Casey over at MaisonBisson has developed a sweet WordPress plugin called bstat. I’ve been using it since I installed WordPress as my blog. Well, one thing that is missing from the plugin that I decided I wanted was a search cloud (like a tag cloud, only for incoming searches)… I recently created a tag cloud on MasterWish so decided to use that. Here’s the function.
Special Functions
- bstat_search_cloud
Usage:
bstat_search_cloud(post_id, maxresults, days, starting_font_size);
- post_id is the post_id for the story, usually provided by a WP variable. A value of 0 is used for grabbing all search terms from any post
- maxresults is the number of search terms you wish to retrieve
- days is the number of days back to look
- starting_font_size is the starting font size of the smallest search term
Example:
<h3>All incoming search terms for this post</h3>
<small>< ?php bstat_search_cloud(0,50); ?></small>
Good stuff. I’m marking it for inclusion in the next release.
Hi
This is just what I am looking for, but how do I add it to my blog.
Some help would be great.

@Jamie
You need to have bsuite installed first. Once that is installed and running, simply refer to the example in this blog post.
is it add
‘;
$request=”select num from (select * from (select distinct(ref) ref,count(ref) num from wp_bstat_refs WHERE ref not like ‘http%’ and ref not like ‘www%’ AND bstat_date > ‘$date’ $post_id group by ref) t1 order by num desc limit 0,$maxresults) t2 order by num asc limit 0,1″;
if($row=$wpdb->get_results($request))
{
$divisor=ceil($row[0]->num/$starting_font_size);
$request = “select * from (select * from (select distinct(ref) ref,count(ref) num from wp_bstat_refs WHERE ref not like ‘http%’ and ref not like ‘www%’ AND bstat_date > ‘$date’ $post_id group by ref) t1 order by num desc limit 0,$maxresults) t2 order by ref”;
$rows = $wpdb->get_results($request);
foreach($rows as $row)
{
$tag=array(
‘ref’=>$row->ref,
‘num’=>$row->num
);
$rows2 = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM wp_bstat_refs WHERE ref=’”.$tag['ref'].”‘”);
$tag['link']=get_permalink($rows2[0]->post_id);
$tag['size']=10;
$tag['size']+=(floor(($tag['num']/$divisor)/$starting_font_size)*2);
$tag['size']=($tag['size']>30)?30:$tag['size'];
$tag['ref']=str_replace($search,$replace,$tag['ref']);
$text.=’‘.$tag['ref'].’ ‘.”\n”;
}//end foreach
$text.=”;
echo $text;
}//end if
}//end bstat_search_cloud
?>
to bsuite code?
i have the error after that..
I’ve been looking for bstat but I can’t find a valid url. including the one at MaisonBisson… is there any one who knows the valid url for downloading the bstat? if there’s a tutorial it would be very help full…. thanks..
Bstat has gone through a name change a while back and is now known as Bsuite. You can find it here
Can you gi give me bstat.zip ….
because i have download but it can’t be opened …
thx
hi Matt, I have install latest bsuite and activate it. but I do not know how and where to add “bstat_search_cloud” and “All incoming search terms for this post
” . can you give me detail steps, thank very much
Hi Matt
I am trying to adjust your code for bsuit4 so that I can show the incoming search cloud in my posts but am having no luck. I have adjusted you syntax as below but I get the following error
‘WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'post_id' in 'where clause']
select num from (select * from (select distinct(name) name,count(name) num from wp_bsuite4_hits_terms WHERE name not like ‘http%’ and name not like ‘www%’ AND post_id=1654 group by name) t1 order by num desc limit 0,50) t2 order by num asc limit 0,1′
Can you please tell me where I am going wrong and prefferably how to fix it? My code is below:
<?php
function bstat_search_cloud($post_id, $maxresults, $days=365, $starting_font_size=9)
{
global $wpdb, $bsuit4_hits_table;
$search=array(‘tag/’,'tags/’);
$replace=array(”,”);
$date = date(“Y-m-d”, mktime(0, 0, 0, date(“m”) , date(“d”) – $days, date(“Y”)));
$post_id=($post_id)?” AND post_id=$post_id”:”;
$text=”;
$request=”select num from (select * from (select distinct(name) name,count(name) num from wp_bsuite4_hits_terms WHERE name not like ‘http%’ and name not like ‘www%’ $post_id group by name) t1 order by num desc limit 0,$maxresults) t2 order by num asc limit 0,1″;
if($row=$wpdb->get_results($request))
{
$divisor=ceil($row[0]->num/$starting_font_size);
$request = “select * from (select * from (select distinct(name) name,count(name) num from wp_bsuite4_hits_terms WHERE name not like ‘http%’ and name not like ‘www%’ $post_id group by name) t1 order by num desc limit 0,$maxresults) t2 order by name”;
$rows = $wpdb->get_results($request);
foreach($rows as $row)
{
$tag=array(
‘name’=>$row-> name,
‘num’=>$row->num
);
$rows2 = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM wp_bsuite4_hits_terms WHERE name =’”.$tag['name'].”‘”);
$tag['link']=get_permalink($rows2[0]->post_id);
$tag['size']=10;
$tag['size']+=(floor(($tag['num']/$divisor)/$starting_font_size)*2);
$tag['size']=($tag['size']>30)?30:$tag['size'];
$tag['name']=str_replace($search,$replace,$tag['name']);
$text.=’‘.$tag['name'].’ ‘.”\n”;
}//end foreach
$text.=”;
echo $text;
}//end if
}//end bstat_search_cloud
?>
Thanks

Finnaly got this working (Yay me!) If anybody wants to know contact me via my website
Hello,
it didn’t worked for you , you are still gettings errors.
-DS
It is working fine. Look at the bottom of my individual posts. You will see incoming search terms linked to the post title.
The only problem I have left is excluding search terms which have key characters such as ‘\’. I need to escape these then everything will be perfect.
Nice job GadgetHeat , awesome !
It’s working fine …i was looking for posts where there wasnt’ any incoming searches…my bad.
Anway can you help me with this..i am struggling for this for last 2 weeks and haven’t done any progress. I have got bsuite plugin activated, and created a seprate function, then added that function into functions.php..but it doesn’t work .
Thanks !
Hi,
I was trying to contact you through your form on the website, but the page didn’t work, some php error… so I contacted an email address that I found on your website. Don’t know if it works.
Anyhow, can you help me with the solution? I’m stuck.
And did you solve the character issues? I for example have lots of articles containing the “-” character. Is this a problem? Or do I understand this wrong? Where is that character issue coming up?
Thank you for this special function. I’m looking for something to do search cloud like yours.
But there is a problem. Does this still work for the current bSuite plugin? If not… do you have any fix?
Thanks.
@GadgetHeat: care to share what needs to be done.
Anyone else got it to work ?
Any lead would be of great help.
