Wordpress + Traffic trading = impossible? - GoFuckYourself.com

Si · 10-23-2010, 11:11 AM

I've been trying to get traffic trading added to some sites for a while now.

Tried TP and no luck,

Tried SlothTrader and no luck,

Found http://www.wptoolz.com but the license is expensive. Can't see when it was last updated either.

Any viable options out there?

both tp and sloth work with wp ;)

Really? I get a huge box of errors! What's the correct way to include it?

I tried header, footer and index.php using <?php include "sloth_in.php"; ?> and it set off a ton of errors.

Agreeing with fris on this one. Ask the tp guys to install it for you.

Think I've got sloth working,

Just need to sort the toplist out now.

I ran TradeX on one of my WP tubes...easy to install and works like a charm.

Machete_ · 10-23-2010, 12:06 PM

it's very easy to get WP working with trade scripts

Si · 10-23-2010, 12:23 PM

Ok got this baby working now.

Doesn't seem to track productivity very well though. Will try a few others out later now I know where to put the thing to get it working.

i run tp on my wp sites.

Nasty · 10-23-2010, 02:20 PM

I run TradeX on several wordpress blogs using a normal php include once in the header.php file

TradeX is a decent script and is very easy to set up.

Si · 10-23-2010, 04:08 PM

Running quite nicely with sloth on one blog

Tried TP on another and it didn't like it. Tried logging in via domain.com/tp/login.php and got a 404 error.

No problem with slothtrader at all.

Can you put the toplists into widgets? Or don't that work. got it on the main index page fine so not to worried about that. But might be a nice addition

Anyone know if this is possible/how to do it?

I don't use any trade scripts on my WP installs, so this is a random, five-beers-later response...

You may have to modify your theme's function.php file to widgetize your toplost. I'd try tossing something like this into my sidebar.

Off the top of my head:

Code:

<div class="mysidebarclassgoeshere">
<h3><?php _e('Toplist'); ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php include "/pathto/mytoplist.php"; ?>
</ul>
</div>

You'll need to set up your toplist template to have <li></li> instead of <td></td> for this to work, but I'm just throwing it out there. I didn't try it.

Bump for you, but I feel like I'm missing something...

Si · 10-23-2010, 05:50 PM

Thanks Garce will try that out

I'm heading your way on the beer front so things will be making less sense to me shortly aswell

DVTimes · 10-23-2010, 05:50 PM

Better try it out before you get too deep into the beer. It makes sense to me now, but by tomorrow morning, who knows?

I just use a php widget and use a standard php include for my toplists

$75 for something your not sure will work in 6 months time isn't something I'm interested in purchasing.

Had that problem befores, bought a plugin that looked really good, worked fine then when a new version of wordpress came out it didn't work, and wasn't updated.

$60 down the drain at the time.

So yeah, not knowing who runs it, and if it will get updated could become expensive.

Si · 10-24-2010, 07:36 AM

Ok sloth is running perfectly.

Added it to my widegets using a simple bit of code in sidebar.php

<ul>
<?php include "sloth_toplist/toplist2.html"; ?>
</ul>

Posting that here for anyone else who may want to do it
