That’s perfect Camu, thank you – it all works great now.

And you already have a 5-star review!

v2.9 hasn’t resolved my issue – it still only shows total pageviews since 1st Jan. I’ll have to roll back to 2.8.3 I think.

Just to note that this doesn’t just affect Shortcodes – I’m not actually using shortcodes. I use the following PHP to display the total visitors, and it’s now only displaying the total visitors since 1st Jan 2013 instead of all time:

require_once(WP_PLUGIN_DIR.’/wp-slimstat/admin/view/wp-slimstat-db.php’);

// Initialize the API. You can pass a filter in the options, i.e. show only hits by people who where using Firefox, any version
wp_slimstat_db::init();

// Use the appropriate method to display your stats
$old_bbclone_visitors = 0;
$totalvisits = wp_slimstat_db::count_records(‘1=1’, ‘*’, false) + $old_bbclone_visitors;
echo $totalvisits;

I’ve just installed WP Slimstat 2.8.7 and it hasn’t resolved the problem ??

I’ve done some investigating with old versions. The problem starts with version 2.8.4. If I install 2.8.3 then the counter shows all hits as intended.

I’m also getting this issue but only since I upgraded to 2.8.6 of WP Slimstat. If I use 2.8.1 then it returns the total count for all time, after upgrading, it only returns the count since Jan 1, 2013.

Hi Kurt,

It isn’t possible as far as I’m aware in the current implementation, but I will certainly look in to it for you.

Just to let you know, I’ve now (as of v2.42) added a PayPal Donate Button option to the Widget administration panel. It should be an easy way to quickly add a donate button to your Olimometer widget.

Awesome, all working now thanks!

marking as resolved

At the moment, offline donations has been implemented in a very simple way. Offline donations are only enabled when using PayPal integration because TOTAL (current amount raised) = PAYPAL BALANCE + OFFLINE DONATIONS. It’s that simple, you type in the total amount you have raised offline in to the offline donations box, and it adds it to your PayPal balance.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use PayPal, you just type in your offline donation balance in to the Current Amount Raised box. I hope to make it a bit more complex in the future, allowing you to track individual donations, but at the moment that would require quite a bit of work so have put it on the backburner for now.

Okay, done! I’ve added a few more too including SI notation. See v2.33

Keep your eyes peeled for v2.32. There’s a new option on the settings page labelled Number Format.

Currently there are 4 formats to choose from, giving you all combinations of 2dp and a comma for thousands delimiting. If you need any other formats then let me know and I’ll add them to the drop-down box.

A PayPal donate button is completely separate to the Olimometer – the only link is that they might reference the same PayPal account. Each Olimometer can track the progress of a different PayPal account if required.

To create a PayPal donate button, log in to the relevant PayPal account and follow the instructions here:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_donate-intro-outside

You can then paste your donate button HTML code in to the Widget’s header or footer as I do on my personal blog. To do this, go to Appearance->Widgets in WordPress, drag an Olimometer widget to your sidebar, choose the Olimometer you wish to display, and paste the code in to header or footer fields.

If you aren’t using Widgets, then you’ll need to paste your button’s HTML code in to the WordPress HTML editor near the Olimometer shortcode as required.

If you wish to use multiple PayPal donate buttons directed to a single account but track them on separate Olimometers then this is currently not possible – you’ll need one PayPal account for each total you wish to track.

Okay, I’ve figured it out and will work it in to the next release (but not the one that was released today, sorry!).

I’ll look in to it for you

Oli
