qTop – top-pages with qTranslate-support

Multilingual WordPress-blogs are still a challenging task. The highly recommended qTranslate plugin takes a lot of burden of one’s shoulders and works suprisingly well with almost all aspects of WordPress.

With many plugins the situation is a lot less cozy. Some don’t cause trouble, others do. To display a list of top-pages on the sidebar I used to rely on a widget from the GD Simple Widgets-collection. But in conjunction with qTranslate it would just display the page-titles in different languages as one continous string. After taking a close look at it’s code it became clear that this couldn’t be changed without editing the plugin’s core.

A new and clean solution had to be found, and based on the extremly good Popularity Contest plugin by Alex King I just wrote it myself. I proudly present: qTop.

qTopist currently still a very(!) simple plugin to display the top sites in the sidebar with full qTranslate filtering . While it doesn’t differentiate between posts and pages it at least let’s you choose the number of displayed entries. I’ve got a lot of ideas on how to improve it and I think it has a lot of future potential. You can see it in action on the right.

You can download qTop here, or directly from the WordPress plugin-index.
