Get Most Shared Posts Object
One of the most powerful feature of MashShare for a developer is the capability to get the shares of every single post for further development purposes like a Most Shared Posts widget. You can query the share values with the code below:
/**
* Get Most Shared Posts Collection
*
* @param array $query_args Query arguments.
*
* @return array
*/
function prefix_mashshare_get_most_shared_query_args( $query_args ) {
$defaults = array(
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'ignore_sticky_posts' => true,
'meta_key' => 'mashsb_shares',
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
// This way we can be sure that only "shared" posts will be used.
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'mashsb_shares',
'compare' => '>',
'value' => 0,
),
),
);
$query_args = wp_parse_args( $query_args, $defaults );
return $query_args;
}
