  • nice thanks

    Hi Héctor,
    your plugin is great, but it would be really usefull to get an array of popular posts that I can succesively style as I want. Ideally, one should be able to access all the post informations, for exemple authors, excerpt, categories, etc.
    Hope you’ll rrealese a new version soon!
    again thank you very much for your help

    Hi guys,

    Tried to add that feature but unfortunately ran into unexpected issues so it won’t be added anytime soon. For the time being, the Custom HTML Markup functionality will be your only way to customize the HTML output until I can come up with a different solution.

    Hola Héctor,
    thank you very much for the update, I appreciate and I understand you can’t do everything.
    In any case I hope you’ll implement this feature one day, it would made your plugin much more flexible. For example it would be possible to filter the current language to display the popular posts with wpml.
    By the way, wpml it’s much more stable than a couple of years ago. If in your plugin you use wp api instead of low level database queries, the result will be automatically filtered by wpml. So, another feature I’d love to see implemented.
    Sure, it’s just an idea, some food for thoughts for a possible TO DO list.
    Again thank you very much for your great work!
    cheers

    Hi fabusdr,

    A long time ago I added support for WPML so my plugin would retrieve the translation properly. However, I assume it isn’t working because otherwise you wouldn’t have suggested that ^^ I promise to take another look at WPML and see what I can do.

    About the other feature, that is something I want to achieve since it’d be a lot easier for end user to do whatever they want with the results returned by the function. So, that’ll stay in the TODO list, too.

    Thanks for commenting!

    Great, thank you so much!
    Yes, popular posts shows every language instead of the current language as it should. I’ve read all the old posts you wrote on wp support and wpml forum, and this is way I started this slightly off topic conversation, sorry for that.
    If you need any helps testing wpml with your plugin please let me know and I’ll do my best. I’m not a good programmer but I’m sure I can help. Also, the guys behind wpml are very friendly and usually helps people who wants to make plugins compatibles with wpml. If you contact them I’m sure they’ll help.
    Again, thank you very much for your great work and for those 2 features in your todo list.
    cheers
    fab
