<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>

With this plugin, you can gather statistics on clicks for file downloads or any other link across the site.
To insert a file download block, use the <code>[download url="any file URL"]</code> shortcode.
The plugin does not include additional tools for uploading files. All files must be uploaded using the standard WordPress media uploader. The URLs are then used to create the download block.
Additionally, the plugin includes:
<ul>
<li>A button in the visual editor for quickly inserting the file download block shortcode.</li>
<li>A customizable widget that allows you to display a list of “Top Downloads” or “Top Link Clicks.”</li>
</ul>

Kama Click Counter
