If you want to translate Helpful, you can do it here on WordPress.org. The folders will not exist, because Helpful makes use of WordPress.org.

Thank you!

The problem here is not Helpful, but something else. Helpful does not start any code beforehand. The error message is always shown when something is improperly executed and output before the session is started.

Solving the problem with Helpful is a bit difficult for me, since not all plugins/themes that use sessions use sessions properly. I’ll see if I can tweak something there anyway.

I have now added something in version 4.4.40. You can now set under Helpful > Settings > Details > General whether the user ID should be saved when the user is logged in while voting.

If you enable this option, you can use the following filter to manipulate the output in the table:

add_filter('helpful/logs/user_string', function ($user_string, $row) {
    $user = get_user_by('ID', $row->user);

    if ( $user ) {
        $user_string = $user->user_login . ' (' . $user->ID . ')';
    }

    return $user_string;
}, PHP_INT_MAX, 2);

Since there was a problem with prioritization in the previous filter, the problem probably exists with the other filter as well. Therefore here again with an increased prioritization.

In my tests I have always installed only Helpful and use default themes. There are then no problems here.

add_filter('helpful_user_string', function ($userstring) {

    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        $userstring = $user->user_login . ' (' . $user->ID . ')';
    }

   return $userstring; 
}, PHP_INT_MAX, 1);

This is how it has to work. In my tests, it worked flawlessly this way. The logs then showed me what was in the database. I can’t see any error in the code here. It is important that you use the latest version of Helpful.

You don’t have to do a maintenance, because the change only affects the table for the logs.

If the logs still say 1, then the filter has a too low priority or another plugin takes effect first.

The priority would be so to change:

add_filter('helpful/logs/user_string', function( $user_string, $row ) {
    $user_string = $row->user;
    return $user_string;
}, PHP_INT_MAX, 2);

Helpful itself doesn’t offer you a way to do this, you have to build your own. But Helpful offers you a few functions with which you can change the Helpful user. But then you only see in the Helpful logs who has done what.

Helpful does not store any personal data, so there are no problems with data protection.

(functions.php):

/**
 * @param string $userstring
 */
add_filter('helpful_user_string', function ($userstring) {

    if (is_user_logged_in()) {
        $user = wp_get_current_user();
        $userstring = $user->user_login . ' (' . $user->ID . ')';
    }

   return $userstring; 
});

Thanks for your feedback!

I just ran an update. You can now use two functions in PHP that will give you the necessary content in an array. This function is also used by the widget in the dashboard. Maybe this will help you.
