Esatto, c’è una prima sincronizzazione (opzionale) per allineare il plugin con i dati precedenti all’installazione, e poi ogni giorno vengono automaticamente recuperati i dati del giorno precedente.

Più o meno si: postmeta è una tabella di wordpress in cui vengono salvati i metadati dei post (per esempio il numero di visite associate a ciascuno)

Hi Greg,
there’s not an option for that, but as soon as you will make a payment, you will be prompted to enter your paypal credentials, so everything will be sorted out at that point 🙂

Have a nice day,

Hi BJ,
that is actually a feature: changing the settings impacts all stats, regardless of the date. You may work around that using the single post payment bonus, either awarding more money to future posts or changing settings with higher payments and using the bonus to take money away from past posts.

Hope this helps!
Have a nice day,

I haven’t written any developer documentation yet, unfortunately, but pleease feel free to ask anything!

You got it right: all payment data is stored in the payment history records. Beware, though, that next release will come with a redesigned payment history system. It will still work with old records, but there will be 3 different kinds of payment historyes and, most importantly, there will be functions that will make far easier to deal with payment histories. For example, if what you’re trying to achieve is basically a list of all paid posts for each author, you’d only have to call get_author_payment_history( $author) to have it, and then just cycle through it and display it the way you need it.

The difference between ppc_count and ppc_payment is as follows. Say you have a post that in month A scored 500 visits, and was paid $5.00: ppc_count would hold the number of visits you paid (500) and ppc_payment the amount ($5.00, though without the currency). Now, why? Cause now the post gets 500 visits more in month B, but you raised the payment and you’re now paying $6.00. This allows two things:
a) when the payment history is displayed, numbers are correct. If we hadn’t stored that the first transaction was $5.00, current settings would value that same number of visits as $6.00, and the display would not be correct;
b) if we didn’t know the first trnsaction paid for 500 visits, but only that we paid $5.00, we could assume we owed $1.00 more, since the plugin now evaluates those visits as $6.00. For the due payment computation, it is not important how much he was paid, but for what and for what amounts he was paid for.

If verified is 1, it means the transaction was made through PayPal and that PayPal IPN reported back it was successfully executed.

Hope this helps!
Have a nice day,

I don’t know where to find documentation about the plugin (if there is some)

The client ask me to do a post list for each user that contains:
Post Title – Writing amount – Paid/Not Paid

I was seeing the code and I assumed that maybe all that data is in _ppcp_payment_history postmeta. But I have some doubts:
1- What is the difference between ppc_payment and ppc_count?
2- If verified is 1 it means that it has been paid?

Thanks in advance, and if you have dome documentation that I could read, please tell where!

Hi KJ,
you’re talking about the payment buttons in the stats page, right?

If so, please check the permissions for your user or, if you don’t have custom settings for you, the general permissions settings. Users can mark posts as paidand Users can see PayPal functions are the ones you should care for.

Does this helps?
Have a nice day,

Stefano,
Thanks for your response.
These new functionality you are working on, will have a function like I gave you in the example?

I mean for example, if I create a plugin and add this:

function new_function( $post ) {
    pay_to_user(get_current_user_id(),$post->ID, 0.25);
}
add_action(  'pending_to_draft',  'new_function', 10, 1 );

Where pay_to_user is a function of your plugin:

function pay_to_user( $user_id, $post,$amount ) {
//it pays the amount to the user
}

My question is to know if I will be able to assign an amount of cash to an user from every part of the site.

Hi Cedric,
That was indeed a bug, but it was fixed yesterday with version 2.35 🙂

Thanks. Version 2.35 fixes the problem 🙂

Have a nice day,

Hi Alma,
could you copy the HTML from the post editor, paste it in a text file and email it to me? That way I can try it myself 🙂

Have a nice day,
