Not sure about the wp-cron problem (doesn’t sound like it’s related to this change?).
The activity uses any “post” activity, i.e. whenever the user creates a new blog post or page, he/she jumps to the top of the list. Comments are not considered at the moment and it doesn’t do any weighting either of course.
I could add recent comments into the mix but it would still just be a sorted by “recentness”; so whoeever posted the last comment/post would appear on top. For a “better” activity sort we’d need some kind of activity points system which factors in the time of a post/comment, activity type (post, comment, or something else) and possibly other factors like the custom weights you wanted; I can see how that would probably be quite useful but it’s not really in the scope for this plugin.
Sorry, but the post above doesn’t really apply here; you’d need a way to calculate cubepoints just for the past week; I don’t know the plugin very well but from what I’ve seen that’s not possible with cubepoints.
It can probably be implemented by adding a new value for “the past week cubepoints” and recalculating that value at least once a day; either way, that’s in the area of the cubepoints plugin… maybe you can ask the author for help on that front.
Sorry, that’s not possible.
You could create the users in the order you want them to appear and sort by user-id, but that would be one-time thing. Or if you aren’t using the firstname and lastname fields on the user profile you could use those…

In reply to: [Plugin: Author avatars]Sorry, I can’t debug CSS problems without access to the actual site… Usually it’s a clash with the theme stylesheet(s) causing the problem, so if you have contact to your theme’s developer maybe you can ask them for assistance!?
Fair enough. Good if that works for you 🙂 Just be careful when you update the plugin because you will obviously have to re-apply your changes…
Changing the sort direction should have an effect; it does on my test blog anyway. If it doesn’t then please try downloading the whole thing again, maybe there is something missing.
Sorry, what I meant was that you can also download the development version from this page. Replacing the files should’ve worked as well though.
How do you define the “recentness” of your authors? At the moment it compares the date of the most recently published content for each author (that includes posts, pages, but also custom content types I think). Could you provide a link to you blog so I can have a look myself?
Done, please download the development version and try the “recent activity” sort option in the widget/shortcode.
Sure it’s possible; you “just” need to add a new sorting option… have a look at changeset [120577], which shows what I’ve done to introduce a new option for sorting by “recent activity”. Instead of
get_user_last_activity()you need to use a function from the cubepoints plugin which retrieves the points for a user, and instead of checking for buddypress you should check for the cubepoints plugin.If you could supply a respective patch (howto 1, 2) at the end that would be great! Any questions, feel free to ask!
At the moment it is only possible to hide users which you don’t want to show up… The shortcode for that is:
[authoravatars hiddenusers=admin]The easiest way to achieve what you want is probably to put all your core users into a separate role and only display users from that role. You can either use core roles like “Editor” or try creating a new role, for example with the help of the Capability Manager plugin.
If you don’t shy some programming then another option would be some custom coding… I can help with that if necessary and would be happy to accept patches to the plugin.
Sounds like it might be a caching problem; As far as I know WP-SuperCache generates static html files for all pages which are served for anonymous users (i.e. you when you’re not logged in). I’m only guessing but if your authors page is cached and then you create a new user, it won’t show up in the cached version of course… so see if clearing the cache fixes things.
Styling isn’t very good for when names are displayed… Basically I put them in separate lines because I don’t know how long your usernames are going to be; You can switch back to “inline mode” (i.e. multiple columns) by adding the following to your theme’s
style.css:.multiwidget_author_avatars .author-list .with-name { display: inline-block !important; width: 70px; }Adjust the width value as needed.
Hm, that’s not possible at the moment, but it could be implemented of course…
As far as I know WordPress does not keep track of the most recent post for each user, which probably means that we need a custom sql query (and a new sorting option of course)… Shouldn’t be too difficult, I can give it a try some time next week.
Wow, paypal really doesn’t make these things easy. Anyway, I finally found the right option and the link should now lead to the international page… Thanks for your support!
