Voting Plugin, Adding Popular week, month, etc.

silentkillzr · November 2012

I am adding the functions, Popular Weekly, Popular Monthly, and so on to my voting plugin.

Ive got it down how to expand and create new discussion controllers, but i am not positive how to limit it to posts for the week, month, etc.

Heres my new function for the Popular this week.

Also i am having trouble with my pagers not working correctly, only displays first page, seems offset isn't working right.

public function DiscussionsController_PopularThisWeek_Create($Sender) {
// if (!C('Plugins.Voting.Enabled'))
// return;

  $Sender->Title(T('Popular This Week'));  // This sets title of page
  $Sender->Head->Title($Sender->Head->Title());

  $Offset = GetValue('0', $Sender->RequestArgs, '0');

  // Get rid of announcements from this view
  if ($Sender->Head) {
     $Sender->AddJsFile('discussions.js');
     $Sender->AddJsFile('bookmark.js');
     $Sender->AddJsFile('options.js');
     $Sender->Head->AddRss($Sender->SelfUrl.'/feed.rss', $Sender->Head->Title());
  }
  if (!is_numeric($Offset) || $Offset < 0)
     $Offset = 0;

  // Add Modules
  $Sender->AddModule('NewDiscussionModule');
  $BookmarkedModule = new BookmarkedModule($Sender);
  $BookmarkedModule->GetData();
  $Sender->AddModule($BookmarkedModule);

  $Sender->SetData('Category', FALSE, TRUE);  // I think this would be where i need to limit the dates somehow.
  $Limit = C('Vanilla.Discussions.PerPage', 30);
  $DiscussionModel = new DiscussionModel();
  $CountDiscussions = $DiscussionModel->GetCount();
  $Sender->SetData('CountDiscussions', $CountDiscussions);
  $Sender->AnnounceData = FALSE;
    $Sender->SetData('Announcements', array(), TRUE);
  $DiscussionModel->SQL->OrderBy('d.Score', 'desc');
  $Sender->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->Get($Offset, $Limit);
  $Sender->SetData('Discussions', $Sender->DiscussionData, TRUE);        // Or possibly right here
  $Sender->SetJson('Loading', $Offset . ' to ' . $Limit);

  // Build a pager.
  $PagerFactory = new Gdn_PagerFactory();
  $Sender->Pager = $PagerFactory->GetPager('Pager', $Sender);
  $Sender->Pager->ClientID = 'Pager';
  $Sender->Pager->Configure(
     $Offset,
     $Limit,
     $CountDiscussions,
     'discussions/popular/%1$s'
  );

  // Deliver json data if necessary
  if ($Sender->DeliveryType() != DELIVERY_TYPE_ALL) {
     $Sender->SetJson('LessRow', $Sender->Pager->ToString('less'));
     $Sender->SetJson('MoreRow', $Sender->Pager->ToString('more'));
     $Sender->View = 'discussions';
  }

  // Set a definition of the user's current timezone from the db. jQuery
  // will pick this up, compare to the browser, and update the user's
  // timezone if necessary.
  $CurrentUser = Gdn::Session()->User;
  if (is_object($CurrentUser)) {
     $ClientHour = $CurrentUser->HourOffset + date('G', time());
     $Sender->AddDefinition('SetClientHour', $ClientHour);
  }

  // Render the controller
  $Sender->View = 'index';
  $Sender->Render();

}

So far ive got it to limit posts to a specific date and so on, Trying to make a function to create a date format the same as stored in the database, but 1 week earlier than the current timestamp.

Heres what i got so far:

  $Whereas = array("DateInserted >" => date( 'Y-n-j g:i:s' ));
  $Sender->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->Get($Offset, $Limit, $Whereas);

This only works because, this date is setup as 12hr cycle, instead of 24hour. So it wont work really well.

I just need to now make a function to take that date and subtract 1 week from it, 1 day, and so on.

Looks like i figured out how todo it in a way.

Set it to one week, and it works lol.

  // This is to sort posts by Discussion Score
  $DiscussionModel->SQL->OrderBy('d.Score', 'desc');
  // This is to set how old you want posts to display
  $currentdate = date( 'Y-n-j G:i:s' );
  $newdate = $newdate = strtotime ( '-1 week' , strtotime ( $currentdate ) ) ;
  $newdate = date( 'Y-n-j G:i:s', $newdate );
  // Setting date limit here
  $Whereas = array("DateInserted >" => $newdate);
  $Sender->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->Get($Offset, $Limit, $Whereas);

Actually thats a much cleaner method, I have updated my code as follows:

  // Setting date limit here
  $Whereas = array("DateInserted >" => Gdn_Format::ToDateTime(strtotime('-1 week')));
  $Sender->DiscussionData = $DiscussionModel->Get($Offset, $Limit, $Whereas);
  $Sender->SetData('Discussions', $Sender->DiscussionData, TRUE);

This is what i finally ended up with, it makes two more tabs, so a total of 3 tabs, Popular All Time, Popular Today, And Popular This Week. Enjoy. Trying to fix the paging bug atm still.

/**
 * Add the "Popular Questions" tab.
 */
public function Base_BeforeDiscussionTabs_Handler($Sender) {

// if (!C('Plugins.Voting.Enabled'))
// return;

    echo ' <li'.($Sender->RequestMethod == 'popular' ? ' class="Active"' : '').'>'
        .Anchor(T('Popular All Time'), '/discussions/popular', 'PopularDiscussions TabLink')
    .'</li>';
    echo ' <li'.($Sender->RequestMethod == 'populartoday' ? ' class="Active"' : '').'>'
        .Anchor(T('Popular Today'), '/discussions/populartoday', 'PopularDiscussions TabLink')
    .'</li>';
    echo ' <li'.($Sender->RequestMethod == 'popularthisweek' ? ' class="Active"' : '').'>'
        .Anchor(T('Popular This Week'), '/discussions/popularthisweek', 'PopularDiscussions TabLink')
    .'</li>';

}
