  1. It's pretty obvious that you dislike people who don't like learning the way you may find the "proper" way of learning. That's fine. I never expected, nor insinuated that it was an easy business. What people like you refuse to understand is that everyone learns differently. I've done research, enough to know that modern day coders don't buy/read "manuals" anymore, they just roll up their sleeves and start writing. The market for said manuals has been dropping since 2008 because of this, and many blogs have talked about it. That's why I thought I had a snowballs chance in hell at teaching myself by just playing with code. Please don't try to insult me or anyone for that matter just because they learn differently than you. You might know what you're doing, but you didn't invent PHP or deputize the way its learned. Thanks. When I say "raw text" I mean the information from that echo actually shows up, and in the order it says. But its just plain as in: Avatar Name Credits Avatar Name Credits What I'd like is to toss in some html tables so they are wrapped inside something instead of just showing up as a list of text, if that makes sense. I appreciate your ACTUAL help on this, but I won't be returning to this topic for further discussion, or this forum. I'm going to try to find another community that would rather take the time to help me learn instead of complain about the way I learn. Thanks again Maxxd!
  2. Like I said in the post, I am literally just starting to learn. I've tried watching videos, reading books but they don't help. I've always been a on-hand learner and learn better if I just mess with it myself. The author doesn't actually update this, its just a custom code that can be inserted into the functions.php file, if there WAS an update to the code, I would have to manually change the code myself. All it does is add a custom widget to the WordPress dashboard that you can add to a sidebar to output the information. Problem is I can only get it to spit out raw text. I would love to get it to show in a table instead, but everything I try gives me syntax errors. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
  3. So I am literally a newborn here when it comes to php. I have been working on editing someone elses open code from github as practice, but can't seem to get what I'd like done. The code takes information from a plugin from WordPress, and spits it out in raw form for people to see publicly. What I am trying to figure out, is how to take the same information, and wrap it inside an index table so it doesn't look like just plain text. Was hoping someone could help me out and explain how they done it so I can practice myself. The code is below. /** * Custom myCRED Widget: This weeks leaderboard * This widget will show this weeks leaderbaord with the option to set * a title, the number of users to include and if it should be visible for * non-members. * @install Paste into your theme or child-themes functions.php file or custom plguin. * @author Gabriel S Merovingi * @version 1.3 */ add_action( 'mycred_widgets_init', 'mycred_load_this_weeks_leaderboard_widget' ); function mycred_load_this_weeks_leaderboard_widget() { if ( ! class_exists( 'myCRED_Widget_This_Weeks_Leaderboard' ) ) { class myCRED_Widget_This_Weeks_Leaderboard extends WP_Widget { // Constructor public function __construct() { parent::__construct( 'mycred_widget_this_weeks_leaderboard', sprintf( __( '(%s) This weeks Leaderboard', 'mycred' ), mycred_label() ), array( 'classname' => 'widget-mycred-this-weeks-leaderboard', 'description' => __( 'Show the leaderboard for a given timeframe.', 'mycred' ) ) ); } // Widget Output (what users see) public function widget( $args, $instance ) { extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP ); // Check if we want to show this to visitors if ( ! $instance['show_visitors'] && ! is_user_logged_in() ) return; // Get the leaderboard $leaderboard = $this->get_leaderboard( $instance['number'], $widget_id ); // Load myCRED $mycred = mycred(); // Start constructing Widget echo $before_widget; // Title (if not empty) if ( ! empty( $instance['title'] ) ) { echo $before_title; // Allow general tempalte tags in the title echo $mycred->template_tags_general( $instance['title'] ); echo $after_title; } // Construct unorganized list for each row echo '<ul class="mycred-this-weeks-leaderboard">'; foreach ( $leaderboard as $position => $data ) { $avatar = get_avatar( $data->user_id, 32 ); echo '<li>' . $avatar . $data->display_name .
