On the start page the individual votes for single posts are shown. The charts do not show the table, only always the selected time.

The logs under Logs, are the logs. So there the single votes are listed. On the start page the posts with the totals of the votes.

Hello @mohammedays,

Thank you for your feedback!

Currently there is no automatic deletion, simply because it doesn’t make sense if you want to measure how well something is performing. Especially the history is important here.

If your dashboard is too slow, you can enable caching. This can be done directly in Helpful’s settings, under System. Helpful should display several 10,000 votes without any problems.

Otherwise you can build a solution yourself to delete ALL entries automatically after 7 days. Without cronjobs you can just do that with transients – directly in admin_init, if you are interested.

So this you can put in the functions.php and then it will be executed every 7 days. The important thing is that it is also run once at the beginning. After that then every 7 days.

// only in admin area (use init, template_redirect or something else, for every page in the fronted)
add_action('admin_init', function() {
    // seven days in seconds
    $seven_days_in_seconds = DAY_IN_SECONDS * 7;

    // transients, deletes itself automatically after seven days
    $transient = get_transient('helpful_auto_delete');

    // fires only, if the transients is not set
    if (false === $transient) {
        global $wpdb;

        // db table name
        $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . 'helpful';

        // db query for truncate table
        $wpdb->query("TRUNCATE TABLE $table_name");

        // stores a transient for seven days
        set_transient('helpful_auto_delete', time(), $seven_days_in_seconds);
    }
});

Hello @meir321

you can also extend the shortcode and set your own headings. Then what you are looking for should actually work. You can have a look at it.

Below you will also find a link to the other shortcode attributes of Helpful.

[helpful heading="My new heading!"]

See: https://helpful-plugin.info/docs/getting-started/shortcodes/

Are you using caching plugins? The error says that jQuery is not defined for you, at least not when Helpful is loaded.

@jmwebmaster

No problem and thank you for your answer! After all, you answered, so no problem regarding the noise!

Have you also a nice weekend and stay healthy!

Here with me I can not reproduce the error. It is important that you are not logged in when you try to vote.

If you are logged in, the fields are never shown to you, because they are filled automatically.

You can also send me an example. I have now checked this on 12 websites, all on different hosts. I could not see or reproduce the error.

Otherwise, also make sure that the template in your WordPress theme is kept up to date. Some people change Helpful’s templates and are surprised that newer versions cause errors.

It is important that you generate a unique ID for the user here. This is necessary so that a user cannot vote more than once. You have to take care of this yourself, since this is not possible with the API.

The code for the REST endpoint should look something like this:

/**
 * @return void
 */
add_action('rest_api_init', function () {

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

    $options = [
        'methods' => 'POST',
        'permission_callback' => '__return_empty_string',
    ];

    $options['callback'] = function($data) {

        if (!isset($data['user_id']) || '' === $data['user_id']) {
            return 0;
        }

        if (!isset($data['post_id']) || ! is_numeric($data['post_id'])) {
            return 0;
        }

        $user_id = sanitize_text_field($data['user_id']);
        $post_id = intval(sanitize_text_field($data['post_id']));

        Helpful\Core\Helpers::insert_vote($user_id, $post_id, 'pro', null);

        return 1;
    };

    /**
     * domain.com/wp-json/helpful/pro/?post_id=1234&user_id=1234
     */
    register_rest_route('helpful', '/pro/', $options);

    $options['callback'] = function($data) {

        if (!isset($data['user_id']) || '' === $data['user_id']) {
            return 0;
        }

        if (!isset($data['post_id']) || ! is_numeric($data['post_id'])) {
            return 0;
        }

        $user_id = sanitize_text_field($data['user_id']);
        $post_id = intval(sanitize_text_field($data['post_id']));

        Helpful\Core\Helpers::insert_vote($user_id, $post_id, 'contra', null);

        return 1;
    };

    /**
     * domain.com/wp-json/helpful/contra/?post_id=1234&user_id=1234
     */
    register_rest_route('helpful', '/contra/', $options);
});

After that you can try the following things to execute your request:

/* Request URL */
$url = 'domain.com/wp-json/helpful/pro/';
$url = 'domain.com/wp-json/helpful/contra/';

/**
 * Here we now enter the user who should publish the post.
 * As password we use the generated password by applications passwords from admin user profile.
 */
$user = '<benutzername>';
$pass = '<applications passwords>';

/* Request header */
$headers = [
    'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode($user . ':' . $pass),
    'cache-control' => 'no-cache',
];

/* Request body */
$body = [
    'post_id' => 1234, // post_id for the vote
    'user_id' => 1234, // unique user_id
];

/* Request arguments */
$args = [
    'headers' => $headers,
    'body' => $body,
    'method' => 'POST',
    'timeout' => 45,
    'redirection' => 5,
    'httpversion' => '1.0',
    'blocking' => true,
    'cookies' => [],
];

/* Our request */
$response = wp_remote_post($url, $args);

/* If the request returns an error, the error is output */
if (is_wp_error($response)) {
    print_r($response->get_error_message());
}

$response = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
$response = wp_json_decode($response);
$response = intval($response);

if (1 === $response) {
    echo 'Vote was saved';
}

if (0 === $response) {
    echo 'Vote was not saved';
}

How this works with the REST API and what you have to consider, you have to read yourself in the codex. But this is how it should work.

Are you using PHP 8.0? I currently have the problem only with a site that uses PHP 8.0. However, I have not yet been able to find the cause.

I’ll take a look at it next week. Unfortunately I can’t do that at the moment.

Thanks for your feedback!
