Attention! – Geeks’ stuff ahead! 😉
<h4>API</h4>
Parameters can either be passed <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_parse_args" rel="nofollow ugc">as an array or a URL query type string (e.g. “display=0&format=0”)</a>. Please note that WordPress parses all arguments as strings, thus booleans have to be 0 or 1 if used in query type strings whereas for arrays <a href="https://secure.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php" rel="nofollow ugc">real booleans</a> should be used.
<code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_user($params=array())</code>
Counts the number of comments made by a user who is currently logged in or has a particular attribute.
$params:
<ul>
<li>
<code>user_attribute</code>: one of the user’s attributes (matching <code>query_type</code>), for example, the user_id or a WP_User object; if no user_attribute is given, will fallback to currently logged in user
</li>
<li>
<code>query_type</code>: corresponding SQL-field of user’s attribute or WP_User object; default is <code>user_id</code>
<ul>
<li>user_id</li>
<li>display_name</li>
<li>user_nicename</li>
<li>user_email</li>
<li>user_login</li>
<li>WP_User object</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<code>format</code>: if set to true (default), the output will be formatted using the attributes <code>zero</code>, <code>one</code>, <code>more</code> and <code>thousands_separator</code>; false = process plain count value
</li>
<li>
<code>zero</code>, <code>one</code>, <code>more</code>: for formatted output – %c gets replaced with the number of comments
<ul>
<li>‘zero’ => ‘0 comments’</li>
<li>‘one’ => ‘1 comment’</li>
<li>‘more’ => ‘%c comments’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<code>thousands_separator</code>: divides counts by thousand delimiters; default <code>,</code> => e.g. 1,386
</li>
<li>
<code>display</code>: if you want to return the count (e.g. for storing it in a variable) instead of echoing it with this function-call, set <code>display</code> to <code>false</code>; default setting is <code>true</code>
</li>
</ul>
The following example outputs the comment count of the user with the registered e-mail address ‘j.doe@example.com’.
<pre><code><?php

global $featuring_countcomments;

$params=array(
 'query_type' => 'user_email',
 'user_attribute' => 'j.doe@example.com'
);

$featuring_countcomments->count_by_user($params);

?>
</code></pre>
<code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_comment($params=array())</code>
Counts the number of comments made by a user who wrote a certain comment or the current comment in the comment-loop.
$params:
<ul>
<li>
<code>comment</code>: a comment object or comment id; if empty retrieves current comment
</li>
<li>
<code>format</code>: if set to true (default), the output will be formatted using the attributes <code>zero</code>, <code>one</code>, <code>more</code> and <code>thousands_separator</code>; false = process plain count value
</li>
<li>
<code>zero</code>, <code>one</code>, <code>more</code>: for formatted output – %c gets replaced with the number of comments
<ul>
<li>‘zero’ => ‘0 comments’</li>
<li>‘one’ => ‘1 comment’</li>
<li>‘more’ => ‘%c comments’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<code>thousands_separator</code>: divides counts by thousand delimiters default <code>,</code> => e.g. 1,386
</li>
<li>
<code>display</code>: if you want to return the count (e.g. for storing it in a variable) instead of echoing it with this function-call, set <code>display</code> to <code>false</code>; default setting is <code>true</code>
</li>
<li>
<code>in_loop</code>: if set to true (default), the query count for all user who wrote a comment which belongs to the post of the handed over <code>comment</code> will be cached; otherwise the comment count will be retrieved only for the user who posted the <code>comment</code>
</li>
</ul>
The following example outputs the number of comments of the author with the current comment in the comment loop:
<pre><code><?php

global $featuring_countcomments;

$featuring_countcomments->count_by_comment();

?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>

<pre><code>[featuring_countcomments_count_by_user query_type="user_nicename" user_attribute="xyz"] by xyz so far...
</code></pre>

<pre><code>featuring_countcomments_count_by_user
</code></pre>
Invokes <code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_user($params)</code>.
<pre><code>featuring_countcomments_count_by_comment
</code></pre>
Invokes <code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_comment($params)</code>.
<h4>Filters</h4>
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter" rel="nofollow ugc">How-To for filters</a>
General Example:
<pre><code>function my_featuring_countcomments_defaults($params=array()) {
 $params['query_type'] = 'user_nicename';
 return $params;
}

add_filter('featuring_countcomments_defaults', 'my_featuring_countcomments_defaults');
</code></pre>
Available Filters:
<pre><code>featuring_countcomments_defaults

In case you want to set the default parameters globally rather than handing them over on every function call, you can add the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter" rel="nofollow ugc">filter</a> <code>featuring_countcomments_defaults</code> in for example featuring-countcomments.php or your <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">own customization plugin</a> (recommended).
Please note that parameters which you hand over to a function call (<code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_user</code> or <code>$featuring_countcomments->count_by_comment</code>) will always override the defaults parameters, even if they have been set by a filter or in the admin menu.
