Ken, it looks as if the new version does fix the conflict — it uses the built-in is_admin() function if it’s available.

Alex has released version 1.2 of the plugin. Do you know if the update fixes the conflict with other plugins? Since you are the one who initially brought up the problem, I thought you might know.

[...] Downloaded it from this site and it sure worked well. I am glad that this tweaked version worked well. [...]

Hi thanks - even with with the fixes to Alex’s script you post here I am still getting the following errors when I activate the plugin:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/.goethe/fortyfoxes/cod.architex.tv/wp-content/plugins/popularity-contest.php on line 263
Table ‘cod_blog.wp_ak_popularity’ doesn’t exist

Then when I look at the reports:

WordPress database error: [Table 'cod_blog.wp_ak_popularity' doesn't exist]
SELECT p.*, pop.* FROM wp_posts p LEFT JOIN wp_ak_popularity pop ON p.ID = pop.post_id WHERE p.post_status = ‘publish’ ORDER BY pop.total DESC LIMIT 50

Can I create the tables manually? Alex does not seem to be supporting the plugin… aybe Anne fixed her problem? Help appreciated!

I get an error trying to create tables on initialisation (same problem as Anne):

Table ‘cod_blog.wp_ak_popularity’ doesn’t exist

Any ideas?

Ignore me, sorry. I had uploaded the plugin to

/wp-content/plugins/popularity-contest/

instead of just at the root of the plugins folder. It means it half works but certain things don’t

Thanks for this adaption.

Nice work on this, thanks However anytime I try to update popularity values or reset the comments count I get this error

“You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 2″

Any thoughts?
