Top XX Posters this week... (anyone?)

[Cloughie]

This would be a cool idea..

NOrmally on a forum you tend to get 10 or so people that ALWAYS post more and are so far ahead the top XX posters overall doesnlt ever change..

If it reset each week it would give newbies a chance to have their name on there..

Can this be done?

Pretty please? :D

[amykhar]

That is an AWESOME idea. :)

[Cloughie]

Anyone ? :D

[Cloughie]

yahoooo! :D

Firefly whiped up some code for this one..


<?php

error_reporting(7);

require("./global.php");

// how many users would like to display?
$usernum="10";

// path to your vBulletin? (no trailing slash please)
$pathtovb="http://www.wannabebigforums.com";

// timeframe? (in days)
$days="7";

$userlist="";

$datecut=time()-($days*24*60*60);
$allusers=$DB_site->query("SELECT userid,username,COUNT(postid) AS count FROM post WHERE dateline>='$datecut' AND userid<>'0' GROUP BY userid ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT $usernum");
while ($user=$DB_site->fetch_array($allusers)) {
$userlist.="<tr>\n <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt\"><a href=\"/member.php?&action=getinfo&userid=$user[userid]\" style=\"color: #336699\">$user[username]</a></td>\n <td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt\">$user[count]</td>\n</tr>\n";
}

echo "<table>";
echo "$userlist";
echo "</table>";

?>





Thanks Firefly!!!!!!!!

[soceris]

thats a neat idea but where wud u put that code???

[maverick1236]

How would i make that actively show in forumhome?
:)

[Bender]

yep, works like a charm, thanks Firefly! :)

[JamesUS]

Put it in it's own PHP file...to include in forumhome, open your 'phpinclude' template and change the file paths to the new file you just made, then use the variable from phpinclude in the template.

[maverick1236]

theres hardly any code in my phpinclude template

and whats the name of the variable to insert in forum home?

[Cloughie]

ok go to your phpinclude file...

add the following

ob_start();
require("/home/xxxxxx/www/new.php");
$noreplytopic = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

where /home/xxxxxx/www/new.php = the path to the file with the code in...

Also $noreplytopic = the variable you wish to use.

You will also need to remove this line in the code if you are going to be doing this:

require("./global.php");

If you need any help let me know

Just making some stuff clear:
This is very dynamic.
It won't count all your posts since last Sunday (or Monday), it will count all your post in the last 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes or 604800 seconds.

[maverick1236]

I actually integrated it with another hack!

[amykhar]

I am trying to exclude mods and admins from the list, but am not having much luck.

Does anybody know the correct syntax?

Amy

[soceris]

i can't seem to find phpinclude anywhere on my system. :confused: I had VB installed for me by VB so its as they structure it but i can't find it. Can anybody tell me where it is please.

[amykhar]

It's a template. You will find it with your header and footer templates for each style.

Amy
p.s. I solved my little problem - check it out :)

soceris,
I already told you. It's not a file, it's a template.

Before you start hacking your board, take a little time to look around, get familiar with the code and the template system. Otherwise, a simple copy and paste error while installing a hack could end up breaking your board.

[Admin]

soceris, Amy already said it is a template, not a file.
The template name is phpinclude.

Alright, that does it! :p

[soceris]

hmmm its all so confusing

i'm curious to start improving things straight away and i will always back things up n e way

in this case where are templates located the if they ain't with the files

sorry to sound stupid but it is confusing

[Cloughie]

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/admin" target="_blank">http://www.yourdomain.com/admin</a>

Your control panel right?

Then down the left you will see "templates"

edit or add..

Click edit and then expand the default list and there should be one called phpinclude...

Although if you don't know very much don't go messing about in things ya don't know lol

I would be willing to help ya out and do it for you if you wanna shoot over your details..

[soceris]

Ok, I'm not familiar with the noreplytopic variable. Can someone give me an example of what this would be?

Thanks

[Prince]

Is there any way to exclude admins from being displayed?
