Hardcoding Firestats Popular Posts into sidebar.php

  • Hi there, I love Firestats, so now I’m trying to hard code them into my themes.

    I could get the Widget Popular Posts working very easily, but the PHP code is giving me a lot more trouble.

    Could someone give me a sample PHP code for retrieving the 5 most popular posts? I’ve tried doing this with PHP and monumentally failed – I happen to be really bad with PHP.

    I’d be very grateful for any help on this!!

    No-one has sample code where they’ve done this with Firestats..?

    The very friendly and helpful Omry gave me a hand with this. Here is the result :

    <?php if ( function_exists('fs_get_firestats_path') )
{
        echo '<li>';
        echo '<h2>5 Most Popular Posts</h2>';

        $FS_PATH = fs_get_firestats_path();
        require_once($FS_PATH.'/php/html-utils.php');
        $days_ago = 30;
        $num_to_show = '5';
        $generator =  create_function('',"return fs_get_popular_pages_tree($num_to_show, $days_ago, FS_URL_TYPE_POST,false, n
ull);");
        echo fs_get_cached_data('cached_firestats_popular_pages', $generator, 3600);
}
?>
