Thanks – that was a block from my host because of hacking incident a few months back, looks like we are clear. I know now to check this.

That is awesome, thanks, it works! I have a shortcode that generates the rankings based on a custom taxonomy and tags (I use twitter names as markers, so I filter for ones that start with “@”).

Here it is sorted the way I want

http://udg.theagoraonline.net/daily/leaders/

Here’s my code:

/* ----- shortcode to generate lists of top contributors -------- */
add_shortcode("dailyleaders", "dailyblank_leaders");  

function dailyblank_leaders ( $atts ) {  

	// return a list of the top responders to dailies

	// get the value of any passed attributes to our function
	// we want a number of results we should return (0=all)
	// and an indicator if we are looking for responders (hashtag taxonony) or contributors (tag tax)
	// Allow for exclusion based on ID of the hashtag taxonony
 	extract( shortcode_atts( array( "number" => 0,  "type" => 'responders' , "exclude" => "" ), $atts ) );  

	// temp filter to use name as secondary sort (first by tag count, then by name)
	add_filter( 'terms_clauses', 'dailyblank_second_orderby', 10, 3 );

	// Arguments to search hashtag terms
	// search for @ in order of highest frequency
	$args = array(
		'number' => $number,
		'exclude' =>  $exclude,
		'name__like' => '@'
	);

	if ( $type == 'contributors') {
		// search for terms in the custom taxonomy for regular tags
		$terms = get_tags( $args );
		$taxpath = 'tag';
	} else {
		// search for terms in the custom taxonomy for response tags
		$terms = get_terms('hashtags',  $args );
		$taxpath = 'hashtags';
	}

	// clean up after ourselves
	remove_filter( 'terms_clauses', 'dailyblank_second_orderby', 10, 3 );

	$out = '<ol>';
	// here come the leaders!
	foreach ( $terms as $term) {
		$out .= '<li><a href="' . site_url() . "/$taxpath/" . $term->slug  . '">' . $term->name . ' (' . $term->count . ')</a></li>';
	}
	$out .= '</ol>';

	// here ya go!
	return ($out);

}

// adds name as secondary order by term for get terms

function dailyblank_second_orderby( $pieces, $taxonomies, $args ) {
	$pieces['orderby'] = 'ORDER BY tt.count DESC,t.name';
	return $pieces;
}

Thanks. He did have one project posted

Oh, I bet it’s because my multi-site is via directory, not sub-domain? So it perhaps needs some htaccess magic?

Ahh, my mistake I missed those short codes, that works. Thanks for such a great plugin.
