Description

Having a number in the stats section of the dashboard that says XX,XXX spam comments caught would be cool, as people seem to love that sort of thing.

Would be trivial to add, I have something like that built into Spam Nuker.

$caught_spam = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = 'spam'");

It'd be much better if this was a more general feature, such as a plugin hook.

He wants it on the dashboard; why would it need to be a plugin hook? If you want to use it across multiple plugins or more than once in a plugin you could define it in my-hacks.php (ugly!) and put:

function list_caught_spam() {
    echo $wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(comment_ID) FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_approved = 'spam'");
}

then just put <?php list_caught_spam(); ?> wherever you want it.

#6 @Nazgul

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Version set to 1.5

This sounds like plugin territory to me.

If new hooks are needed in the core for this functionality, new tickets for those hooks should be created.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
