Get the term list for an object<?php echo "<ul>"; echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, aktivitet, <li>, </li><li>, </li> ); echo "</ul>";?>

A Lesson Learned:DON’T TRUST FACEBOOK!

≠ 1 like

= 1 likeor 1 shareor 1commentor 1 clicketc etc etc

Getting Facebook Like (etc) Numbers Facebook Query Language (FQL)https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20%20like_count,%20total_count,%20share_count,%20click_count,%20comment_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=http://www.wordcampvictoria.ca/&format=xml

Parsing Facebook Like Numbers<?php$permalink = get_permalink( $post->ID );$content =file_get_contents("https://api.facebook.com/method/fql.query?query=select%20total_count%20from%20link_stat%20where%20url=" . $permalink . "&format=xml");$element = new SimpleXmlElement($content);$likes = $element->link_stat->total_count;echo $likes;?>

Computers are really good at math

Finding the percentage for completion<?php$earned = ($likes*5);?><div class="earned"> Earned: <?php echo $earned; ?>kr</div>

Finding the percentage for completion<?php$kroner = ($likes*5);if ($kroner <= 3000) { $earned = $kroner;} else { $earned = 3000;}?><div class="earned"> Earned: <?php echo $earned; ?>kr</div>

Finding the percentage for completion<?php$kroner = ($likes*5);if ($kroner <= 3000) { $earned = $kroner; $percent = (($likes*100)/600);} else { $earned = 3000; $percent = 100;}?><div class="earned"> <span style="width: <?php echo $percent; ?>%"> Earned: <?php echo $earned; ?>kr </span></div>

Making the percentage graph.earned { background-color: #dfe0e0; position: relative; height: 8px; margin-top: 15px; border-radius: 5px;}.earned span { background-color: #16bcee; position: absolute; height: 8px; text-indent: -9999px; border-radius: 5px;}

What about this SMS thing?

Anything WordPress can do I can do too In this case<?phpadd_action(publish_soknad, check_term_changes, 10, 2);function check_term_changes($post_id, $post){ $terms = wp_get_object_terms($post_id, $taxonomy); switch($term_id) { case $term_id == $status_terms[post_likes]: $sms_message = message; break; update_post_meta($post_id, _prev_status, $term_id);}?>

Bonus 1 Get (and fix) URL from a custom field<?phpif ((get_post_meta($post->ID, website, true))) { $websiteURL = get_post_meta($post->ID, website, true); if (substr($websiteURL,0,7) != http://) { $websiteURL = http:// . $websiteURL; }?><a href="<?php echo $websiteURL ?>“ title="Website"> The Website</a><?php } ?>

Bonus 2 Automatic oEmbed of videos via<?php custom fieldif(get_post_meta($post->ID, video, true)) { ?> <div id="video"> <?php $video = get_post_meta($post->ID, video, true); echo wp_oembed_get( $video ); ?> </div><?php}?>
