Hi Caddis. Great plugin! Is it possible to sort entries via the the share count e.g. orderby=”{exp:facebook_count:shares page=“url”}”

I am happy to donate towards you adding a facebook comment count tag?

Thanks!

Hey there, unfortunately the channel entries tag would not work with something like that. The orderby value would need to be a channel field to work natively. That would require keeping the Facebook count stored and synced on each entry which would be out of the scope of a small plugin like this. Alternatively a completely new tag pair could be written for the loop with a secondary table to store the count and relationship. Definitely possible, just not with this plugin.

Thanks
