Greetings to all.
I'm trying to change the plugin KNR Author List taken from this address: http://www.nitinkatkam.com/blog/?page_id=60
The plugin can display a ranking of authors by number of posts entered. Then it uses the plugin to create a ranking of most active users. Now I would like to promote a small contest, and I want the plugin I see only the number of articles posted by each author in the category "Contest" in order to reset the counter and start all participants at 0.
I looked at the code and I tried to make small changes, but unfortunately I can not understand anything and I get only errors.
I have already contacted the author of the plugin but got no answer.
I ask you, because maybe the solution is simple and it's me I'm losing in a glass of water.
Thanks in advance for the whole community
Don't know about the plugin code so will give you an example of getting then number of posts by author for a given category:
<?php
//displays users along with count of posts each user has belonging to category 3
$blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
if ($blogusers) {
foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
$user = get_userdata($bloguser->user_id);
$userposts = get_posts('cat=3&showposts=-1&author='.$bloguser->user_id);
$count=count($userposts);
echo '<p>User ID ' . $user->ID . ' ' . $user->user_firstname . ' ' . $user->user_lastname . ', posts in category 3: ' . $count . '</p>';
}
}
?>

Ok, thanks. It's work!
Is it possible to esclude autors without posts? And to order by n° of posts?
Tnx
change
echo '<p>User ID ' . $user->ID . ' ' . $user->user_firstname . ' ' . $user->user_lastname . ', posts in category 3: ' . $count . '</p>';
to
if ($count > 0 ) {
echo '<p>User ID ' . $user->ID . ' ' . $user->user_firstname . ' ' . $user->user_lastname . ', posts in category 3: ' . $count . '</p>';
}
[edit corrected if]
