If you want to help out you can do so over at the GitHub page:
https://github.com/bhadaway/SocialStats-WordPress-Plugin
A plugin to collect, combine and display FeedBurner, Facebook and Twitter subscriber/fan/follower stats.
Download and test plugin from here.
I'm working on the plugin version of the following script:
http://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/how-to-get-facebook-twitter-and-rss-counts-wp/
(with permission of its writer of course)
As you'll find out quickly I'm not a programmer myself, only a web and graphic designer. So when it comes to programming it's experimental and I usually need help.
So if anyone agrees that this would make a great plugin and would like to collaborate (and receive an added credit of course) take a look at the code I have so far below.
From a PHP programmers perspective you can probably see the basic concept of my attempt;
- Settings page and option saving is working and in place
- The code is being delivered to the front-end (perhaps in the wrong place)
- However I'm sure there are some logic and syntax errors
- The main problem I'm sure is that the attempted delivery of:
<?php echo ss_feedburner; ?>
<?php echo ss_facebook; ?>
<?php echo ss_twitter; ?>to the front-end is incorrect for a number of reasons.
The second main part see below main plugin code.

<div class="wrap">
<h2>SocialStats Settings</h2>
<em>Note: This doesn't work for personal Facebook profiles, only pages. To convert your profile to a page you can use <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php?migrate" target="_blank">this tool</a>.</em>
<form method="post" action="options.php">
<?php settings_fields( 'ss-settings-group' ); ?>
<?php do_settings_sections( 'ss-settings-group' ); ?>
<table class="form-table">
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row">FeedBurner<br /> <small>(<em><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/bryanhadawaysblog" target="_blank">feeds.feedburner.com/<strong>bryanhadawaysblog</strong></a></em>)</small></th>
<td><input type="text" name="ss_feedburner" value="<?php echo get_option('ss_feedburner'); ?>" /></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<th scope="row">Facebook<br /> <small>(<em><a href="http://www.facebook.com/calmestghost" target="_blank">facebook.com/<strong>calmestghost</strong></a></em>)</small></th>
<td><input type="text" name="ss_facebook" value="<?php echo get_option('ss_facebook'); ?>" /></td>

</table>
<p class="submit">
<input type="submit" id="submit" class="button-primary" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Save Changes'); ?>" />
</p>
</form>
</div>
<?php } ?>Now the PHP delivery of this code to front-end would be:
<?php
$sum = ss_get_transient('rss') + ss_get_transient('facebook') + ss_get_transient('twitter');
echo $sum;
?>If I spent a little time on that I'm sure I could figure out the code to make it usable as a shortcode. But, if someone would like to collaborate that would save a lot of time.
Also, if you think we should add LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, MySpace etc support let me know.
