Yes. Slimstats said to clear the W3T cache fully which I have done, but it is not counting correctly still and PPC has only recorded one view each for five authors only and everything is a negative number. Will keep working with them to try and see what is going on.

I’d say there’s something wrong with slimstats then. If it worked, even briefly, it means my plugin / addon works fine, but that something breaks slimstats and maybe its files… The fact that it’s also not counting views correctly is a warning bell to me as well.

Have a nice day,

Oh, didn’t reinstalling Slimstats solve the issue? Did it work at least for a while?

Hi Jason,
authors’ tipping is currently unavailable, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to do that as of now 🙂

Have a nice day,

Hi Stefano,

Thanks. Yes, that fixed it. I had found the solution before coming back here.

The error occurs if Pay only when the total payment threshold is reached and the threshold setting is blank or zero.

I reinstalled slimstats and everything worked.

At the moment we’re still setting the site up. I suspect we’ll move up to the Pro version fairly soon.

Would there be a way to set the payment system up based on page visits but have one bonus payment for one level of work and a separate bonus payment for a second level of work? EG. $X for a rewrite and $Y for original work?

Thank you,

John

Thanks for you feedback 🙂

I’m totally fine counting it by myself, that is ok, as probably it is too complicated system for adding to plugin. All I need is data being displayed in Stats

That’s the best I can hope to achieve with university starting in a couple of days. I’ll see what I can do to have data displayed in the stats 🙂

Have a nice day,
Stefano

Hello Stefano,

Thank you for your quick response.

Particularly in my case I was thinking about this plan:
– if the average bounce rate for all the articles published in that month is smaller than in previous month, journalists gets 5% bonus to overall payment. If in the second month he has smaller bounce rate again, he get 50% bonus. If he has the smaller bounce rate in the third month again, he will get 50% bonus again. And it will happen all the time until the bounce rate gets smaller and smaller. It will stimulate a person make the bounce rate smaller and smaller every month, as if he has it bigger in one of the months (it means worth engagement of author’s articles), he will lose his 50% bonus and will have to start from the beginning to get the bonus. The same for Page/Session data. I’m totally fine counting it by myself, that is ok, as probably it is too complicated system for adding to plugin. All I need is data being displayed in Stats ))))

For the rest of the people it can work in this way:
– if person has average bounce rate or Page/Session for all the articles per month in this range, he gets this bonus. If he has another range, he gets another bonus

BTW, one more feature I was thinking about is ability of adding custom bonuses. For example I pay set amount of extra money to one of the journalists every month, as she is a manager. Or I pay bonus to the person whose article became the most popular in this month. So a feature with custom bonus system could be helpful as well.

Thanks,
Denis.

Sure – I have just now 🙂
