Top Posters List

[Paul M]

As of 24 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This displays a page with the Top Forum Posters for a given set of periods. Two periods are fixed ('This Month' & 'Overall') but can be turned off in the options. The other three periods are user definable (in days) - the default values are 1 day, 7 days & 28 days. These three columns cannot be turned off.

The number of posters to be shown can also be set, the default is the top 10 posters. You can also select which usergroups are included (or excluded) in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown.

If enabled, this will also attempt to add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.

To install just unzip the xml file and import it using the Product Manager


History:

v3.8.001 - First 3.8 release.
v3.8.002 - Changed auto links to choice of Quick Links or Community Links.
v3.8.003 - Index change (Never released).
v3.8.004 - Fix possible array issue.

Hi There,

I've installed the add-ons ... thanks for that. I'm new to vB - so my question might be too childish.

1. Top Posters link color is white - though other top nav links are black. How to change that?
2. Table data are aligned in center. How to aligned left?
3. Table data has alternate colors ... I want just table border color. No background color. How to do that?

Please find the link from my signature. Thanks in advance.

[lostguy]

Big fan your script ! Upgraded my older version.thanks

[ncangler]

Installed fine. Thanks for the update. I have one problem on one of my forum sites though. The post count for several members is in the millions! I don't know how that could have happened but is there a way to refresh the counters?

[ncangler]

Follow up... the numbers only seem to be off in the "Overall" column and they are all (4,294,967,295). :confused:

[Paul M]

The overall column is read straight from the user table, so it must have strange values in it.

[ncangler]

Very strange how those numbers could have appeared in only about a dozen user accounts. I opened each user account in the Admin CP and deleted the numbers there and all is back to normal now. Thanks for your help.

[ncangler]

Quick follow up Paul... if I only wanted a certain User Group to show up in the Top Posters display, what would I edit to make that happen? One of our forums transitioned to a subscription site and only a certain user group has access to post and participate now. I would like to limit the Top Posters display to that usergroup. Thanks for your help and for this great mod!

[Paul M]

What usergroups are counted is one of the settings in the mods options.

[ncangler]

Doh! Should have checked before asking. Awesome! Thanks Paul.

[Armyqt]

I added this but I don't see it displayed anywhere. Where should I see this?

[XxSparks]

Yea, this is strange, I hate to be a bother, but it's not displaying for me either anywhere, is that because of the daily 24 hour period before doing so?

I found mine under the community links. I really appreciate that it was installed in a drop down menu because with all of these mods, my navbar is out of whack. Now I have to work on that.

[XxSparks]

Oh ok :) perfect, thank you.

As the main post says ;

[cooltechie]

Bug? If I put 7, 14, 28 for days, the first column shows up as Last Day instead of Last 7 Days.

Also, how can I get rid of one column if I put 0?

You have to edit the phrase yourself.

Also, how can I get rid of one column if I put 0?
You cant.

[markblair]

This is perfect. Exactly what I needed. :) Thanks Paul.

[tylercruz]

Another great update Paul.

If I could make a request, it'd be to add an option to set a custom date range in the AdminCP. This would be extremely helpful for those running a posting contest, for example.

Thanks.

[smsoom]

Thanks Paul.

[dmknights]

Is it possible to have the counters update a thread automatically?

For example:

I Make a new thread called..... "Top Posters For April"

In the thread i put........

1st: Member a = 85
2nd: Member b = 60
3rd: Member c = 40

But everytime those members post more, theit ppost counts in that thread goes up

Is that possible?

[Paul M]

Nope.

[dmknights]

i wont be installing then

[tspaetten]

Install thanks

[TCWolf]

Hey, I'm brand new to this. I just downloaded the file, extracted the .zip file, but I don't know how to get this up on my site. Could anyone help me out?

[webmastersitesi]

thank you look good to me.

[MarceloS]

Excellent Mod! Installed!

I have the "This Month" column enabled, but I was wondering if there was a way to fetch "Last Month" data instead.

I looked at the code but couldn't find a way to hardcode it.

Can anyone help? ;)

[bestmilan]

Installed, thanks.

This would be cool if there were links to the posters profile page.

[4nawadir.com]

Great, Installed
Thanks ...

[hinomaru]

hello Paul,

I already installed this mod, but have some bug i think, for the post counting display.

here is the image :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/10.gif

in the image above, that written there at the first place.. last day total post = 13
That first column on the setting admincp i set it to 1, cause i want daily top poster list.
But after i check the Top Poster username's post...there only have 10 post on the last day, and another post are from 2 days ago, i don't know the other 3 post that written on the list come from where.....

And thats the same problem too with the second position Top Poster list

[bb911s]

Works Great,
Thanks

[ubcforums]

Thanks Installed :D
Good JOB !

[Bubble #5]

This would be cool if there were links to the posters profile page.

Yes, that's a very good idea :)

BTW - the mark as installed link does not work....

[Paul M]

Mark as installed works fine, must be your browser playing up.

[Bubble #5]

If it was the browser then it wouldn't be working now, which it is, so someone must have fixed it since last night. Thanks to whomever that is :)

[Paul M]

No one has fixed anything, no changes have been made to vb.org for weeks.

[Bubble #5]

Well then I don't know what to tell ya, we're using the same browser as last night so I guess there are goblins... it's working now.

[medicalforums]

I want to make a small modification to this great product
I want the formula ranking the posters to be
(post count + reputation level in number)

Can you guide me how to do that please?

[Paul M]

Just to clarify, you want to display the postcount, but have the top 10/20 based on PC + Rep ?

[medicalforums]

Just to clarify, you want to display the postcount, but have the top 10/20 based on PC + Rep ?

I want both,

I want the top posters table to display (and sort the members) according to a ranking number which is the product of [PC + Rep level], I will call it a ranking score and rename the page to Top Ranking Posters and explain to my members how it is the sum of PC and Rep.

Am running a big offer for the top ranked poster of the month, and I don't want to encourage spammers, you know posts like "thank you, woow, ...etc". This way they will know that they have to get some rep points in order to compete and so they have to come up with nice posts.

[Super-six]

Can top posters be routed to a sidebar widget?

Thanks :erm:

[Paul M]

There is no such thing as widgets in vb 3.8.

[Tettinntil]

How fuuuuun!!!! Love it!!!

[yilmaz68]

Thanks Paul M, installed.

[chikkoo]

Thanks Paul M.

Wonderful Mod, I love it.

I would be more happier if I could display this Top Posters page only to certain usergroups.

[Super-six]

There is no such thing as widgets in vb 3.8.

I think it would help if some screencaps were added.
Before installing I would just like to get a visual.
Thanks :erm:

[Paul M]

There is a screenshot in the 3.6 thread

Got it. Thank you. :erm:

[Dj Smuggla]

This looks great Paul thanks.
Is there a way to show the usernames with their group colors?
I was hoping it was as simple as changing $posts[username] to $posts[musername]

But it wasn't lol...

[Paul M]

No, there is no code for that in this as I recall.

[designguy]

Is there any way to add any other text into the page that is generated? Our board loves this mod, so we're using it for a posting contest. We want to add text to the page so when people bring up the link that they know about the contest, rules, etc.

[Paul M]

Just edit the main page template.

[designguy]

Thanks, got it.

[Naan-Kadavul]

any screens or live demo pls ?

[Paul M]

Look in the older version threads for a screenshot. You can also see it in action at Cable Forum.

[VB-Hunter]

it show me wrong post count for top poster !

[floggerss]

It didnt show me anything, it is installed and active, buy i think it didnt do the right template modifications.

[Paul M]

There are no template modifications needed.

[floggerss]

So why it isnt working. im using 3.8.1 . installed Ok.

[Paul M]

There is no way I can possibly answer that without access to your site.

[051119]

I don't suppose anyone knows if it's possible to exclude postcount increments from those where the setting ''Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts'' is set to ''No?''

[Scyther]

where does it appear when installed?

[Paul M]

As it says ;

If enabled, this will also attempt to add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links.

This is an option in the settings.

[alvaro_chi]

hace poco fue actualizado, gracias!

[Max Taxable]

This is excellent, thanks Paul. Worked right outta the box, no adjustments of any kind were needed.

[Jon12345]

Clicked marked as installed. Great plugin Paul!

Unfortunately I've removed it because I notice it has an outbound link at the bottom of the stats. Are we allowed to remove that link?

[Paul M]

If you ask nicely.

I would appreciate a small donation (your choice of value) if you did.

[Jon12345]

Pretty please Paul? :) I've already got a stats app on my forum but one guy just wanted to see his recent stats, thats all. I searched and thought yours was perhaps the best of the bunch. Nice work!

[Paul M]

Yes.

[Jon12345]

Thanks Paul!

[biftek]

is there are way i can make it so that only a usergroup (admin/supermod) can view the page

[Paul M]

Nope, there isnt such an option.
