes this should not be a problem… if a popularity contest was deactivated before.

But if you could tell me a version of Popularity Contest and your Wordpress, I could spend some time to investigate that constellation.

Hi, I’m running Wordpress 2.5.1, and wPopularity 0.9.3. Popularity Contest was 1.3b3.

I’ll have a root around myself when I get the chance.

Hi Dan, you can include so called template functions of the Plug-In in your Wordpress template.
Here are some self explanatory examples.

akpc_the_popularity();
akpc_most_popular();
akpc_most_popular_in_cat();
akpc_most_popular_in_month();

By the way, these are taken unchanged from the original Plugin (Popularity Contest by Alex King)

Hi shuron, thanks for this posting. Work fine.

Hi dude…
Long time no see… How u doin?

Thanx for this plugin!!! I need it.. Seems like my blogwalking earn me something cool.. lol..

Well, I’ve added you on my link list. Hope u wouldn’t mind adding me too…

Thx dude!!
cya!

hi,

i downloaded and installed your plug-in and wasn’t able to activate it. it was searching for tables which did not exist. after messing around with the php-file i managed to get it running.

i changed line 1626 to this:
if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == ‘activate’) {

in 0.9.3 the variable “activate” was checked whether it is true or not.

hope this helps. thank you for your great work!

kind regards,

michael

Thank you for comment. This may indeed lead to problems on some PHP configurations.

I’ll will rewrite the activation routine in the next version, because there are new concepts designated for that in WP since version 2.5.

Thanks.

I guess the line 1570


function widget_wpopular_control() {
$options = $newoptions = get_option('widget_wpopular');


widget_wpopular should be widget_wpopular1

I received the following error when trying to activate the plugin:

Table ‘furnitur_wrdp1.wp_ak_popularity_options’ doesn’t exist on line: 116

You wouldn’t by any chance have any ideas on what might be causing something like that, would you?

Nevermind. I fixed it. I needed to add a database query. Thanks anyway.

Hi, I love this plugin, however can I check how can I have more than one instance of the “Most Popular” widget, as I have 2 dynamic sidebar, one as postsidebar, the other mainsidebar.

Is it also possible to call up the most popular post in a non-widget area? You can take a look at the footer of http://neowster.com.

Any reply is greatly appreciated.

Hi Shuron, thanks for these great Plugin. Can you tell me how to use akpc_most_popular_in_YEAR(). When i use these function in my themplate i get an error message. Thanks
