This plugin allows you to display Folding@Home Stats for you or your team in a shortcode or widget.
== Description ==
This plugin retrieves stats from the Folding@Home API and displays them on your WordPress Website. You can display stats for your donor account or for a Folding team. You can show the stats in your sidebar as a widget or in your content area as a shortcode. The following stats are shown:
- Work units.
- Total credit in points.
- Ranking.
- Date you completed the last work unit.
- Teams you are a member of/Donors who contribute to your team.
It takes less than a minute to setup. All you need is your donor or team ID. The stats are displayed as a HTML table.
= What is Folding@Home? =
Folding@home is a project run by Stanford University which allows anyone to assist with disease research by donating their unused computer processing power. Your processing power is used to simulate protein folding, a process whereby proteins assemble themselves into tools which your body can use. Joining in is a doddle; simply download the F@H software to get started. Find out more at the Folding@Home website.
You can see an example at https://www.phoenixwebdev.com.au/display-folding-at-home-stats-wordpress-plugin/ which is also our announcement post.

== Making Changes ==
- If you just want to change how something looks, the table elements are full of classes you can target with CSS. The plugin itself includes a small amount of CSS which you can easily overwrite.
- I've sprinkled in some WordPress filters so you can change things.
- You can overwrite the templates in the plugin by adding your own templates in your theme. Create a folder in your theme called
phoenix-folding-at-home-stats
and add templates in there. So for example if you want to overwrite the donor table, you would create a PHP file -wp-content/themes/yourtheme/phoenix-folding-at-home-stats/donor.php
and make your own table in there. - Contact me at the support forums or our website with your desired change. If it's good I will probably add it in.
== Frequently Asked Questions == = Does it cost money? =
No. The plugin is free. The Folding@Home software is free. The only real cost is electricity usage while your computer processes calculations.
= Does it really make a difference? =
Yes, but we don't have nearly enough people contributing. Read this, this and this.
