Does this plugin have the ability to let users view their own favorites??? I'm looking for that type of plugin (and hopefully one I can edit to let them save my posts, which are about products, as their wishlist, not only favs).

Let me know if so, and let me know if you ever add that function, if not!!!

Hi Michele,

The request iwo made (about making the pluging work individually, with each user) is something I'm looking for as well. Have you made this modification? If not, do you know where I can get such a plugin?

Thanks!

I installed it but cannot figure out how to use it. How do I select posts as a Favorite? It wasn't clear to me for some reason.

Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for making this plugin. We are using it at NoticIEEEro, our blog and news centre for IEEE Region 9, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Thank you, I will be checking up on to see if you ever get around to it. Thanks again.

Now, I see what you're trying to achieve: different favorites for each user, right?

It would need a couple of things being added: a column on the table to store the user and quite a different management in the plugin.
At the moment, I'm a bit busy, but as soon as I have some spare time I might look into this.

Wow, I definitly appreciate the quick response but I have already tried this as I played around with the php, this definitly allows everyone to mark their favorites but the output is for an aggregate, I mean for everone. I would like it to be user based. I am displaying the output in the author.php and I would want each user to have his own favorites on that page. I think this would require using more of the database but I am not sure, my knowledge of programming is still very limited.

*@ iwo:* look for this towards the end of the file:

/* All the settings are stored in a single array */ $mff_settings=array(); $mff_settings=get_settings('mffav'); $mff_settings['can_toggle']=8;

And replace 8 with something like -1. It should work...let me know!

Thanks.. gonna try that.. I don't know much about MySQL

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

Michele — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 18:23:00 -0000

It seem like the plugin hasn't installed itself in the db, yet.

Try to manually run this MySQL query:

CREATE TABLE `wp_mf_fav` ( `id` INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL , `fav` TINYINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL , `avg` FLOAT UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL , `count` INT UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `id` ) );

Hello,
I'm getting this error before the pic:

WordPress database error:
[Table 'blog.wp_mf_fav' doesn't exist]
SELECT count(*) FROM wp_mf_fav WHERE id=290

can you please help me?

(I'm on WP 1.5.2)

Hmm...I guess I have to work a little bit more on it and release a new version. Thanks for your reports.

*@ chiara:* glad you love it... :D

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

chiara — Tue, 10 May 2005 11:01:00 -0000

I got the same problem and this was my solution:
1) the name of the table to create with phpmyadmin was "wp_mf_fav"
2) as smerickson said, variable $mff_dbv set to 0 and not to 1

:D Michele, I love your plugin!

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

smerickson — Sun, 08 May 2005 14:26:00 -0000

Thanks Michele. That worked. But I also had to change the variable $mff_dbv and set it to 0. Great plugin!!

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

Michele — Sun, 08 May 2005 13:05:00 -0000

*@ clint:* Let me know what you think!

*@ smerickson:* maybe there's a problem with user_leve variable.
Try adding this after line 193 in mf_favorites.php:
global $user_level;

If it still doesn't work, add this, after the line you've just added:
get_currentuserinfo();

Let me know if it works...

hmm.. I seem to be having the same problem as Bill (above) did. The script keeps calling me a dumass. I have a user level of 10. Any reasons why the script might break when I try to toggle the heart? Thanks.

Sorry for bothering you. It just suddenly worked. Thanks! :)

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

William Peng — Tue, 03 May 2005 21:16:00 -0000

I'm user level 10.

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

Michele — Tue, 03 May 2005 18:33:00 -0000

At first, I'd say it's something with your privileges: your level have to be greater than 8.

Check and let me know...

For some reason whenever I try to set a post as favorite now, it rebukes me with "Come on, don't be a dumbass!" I'm logged in and everything. This worked when I first installed it, btw. I'm not sure what's going on.

Well-done again, Michele!

>Would you...
Yes, exactly...

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

Michele — Sat, 02 Apr 2005 13:01:00 -0000

Download the plugin again, I fixed the problem.

Would you like to cut the length of the title?

Re: My first Wordpress plugin

Matthias Heil — Sat, 02 Apr 2005 12:10:00 -0000

Sorted it out - partly... - Look at the favorites list underneath my feature article and click on one of them: they're all linked to .../{$link} and hence produce an empty page instead of the one expected... what am I doing wrong?-)

http://www.matthiasheil.de/...

I would really like to have an option cutting down the length of one favorite entry to a maximum number of letters (IYKWIM)... it's not too long until Christmas, is it?-)
