Hello,

Exactly. There was only one problem at first, which I had solved. As a response, I then received a very long text with more points. Among other things, that you can no longer load files via CDN.

Because I don’t have time to solve all the problems myself, Helpful might not come online any more. Helpful was always open source, but the participation of other people was never given. Since I do everything alone and currently have no time, this will probably not be solved.

I apologize for this!

Greetings Kevin

Currently, there are no plans to expand Helpful, at least not from my side, since I hardly have time for it at the moment.

Your image is also not shown, so I can’t quite understand what you mean.

Stay healthy and thanks for your time!

Unfortunately, this is not so easy. You have to copy the template and adapt it to make it work.

You copy this file: https://gist.github.com/pixelbart/3f81d45ec0fdbf5da4ca779ba6bcff33
Into the folder: wp-content/themes/your-theme/helpful/helpful.php

You can also help out with JavaScript if you like. Here’s an example, completely unoptimized, but it should work:

jQuery('.helpful').each(function() {
    let helpful = jQuery(this);
    let proButton = helpful.find('.helpful-pro');
    let contraButton = helpful.find('.helpful-contra');
    let pro = parseInt(proButton.find('.helpful-counter').text());
    let contra = parseInt(contraButton.find('.helpful-counter').text());
    let total = pro + contra;
    let proPercent = Math.round((pro / total) * 100);
    let contraPercent = Math.round((contra / total) * 100);

    proButton.find('.helpful-counter').text(proPercent + '%');
    contraButton.find('.helpful-counter').text(contraPercent + '%');
});

If you’d rather put this in your functions.php, that works too:

add_action('wp_footer', function() {
    ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('.helpful').each(function() {
    let helpful = jQuery(this);
    let proButton = helpful.find('.helpful-pro');
    let contraButton = helpful.find('.helpful-contra');
    let pro = parseInt(proButton.find('.helpful-counter').text());
    let contra = parseInt(contraButton.find('.helpful-counter').text());
    let total = pro + contra;
    let proPercent = Math.round((pro / total) * 100);
    let contraPercent = Math.round((contra / total) * 100);

    proButton.find('.helpful-counter').text(proPercent + '%');
    contraButton.find('.helpful-counter').text(contraPercent + '%');
});
</script>
<?php
});

Hopefully I could help you in some way. If I have misunderstood you, then write me briefly what exactly you have in mind.

Greetings Kevin

Hello @david78987,

I didn’t know exactly what to do now, since Helpful doesn’t actually touch the caching header. Then I noticed that cache set to false in Helpful’s Ajax request. I have now changed that, or removed the property cache, so that the jQuery default is used.

If this doesn’t solve the problem, I’m afraid I don’t know what will. Here I would need to know more. I haven’t found anything else either.

Here you can have a look yourself: https://github.com/pixelbart/helpful/search?q=cache

I noticed that with you on the site, my browser console is getting numerous messages. This GIF in particular keeps loading but not being found, causing network errors in the browser: https://socialself.com/detroitchicago/greenoaks.gif

You might want to take a look at that as well.

Thank you for your feedback, please stay well!

Greetings Kevin

Thank you for your feedback!

The first proposal can be done quite well, already now. However, you need to place this in the functions.php or similar. Read more here: https://helpful-plugin.info/docs/professionals/how-to-execute-php-code-on-your-wordpress-website/

functions.php:

add_shortcode('helpful_inline', function ($atts) {
    global $post;

    if (!function_exists('helpful_get_contra')) {
        return;
    }

    if (!property_exists('ID', $post)) {
        return;
    }

    $defaults = [
        'type' => 'pro',
        'singular' => '%d person found this post useful.',
        'plural' => '%d persons found this post useful.',
    ];

    extract(shortcode_atts($defaults, $atts));

    // Contra
    if ($type === 'contra') {
        $contra = helpful_get_contra($post->ID) ?: 0;

        // Singular
        if ($contra == 1) {
            return '<span class="helpful_inline">' . sprintf($singular, intval($contra)) . '</span>';
        }

        // Plural
        return '<span class="helpful_inline">' . sprintf($plural, intval($contra)) . '</span>';
    }

    // Pro
    $pro = helpful_get_pro($post->ID) ?: 0;

    // Singular
    if ($pro == 1) {
        return '<span class="helpful_inline">' . sprintf($singular, intval($pro)) . '</span>';
    }

    // Plural
    return '<span class="helpful_inline">' . sprintf($plural, intval($pro)) . '</span>';
});

After that, you can output the text you want within a post or page with the following shortcode:

Pro

[helpful_inline type="pro" singular="%d guy liked this" plural="%d guys liked this"]

Contra

[helpful_inline type="contra" singular="%d guy liked this" plural="%d guys liked this"]

Warning: The %d is always the number, it must always be specified.

CSS-class for this: .helpful_inline

You can use it to make the text red, for example:

.helpful_inline { color: red; }

Your second suggestion I would have to program, which is more effort and costs time, which is why I have only created this as an issue on GitHub for now. Maybe there will be someone who wants to do it meanwhile. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait a bit.

I hope this helps you.

Stay healthy and have a good time!

Greetings Kevin

I just had some thoughts about this, the WP-Optimize hint was great, as I found here that WP-Optimize works with buffering. That explains your problems if we are lucky.

I have now built something that may solve your problem. It’s not an optimal solution, but it may work for you this way.

Otherwise, feel free to use the older version again. Maybe you can find an alternative to Helpful, which would make me happy too, as long as you are happy!
