How Can I Use the ShorCode?

Simple just add [user_rank] in your post content and if you want to get the rank of another user (default is post author) then just set user_id to the id of the user who’s rank you want eg: [user_rank user_id="23"]

How Can I Use the Top ranked ShorCode?

Once again very simple just add [user_rank_top] which will get you a list of top 5 ranked users, you can change the number , item wrapper and container eg: [user_rank_top number="20" container="ol" item_wrapper="li"]

How Can I Style, Design the shortcodes output?

Both Shortcodes use a simple templating system which takes tokens and replaces them with the user data eg:
[user_rank]

[user-firstname] [user-lastname]
[title]
[points]

[/user_rank]

Just make sure you enter the template after the shortcode tag and add aclosing tag.

Nice, what are the shortcode template tokens that I can Use?

• [title] – prints the user’s rank title
• [points] – prints the user’s points
• [user_login] – prints the user’s login
• [user_nicename] – prints the user’s nicename
• [user_email] – prints the user’s email
• [user_url] – prints the user’s URL
• [user_firstname] – prints the user’s First name
• [user_lastname] – prints the user’s last name
• [user_description] – prints the user’s description/bio

How Can I Use the Top ranked template tag?

get_top_users($number);
foreach($top_users as $u){
$user_info = get_userdata($u[‘user_id’]);
echo “User: “.$user_info->user_login. ” Points: ” . $u[‘points]. ” Title: “. $u[‘title’]. “
“;
}?>

Nothing is happening, whats Wrong?

Nothing you just need to call the plugin in your theme file something like this:

<?php $baur_plugin = new baur_Plugin();
$user_rank = $baur_plugin->ba_get_user_points($user_id);
echo "Points: " . $user_rank;?>

And you must set $user_id

Why do i get just the points?

You need to pass another parameter to the ‘ba_get_user_points’ function (Boolean , default false) to get an array that contains both Title and Points.
ba_get_user_points($user_id,true);
echo “title: “. $user_rank[‘title’] . “Points: ” . $user_rank[‘points’];?>
Once again you must set $user_id

Hot can i get top ranked users?

use get_top_users method with the number of top users you want , for example to get the top 5 use:
get_top_users(5);
foreach ($top_users as $user){
$user_info = get_userdata($user[‘user_id’]);
echo $user_info->user_login . ” title: “. $user_rank[‘title’] . “Points: ” . $user_rank[‘points’];
}
?>
