Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Find out what posts logged-in users found helpful.

Have you ever wanted to know about the quality of your posts? At least a little bit?

This is exactly when That Was Helpful kicks in.

This simple plugin lets you track how many logged-in users found individual posts helpful.

Usage

What this plugin is all about is providing a means to mark individual posts helpful. Each unique user can vote only once for each post. Of course, cast votes can be retracted.

Actions

In case you want to show the form depending on some (complicated) condition (and not always), simply wrap do_action( 'that_was_helpful', $optional_post_id ) in the condition, and put it in your desired template file(s). If you provide an existing post ID as parameter, the according post’s votes are displayed. Otherwise the current post is used.

Filters

In order to customize certain aspects of the plugin, it provides you with several filters. For each of these, a short description as well as a code example on how to alter the default behavior is given below. php file or your customization plugin, or to some other appropriate place.

that_was_helpful_capability

Managing the plugin’s settings is restricted to a certain capability, which is by default manage_options.

/** * Filters the capability required to manage the settings. * * @param string $capability Capability required to manage the settings. */ add_filter( 'that_was_helpful_capability', function() { return 'edit_users'; } );
