Display Filtered Logs on Front End?

    First of all, this plug-in is amazing. Was using CubePoints up until this morning when I lost patience with the lack of documentation and got fed up. Your codex is thorough and so helpful that I (someone who doesn’t know much php at all) was able to hook points into another plugin I’m using… and I got SO excited 😀

    My question is: now that I’ve figured out how to have points added once a day per post for “Check-ins”, I’m trying to figure out the best way to display them on the front end of the site… I’ve figured out the basic log call:

    <?php
// The Query
$query = new myCRED_Query_Log('ref=check_ins');

// Show results
$query->display();
?>

    Which returns something like:

    UserDatePointsEntry
    AdminJuly 14, 2013 10:41 am2Checked in at Pomodori!
    AdminJuly 14, 2013 10:38 am22 Points for checking in to Testing!
    UserDatePointsEntry

    What I’d really like to return is something more like:
    (small avatar) Admin Checked in at Pomodori! (13 mins ago)

    Is this possible? It seems like it might be from your codex, I’m just in over my head a bit.

    Thanks again for your awesome work, really!

    Hey rucheli770

    Glad to hear your enjoying myCRED.

    The display() method in the myCRED_Query_Log() class is hard-coded to return a table in the format you see now. You could however make your own by ignoring the display() method, building your own.

    Let me give you a very basic example that shows the users avatar and display name:

    <?php
// The Query
$query = new myCRED_Query_Log('ref=check_ins');

// If we have results
if ( $query->have_entries() ) {
	echo '<table>';
	foreach ( $query->results as $log_entry ) {
		$user = get_userdata( $log_entry->user_id );
		echo '<tr>';
		echo '<td class="avatar">' . get_avatar( $log_entry->user_id ) . '</td>';
		echo '<td class="username">' . $user->display_name . '</td>';
		echo '</tr>';
	}
	echo '</table>';
}
?>

    I am using the have_entries() method to see if we have any results, then loop though the $query->results. The log will return:

    • user_id
    • creds
    • entry
    • time

    for each entry so we can get them via i.e. $log_entry->user_id.

    You can see how the display() method works in mycred/includes/mycred-module-log.php file on line 839 and onwards.

    Let me know if you need any further assistance.
