Let's say I'm making a blog app. I want to display the number of people who saw this specific post. Basically, if I have ten posts, I want to display the number of people saw each by opening it on the new Flutter page. I want to do this so people can basically see what is trending and click on that. Thanks!
You can set a counter at backend server api that how many times a blog post is called for fetching details. This can be a field for filter, sorting, display in app then.

I'm new here and was directed to try this forum for my quandary with WooCommerce.
I’ve created downloadable products that are free. – I’m using Storefront WooCommerce Theme for WordPress.
– Before the download is available I would like the users information ie: email, name. I’m using the checkout page (place order) for this and bypassing the cart. So instead of collecting payment I’m collecting contact info. I have customized that page and buttons to only gather the information required for download.
– Once they enter the information they are able to download the file, but only from a different page (another click). I’d like download to automatically download on the place order button click.(I've changed the text to read: download specifications)
In summary:
– I would like to have the file download automatically without the place order summary page more of a thank you for your interest page.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you again for any help you can give me.
I'm not sure why the negative votes, I thought this was a place to share and find answers.
I did a work-around which works for now. I may revisit this later. There are still 3 clicks but the flow is a lot nicer.
• I copied the woo thank you php check out template to my child theme and made some custom changes to eliminate the extra order information
• changed button title for smoother flow while still gather the user information in my order information.
• I can trim the template even more but that will take a while because the download function is attached to the order table which is actually the information I want to record.
• Then, I thought about attaching a form to the button at the single product page to capture the user info but that opens another can of worms in record keeping since it won’t populate the order table.
What I wanted to do requires lots of heavy lifting which will take some time for me to figure. If I come up with the answer to my original question I will share with the forum.
I have have a client that wants to create a Wordpress site with the following features.
Private Messaging
User profile
Friend Groups
The ability for a user to create one or many "journals" which are essentially a blog, which only their friends can see.
The last item is the one that I am puzzling over. It seems that it might be best to create a multisite where users can create their own blogs. But I'm not sure how I would manage who can see the blogs, or how I would display the blogs on the user's profile page.
Does anyone know any projects similar to this or have any ideas about where to start with a project like this?
Update for anyone who sees this.
Buddypress solves first three problems more or less out of the box.
I decided to customize the groups feature a bit to fit the bill for a user created journal. The user can create a group (groups are renamed 'journals' by means of the translation file for BP) and he is the only one allowed to post to it. I have updated some of the group meta fields so the user can add a bit more information about his journal, as well.
Recently, I am developing a self-using blogging system, but I have some questions about the implementation of pagination.
The pagination I want is :
10 results per page
When user visits the home page(/), he/she could see the current page he/she is at(in this example is page one), and if there are more than 10 results, then he/she could be able to see the 'Next' Link.
If there are some results before this page, and there are also some results after this page, then this page should have 'Prev' and 'Next' Link and the current page number.
This thinking appeared when I was designing the algorithm about pagination:
If I want to implement this functionality, I need to know the total numbers of published posts.(If it is not published, it shouldn't be displayed), so maybe I need to write this SQL code :
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM post WHERE published IS NOT TRUE;
And I could pick the result above and the current page number the user is at to compute the pagination result.
But the question I want to ask is if there are many records , performance will be very terrible, how could I make this program more faster?
I see the pagination of a blog that has thousands of post and is built on top of WordPress is very fast, I want to know how could I archive this speed ?
Thanks a lot.
go through this sample PHP Pagination coding. Results won't be slow because of the LIMIT n,n+RecordsPerPage part of the mySQL query.
I've noticed some websites that have a most viewed posts section. I am looking to add this functionality to the side bar.
How can you setup a method that determines how many posts have been selected by a user then add in the top 3 or so viewed posts?
For example here (towards the middle of the page in the sidebar, the most viewed): http://america.aljazeera.com/
Is there a bundle that incorporates this?
Or is there an easier method by using a count based on how many times a user clicks on a post?
No, I don't know anyBundle doing that.
To have the 3 most viewed article you need to add a field in your database which save how much the article is important.
You have severals ways of doing it, this is what comes to my mind:
First: You add an relation ViewedByWeek -> Post.
Foreach post, this entity keep how much it have been visited.
Everytime an user visit the page, you improve the number of visits of the post for the current week.
Then, you can find the most popular post in the week, in the month, in the year.
If you don't use anything related to the time, the information will not be changing much
I'm currently in the process of writing my first Wordpress Plugin, which is extending WPmembers. Essentially, the logic flows as follows.
User logs in
Database is referenced to see if this is their first login, if true..
The user is presented with an information verification screen... once verified
Information goes to Salesforce via POST.
My issue is with step three, while I understand displaying fields from the database, I'm unsure of how to make those fields editable by the user.
Any tips? I'm sure this has been done before but after several days of googling I've been unable to find a use case that's similar enough to mine to be put to use.
This should help:
