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>
