StackOverflow Profile

The Stackoverflow Profile Widget is a WordPress widget that displays a
summary of your profile on the Stackoverflow.com website. It shows your
reputation, the number and kind of medals you’ve achieved, and a
selected list of answers you have posted in StackOverflow. For each
answer, it displays the question’s title, the answer’s score, and
the time the answer was last edited.

You can limit the number of answer entries to display. You can sort the
list based on score or date.

The widget uses the StackExchange API, version 2.0, in order to retrieve
information.

It caches the content for a configurable period.

Requirements

• json_decode / json_encode must be available.
• PHP5.2 or higher
• StackOverflow API Key is optional (http://stackapps.com/questions/2/api-hello-world-code)

Acknowledgements

This plugin was initially based on and inspired by the Stackoverflow
Answers Widget from Mohammed Alsharaf. That code is licensed under the
New BSD license.

Under the terms of that license, I am acknowledging the origins of this
code. See the License-Alsharaf.txt file for full details.

This plugin differs from that one in that:

• it uses the official Stackexchange API
• it caches results properly
• it displays medal counts
• it uses a nicer skin
• can display upvoted answers, or any answers.

Thanks

Thanks for your interest!

• Fixed 2 bugs in soClient.php – wasnt properly filling cache files.

2012.06.18

• Now adds a “Latest” sort option, which grabs the most recently edited
  answers. This is in contrast to the “newest” sort option, which
  selects the answers with the most recent creation date. Also I removed
  the “oldest” sort option, because it was dumb.
• Refactored all interaction with Stackoverflow into a reusable SOEntity
  class and various other derived classes
• Fixed the caching to do it properly, in the SOEntity class.
