<h4>API</h4>
With GeneralStats 2.00 and higher you can use a function-call to display individual stat(-blocks) on different positions on your page.
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. Furthermore you have to use the prefix <code>stats_</code> to select different stats in a query_string. – For example: <code>stat_0=Community&stat_12=Pages Word-Count</code>.
<code>function $generalstats->count($params=array())</code>
$params:
<ul>
<li>
<code>stat</code>: a stat-id of the following list
<ul>
<li>0 => ‘Users’</li>
<li>1 => ‘Categories’</li>
<li>2 => ‘Posts’</li>
<li>3 => ‘Comments’</li>
<li>4 => ‘Pages’</li>
<li>5 => ‘Links’</li>
<li>6 => ‘Tags’</li>
<li>7 => ‘Link-Categories’</li>
<li>10 => ‘Words_in_Posts’</li>
<li>11 => ‘Words_in_Comments’</li>
<li>12 => ‘Words_in_Pages’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<code>thousands_separator</code>: divides counts by thousand delimiters; default <code>,</code> => e.g. 1,386,267
</li>
<li>
<code>display</code>: if you want to return the stats-information (e.g. for storing in a variable) instead of echoing it with this function-call, set this to <code>false</code>; default setting is <code>true</code>
</li>
<li>
<code>format_container</code>: This option can be used to format the <code>span</code> container with css. Please note, that it should only be used to provide individual formats in case the class-style itself cannot be changed.
</li>
<li>
<code>no_refresh</code>: If set to true, GeneralStats will not produce any Ajax-Refresh-code, even if you have enabled the Ajax refresh in the admin menu.
</li>
</ul>
The following example outputs the number of post tags:
<pre><code><?php

global $generalstats;

$generalstats->count('stat=6');

?>
</code></pre>
<code>function $generalstats->output($params=array())</code>
$params:
<ul>
<li>
<code>stat_selected</code>: this array has to hold the id of the selected stat as key and the description as array-value, e.g. <code>6 => 'Post-Tags'</code>; fallback to selected stats in Admin Menu
<ul>
<li>0 => ‘Users’</li>
<li>1 => ‘Categories’</li>
<li>2 => ‘Posts’</li>
<li>3 => ‘Comments’</li>
<li>4 => ‘Pages’</li>
<li>5 => ‘Links’</li>
<li>6 => ‘Tags’</li>
<li>7 => ‘Link-Categories’</li>
<li>10 => ‘Words_in_Posts’</li>
<li>11 => ‘Words_in_Comments’</li>
<li>12 => ‘Words_in_Pages’</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<code>before_list</code>: default <code><ul></code>
</li>
<li>
<code>after_list</code>: default <code></ul></code>
</li>
<li>
<code>format_stat</code>: default <code><li>%name %count</li></code>, %name and %count will be replaced by the attributes of the stat-entry
</li>
<li>
<code>thousands_separator</code>: divides numbers by thousand delimiters default <code>,</code> => e.g. 1,386,267
</li>
<li>
<code>use_container</code>: if set to <code>true</code> (default value) and the same selected stats and format is used as set in the admin menu, GeneralStats wraps the output in a html div with the class <code>generalstats-refreshable-output</code> – the class <code>generalstats-output</code> will be used for all other output; if you set <code>use_container</code> to <code>false</code>, no container div will be generated
</li>
<li>
<code>display</code>: if you want to return the stats-information (e.g. for storing in a variable) instead of echoing it with this function-call, set this to <code>false</code>; default setting is <code>true</code>
</li>
<li>
<code>format_container</code>: This option can be used to format the <code>div</code> container with css. Please note, that it should only be used to provide individual formats in case the class-style itself cannot be changed.
</li>
<li>
<code>no_refresh</code>: If set to true, GeneralStats will not produce any Ajax-Refresh-code, even if you have enabled the Ajax refresh in the admin menu.
</li>
</ul>
The following example outputs the users and posts-counts with the title ‘Community-Members’ and ‘My Post-Count’:
<pre><code><?php

global $generalstats;

$params=array(
 'stats_selected' => array(
 0 => 'Community-Members',
 2 => 'My Post-Count'
 )
);

$generalstats->output($params);

?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API" rel="nofollow ugc">How-to for shortcodes</a>
General Example:
Enter the following text anywhere in a post or page to show your current pages-count:
<pre><code>There are [generalstats_count stat=4] pages on my weblog
</code></pre>
Available Shortcodes:
<pre><code>generalstats_output
</code></pre>
Invokes <code>$generalstats->output($params)</code>. Please note that you have to use the prefix <code>stats_</code> to select stats. – For example: <code>stat_0="Community" stat_12="Pages Word-Count"</code>
<pre><code>generalstats_count
</code></pre>
Invokes <code>$generalstats->count($params)</code>.
<h4>Filters</h4>
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter" rel="nofollow ugc">How-To for filters</a>
Available Filters:
<pre><code>generalstats_defaults
</code></pre>
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>generalstats_defaults</code> in for example generalstats.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>$generalstats->output</code> or <code>$generalstats->count</code>) will always override the defaults parameters, even if they have been set by a filter or in the admin menu.
<pre><code>generalstats_dashboard_widget
</code></pre>
Receives an array which is used for the dashboard-widget-function call to <code>$generalstats->output($params)</code>. <code>display</code> and <code>use_container</code> will automatically be set to true.
<pre><code>generalstats_dashboard_right_now
</code></pre>
Receives an array which is used for the dashboard-right-now-box-function call to <code>$generalstats->output($params)</code>. <code>display</code> and <code>use_container</code> will automatically be set to true.
<pre><code>generalstats_mail_stats_content
</code></pre>
Receives an array which is used for the mail-stats-function call to <code>$generalstats->output($params)</code>. <code>display</code> and <code>use_container</code> will automatically be set to false.

<pre><code>generalstats_force_cache_refresh_stat
</code></pre>
Gets triggered by GeneralStats’ forced cache refresh; receives a stat-id as parameter.
<pre><code>generalstats_force_cache_refresh_stats
