This is a post i published yesterday. The 7 days post count still shows the wrong amount of views. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/DH2iEZs.png
Hey Christopher! When I run the script (with api key) locall with wamp server, the response time is almost zero. When executing the code on my server (by putting a clean php code in the root and execute it by requesting the file), there’s a delay. Almost 7 seconds delay. Now, i know you are also running a plesk server, do you know if it could have to do something with my server settings? I already tested it by processing PHP by Apache instead of nginx but that doesn’t make a difference. I’m on PHP version 5.4.23, but maybe i’m missing some php extensions?
Well i use the sharedcount api to count the total shares for me. It´s considered one of the fastest api to do this. Maybe i have configured the function wrong, i´ve tested it without caching and this peace of code make the website render at least 3 seconds later. Maybe you can have a look:
function getTotalShares($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'cache' => '600',
'url' => 0,
'f' => 0,
'bgcolor' => '#7bc6f1',
'bordercolor' => '#000',
'borderwidth' => '0',
'bordertype' => 'solid',
'fontcolor' => '#fff',
'fontsize' => '18',
'fontweight' => 'normal',
'padding' => '1',
'fontfamily' => 'Oswald'
), $atts));
$shareHash = "$cache.$url.$f.$bgcolor.$bordercolor.$borderwidth.$bordertype.$fontcolor.$fontsize.$fontweight.$padding.$fontfamily";
$totalShareRecord = 'totalshares_' . $shareHash;
$cachedposts = get_transient($totalShareRecord);
if ($cachedposts !== false) {
return $cachedposts;
} else {
if (!$url) $url = get_permalink($post->ID);
$json = wp_remote_retrieve_body( wp_remote_get("http://api.sharedcount.com/?url=" . rawurlencode($url) . "&apikey=0928d3131a18a15945e4c74fa1a68cef3c6f2ad8"));
$counts = json_decode($json, true);
$return = $counts['Twitter'] + $counts['Facebook']['total_count'] + $counts['GooglePlusOne'];
if ($f) $return = '<div id="totalshares"><img src="http://mhmag.nl/content/uploads/2014/04/viral-icon-retina-42-x-42.png" width="21" height="21" /><div id="sharecounter">' . $return . '</div><div id="gedeeld">x gedeeld</div></div>';
set_transient($totalShareRecord, $return, $cache);
return $return;
}
}
add_shortcode('totalshares','getTotalShares');Also, the total share counts are shown right below the post title, so maybe that prevents the page from rendering? I’ve added the shortcode in loop-sigle.php right below the page title and above the category and date meta.
Without this function the website will load very quickley, even without cache, due to the nginx set up.
It’s possible to create a function that uses the meta in the custom fields to hide ads per post. I posted this question today in another thread, because i dont know which meta to be used and how to construct the function, but it certainly is possible. I’ll keep you posted when I get an answer!
Christopher, we recently had a discussion in my thread about Plesk, server caching, and nginx and you look like a guy who seriously knows what he is talking about 🙂 So i’m going to ask you if you could help me out in this thread about a custom function to hide ads on certain pages. I’m sure you know how to find a solution for my problem 🙂 I would really appreciate your help!
Sorry for going completely offtopic!
