Hello!
Can I use your Plugin to display in the user profile, the number of articles added to them?
If yes, please tell me how to do this?

Hi evlebedev,

Yes you can use this plugin to do that. This is the MySQL query you will need to get that result:

SELECT count(*)
FROM #__content
WHERE created_by = {USERID}


I hope this helps :)

This is actually kind of perfect, the limit is our imagination (so there must be no limit).

Thanks!!!

Hello!

I try to list the attachments related to the users in a separate tab. I do this:
SELECT filename, modification_date FROM #__attachments WHERE uploader_id={USERID}
But I can see only the first attachment at the profile. What can be wrong with my setup?

Thanks.

Hi Attila,

When I built this plugin, I only needed it to return 1 result, so if many were returned it would only display the first. You could try using the MySQL Concatenate functions with nested SELECT statements for each argument but this would only work for a predefined number of results and wouldn't be very efficient.

A better way would be to modify the plugin to deal with more then 1 result. This shouldn't be too difficult but I don't have the time right now to do it. However, I can see this feature being very useful and it will defiantly be included in my next version.
