Bug Fixes

• Issue: The Contribution ranking feature on My Steemit Friends was not working, because it was using the steemJS interactive API which is currently not working.

This is the error message that showed up.

• Solution: I re-coded the whole feature to obtain the data using a different method.
  Old Method: Using PHP cURL in getdollars.php to connect to the interactive API at https://api.steemjs.com. This file has been deleted because it is no longer needed.
  New Method: I connect to the new Steem API node at https://api.steemit.com directly using SteemJS and Javascript, bypassing the interactive API, in upvotelist.php.

New Features

• Show, Hide ranking list buttons.
• Calculator to add up contributions.
• Added voting percentage and table formatting in contribution ranking.
  To test out these new features, please follow the instructions below.

Please go to http://mysteemitfriends.online. Enter your username, then click on "Upvote Stats".

Then click on the number of articles upvoted by a specific user to get to the upvotelist.php page.

Once you are on this page, click on the new button "Show Contribution Ranking & Add to Calculator".

After you click Show Contribution ranking, you will see the following screen.

As you click on more ""Show Contribution Ranking & Add to Calculator" buttons for more articles, you can see that the Calculator at the top of the screen calculates how much the voter has contributed towards your articles.

You can also click on the white Show Full Ranking List button which will show you how much everyone has contributed as well as their voting percentage towards your article.

• How did you implement it/them?
  As shown in the file upvotelist.php, When the "Show Contribution Ranking & Add to Calculator" is clicked, I use SteemJS to retrieve the data on the total payout value of each article as well as how much each voter has contributed towards your article in rshares. I then divide the rshares of each voter by the total rshares of this article to get the percentage of contribution by each user, and then multiply the percentage by the total payout value to get each user's payout contribution. I then add the voter's payout contribution to the calculator at the top and display the full ranking list on the page using a table.
