Metronet Log provides a WordPress API for date-based data storage based on a user ID. It's up to the developer to implement the actual logging and data retrieval, but the plugin provides many helper methods (described below).
This plugin is strictly designed as an API for data storage and retrieval. It's up to the developer to parse and present this data to the end user.
###Does the plugin work with Multisite###
Yes. The plugin and its helper plugin can be network-activated.
For storing site-specific actions, we recommend doing what WordPress does, which is to append the site id to the data type.
For example:
$mt_log = new Metronet_Log();
//134 is the site id
$mt_log->add_log_value( $user_id, 'test_134_delete', 'site value' );###Adding a Log Item###
//Assumes $user_id variable is set
//This snippet checks to see if a user has marked their subscription as active or inactive
if ( class_exists( "Metronet_Log" ) ) {
$log = new Metronet_Log();
if ( $is_subscribed ) {
$log->update_log_value( $user_id, 'active', 'true', date( 'Y-m-d 00:00:00' ) );
} else {
$log->update_log_value( $user_id, 'active', 'false', date( 'Y-m-d 00:00:00' ) );
}
}###Retrieving Log Values###
if ( class_exists( "Metronet_Log" ) ) {
$log = new Metronet_Log();
$active_inactive_results = $log->get_log_values( 'active', $date_beginning, $date_end );
foreach( $active_inactive_results as $result ) {
if ( $result->value == 'true' ) {
//Do something if active
} else {
//Do something if inactive
}
}
}Metronet Log adds a site-wide table to your WordPress database.
| Column | Type | Null |
| log_id | bigint(20) | No |
| user_id | bigint(20) | No |
| date | datetime | No |
| type | varchar(255) | No |
| value | longtext | Yes |
Think of the table above as the same as the WordPress usermeta table, only with dates attached. That, and the keys (renamed type) can be repeated.
The fields user_id, type, and datetime are considered unique when querying together since it is assumed there cannot be two activity types for a user on the same date and time.
