Title: Total Posts v2.0
Creator: Bram "Tenshi" Nijmeijer
E-mail: bram@nijmeijer.org
Website: http://www.bramn.com
Addition, suggestions & fixes: djm, hansfn and everyone else on the Pivot Forums!
Creation date: June 1, 2005
Last update: February 26, 2007
Download: http://files.bramn.com/pivot/snippet_totalposts_20070226.zip
Demo: http://www.bramn.com/history.php (while it lasts, scroll to bottom)
Contents of zipped file:- snippet_totalposts.php
- snippet_totalposts_conf.php
- readme_totalposts.txt (this file)
Usage:- unzip this package in your extensions/snippets/ folder;
- edit the configuration file (snippet_totalposts_conf.php) to your likings (see the file for extra instructions);
- place a [[totalposts:X]] tag in any of your template files;
- select a configuration array using the 'X' parameter or leave it blank for just one configuration.
Description:
The Total Posts snippet is a fully customizable addition for your Pivot Powered website, able to give the visitor an
overview of the total number of posts and comments subdivided by category (if wanted). Total Posts caches its generated
output for a small amount of time to relieve the webserver when 'Rebuilding all files'.
Further features include:- Multiple configurations for use in multiple layouts;
- Ignore or hide specific categories (already ignores the ones set to 'hidden' in the Pivot administration);
- Fully customizable output;
- Sort alphabetically, by numbers of comments or posts or by category sorting set in pivot admin;
- Sort descending or ascending;
- Alternative output options or 'renaming' for the 'default' category of pivot;
- User defined template can be used in the category links.
The tag by default works as follows; the first line shows the total amount of comments and posts (between parentheses). If there are multiple categories, the total amount of posts and comments (between parentheses) are displayed by category with a link to that category. By default if you haven't renamed the 'default' category during your pivot install, it'll be renamed to 'on the weblog'.
For further customization instructions consult the configuration file included in the ZIP file.

I found a bug: When displaying the cache, the correct code is
| Code: |
| return "<!--CACHE HIT-->" . file_get_contents($cacheFile); |
The old code pointed to an non-existing file.
In addition your example config should use double in stead single quotes so \t and \n is expanded.

I just used [[totalposts:2]], what do you want to know exactly?
A tutorial and accompanying snippet on how I did my archives or history page can be found on my website here:
http://www.bramn.com/archive/2007/02/16/Tutorial_The_Archive_Cloud
Thanks for the heads-up hansfn, my loyal debugger 
PHP codes are fixed and ZIP file is updated (no filename change though).

I'll like to know the format that you use in your history.php. I want to show year per year with months include. Similar that your history. Thank you very much.

My latest fix to the total posts snippet - fixing:
1) Do not stop Pivot completely just because the cache file can't be deleted.
2) Fix the alphabetic sorting.
| Code: |
--- snippet_totalposts.php.old 2007-08-31 13:37:16.000000000 +0200

} else {

+ $postsCount_lowercase = array_map('strtolower', array_keys($postsCount));
array_multisort($postsCount_lowercase, SORT_ASC, SORT_STRING, $postsCount);
} |
PS! Please add the version number as comments also inside snippet_totalposts.php so we know what version we are using.

Thanks for writing this snippet. It's a real useful addition to my blog.
At first I had trouble getting the alphabetical sorting to work though. I changed the php file according to hansfn's suggestions and it works now. But I'd prefer to sort by pivot sorting order, which doesn't work yet. When I set
$config[X]['sorting'] = "p";
it won't sort as expected. It keeps the sorting order for the parameter last used before I change it to 'p', I think. Can anyone fix the code so pivot sorting works?
My blog is here, and my snippet_totalposts_conf.php reads:
| Code: |
<?php
/*
You can use the following %tags% in the layout generated by [[totalposts]]
%tnp% - Returns the total number of posts (in that category, in numbers)
%tnump% - Returns the total number of posts (in that category, in words)
%tnc% - Returns the total number of comments (in that category, in numbers)
%tnumc% - Returns the total number of comments (in that category, in words)
%cat% - Returns the category title
%catid% - Returns the category id (used in links)
%catlink% - Returns a link to the category
%home% - Returns the path to your weblog frontpage
%pivot_home% - Returns the path to your pivot installation
%template% - Returns the template to be used (configured in this %file)
\n - Insert an 'end of line'
\t - Insert a TAB
All variables below can be set to nothing, to disable its generated output.
Be sure to escape double quotes like this: \"
Extend the number of configurations by copy/pasting the current lines to new lines and increasing the number between the square brackets.
Example 1: Lists all categories (except for the category 'Test', sorted descending after the number of entries) with its number of posts and comments and precedes the list with the total number of posts comments.
Example 2: Only shows one line with the total number of posts and comments.
*/
// Layout:
// First line of the generated output:
// example: 'A total of <b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> posts have been made of which:\n<ul>'
$config[1]['beginline'] = "<p>A total of <b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> posts have been made of which:</p>\n<ul>\n";
$config[2]['beginline'] = "<p>%tnp% posts with %tnc% comments</p>";
$config[3]['beginline'] = "";
// Lines per category of the generated output:
// example: '<li><b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> normal posts on the %catlink%</li>'
$config[1]['midline'] = "\t<li><b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> normal posts in %catlink%</li>\n";
$config[2]['midline'] = "";
$config[3]['midline'] = "%catlink% (%tnp% Artikel)<br>\n";
// Last line of the generated output, used for instance to close HTML lists:
// example: '</ul>';
$config[1]['endline'] = "</ul>";
$config[2]['endline'] = "";
$config[3]['endline'] = "";
// If the category name is 'default' the following line will be used:
// example: '<li><b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> normal posts on the <a>weblog</a></li>'
$config[1]['altmidline'] = "\t<li><b>%tnp% (%tnc%)</b> normal posts on the <a>weblog</a></li>\n";
$config[2]['altmidline'] = "";
$config[3]['altmidline'] = "Ohne Kategorie (%tnp% Artikel)<br>\n";
// If you want to use a specific template file in your category links you can define it here:
// If you don't know what this means just leave it empty :-)
// example: 'archivepage_template.html'
$config[1]['template'] = "";
$config[2]['template'] = "";
$config[3]['template'] = "";
// Ignoring:
// Comma seperated CASE SENSITIVE list of EXACT category names that will be ignored.
// Categories set 'Hidden' in the Pivot admin will automatically be ignored.
$config[1]['ignore'] = "Test";
$config[2]['ignore'] = "";
$config[3]['ignore'] = "linkdump";
// Sorting:
// If lines per category are generated these variables define how they are sorted.
// 'a' for alphabetical sorting (by category name),
// 'p' for pivot sorting order,
// 'c' for sorting by number of comments.
// 'e' or nothing for sorting by number of entries.
$config[1]['sorting'] = "e";
$config[2]['sorting'] = "";
$config[3]['sorting'] = "p";
// 'DESC' for descending, 'ASC' or nothing for ascending.
$config[1]['order'] = "DESC";
$config[2]['order'] = "";
$config[3]['order'] = "";
?>

I use the third configuration in my blog templates.
Thanks in advance! |
