Using Shortcode

• To output download stat in blog post, use shortcode in your post content / excerpt.
• To make it easier, you can use the media button (see screenshot for more info) and follow the steps given.

To understand more about the shortcode and examples:

1. Get Single Info only

Use attribute ‘get’ to return only a single infomation

Valid values of attribute ‘get’ :
All tags available are the valid values of attribute ‘get’. However, you can only use one tag at once. (without curly bracket of course)

Example:

• Get total number of downloads
  
• Get number of downloads since last week
  
• Get URL to download the latest version
  

You can use media button to make the whole process a lot easier.

2. Formatted Output – return output based on format id

use attribute ‘format’

you can create and save a new format at plugin option page

Default format is : <a href=”{url}”>{name}</a> has been downloaded {total} times in total

Example:

• Display using default format (you don’t have to specify the format id)
  
• Display using format id 1
  

You can use media button to make the whole process a lot easier.

3. Auto wrap output content with HTML paragraph <p> tag

use attribute ‘autop’

by default autop is set to true, which means it automatically wrap the output content with <p> tags

To display the content inline, use autop=”false”

Frequently Asked Questions

I can’t add new data
You need to use the URL to the statistics page, not to the main page. First of all, check whether the URL you type is the URL to the statistics page (it ends with /stats/). For example, URL to my wordpress theme demo bar plugin is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-theme-demo-bar/ and I should use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-theme-demo-bar/stats/.

How to display content inline?
Add autop=”false” to the shortcode.
