Re: smd_article_stats: Article stats to count words 'n stuff
Hi Stef, would it be easy to have smd_article_stats count all articles & excerpts (separately and summed) by just one given author?
If a publisher wants to get an easy overview on how much he owes to that staff writer, than a word counter like that would be very handy.
The results could be displayed on the Adminstration/User page, in brackets behind the user name – or similar.
I tried hacking your plug into that direction, but my coding skills are too lame (working on it, though)

Re: smd_article_stats: Article stats to count words 'n stuff
I likes me word counts in the Write zone.
I used to use zem’s word counter, and the thing I liked about it was the position of the stats output under the excerpt, in context of the author and post date. Out of eye’s way and not distracting, but there when you wanted a quick look at it. :}

Nope. That’s why the plugin allows you to place the panel where you like.
Unfortunately it’s not immediately accessible because the size of the plugin would probably triple if I added the option to set it via the admin interface. So I opted for a hidden pref instead. Paraphrasing the plugin help, grab a copy of smd_prefalizer if you want to make it easy on yourself and add a hidden pref called smd_article_stats_pos
then set it to one of the following values:
- status_above : (default location) above the Status box
- excerpt_below : Immediately beneath the Excerpt
- author_below : Beneath the author info (under the Excerpt)
- title_above : above the Title box
- textile_help_above : above the Textile Help twisty
- textile_help_below : below the Textile Help twisty
- none : disable the panel
You can set the value globally, or per-user.
However, I just noticed that excerpt_below
option was broken and didn’t update in realtime so I’ve fixed it in v0.23, as well as adding a zem-compatible option: author_below
.

Re: smd_article_stats: Article stats to count words 'n stuff
Hi Bloke,
I’ve tried to add a custom field to the count and got it working on admin side, but client side it won’t include the field to the count.
I have included the the field on the library function (as said it works on admin side) and have also something like this for the client side function:
$out = array();
$item = do_list($item);
$out[] = smd_article_info_count($item, $thisarticle['body'], $thisarticle['excerpt'], $thisarticle['title'], $thisarticle['custom_13']);
Then I use a tag:
<txp:smd_article_stats item='body,title,custom_13'/>
Any tips how could I get this working?

It’s a bit more involved than that, but since it makes a heap of sense, I’ve just modded the plugin to permit any article field to be counted. Since it’s not fully tested yet, I’ve made a beta of v0.24.
There’s a little (non-harmful) bug if you’re running SVN due to the new AJAXy Write tab but if I fix that I’ll release it, providing it does what you want.
Note: don’t use custom_N but use the actual custom field name in this version. It totals all the words from the things listed in your item
attribute.
Hope that helps, and thanks for the idea.

Fixed. Download beta again if you’ve already got it. Let me know how it goes and I’ll release it if it scratches the itch.

Re: smd_article_stats: Article stats to count words 'n stuff
Thanks Bloke,
Unfortunately it still doesn’t seem to include the custom field to the count (I used the field name), and actually on admin side it displays only zeros now.

Re: smd_article_stats: Article stats to count words 'n stuff
I stand corrected. It does count the custom field, didn’t realize the field name has to be all lowercase. Admin side still shows all zeros though. I use hak_tinymce, if that has any relevance, although the earlier version was displaying ok count after save.
Also I noticed this error is displaying at the bottom of the admin side:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/kiina8/www/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(653) : eval()'d code on line 97

Ah yes, Textpattern lower-cases it internally.

Weird, works for me. But…
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
probably wasn’t helping. Try the new beta I just uploaded which squashes that bug. Thanks for the report.
