Top poster hack..

[vortech1]

We are running vBulletin Version 2.2.9 and looking for a hack that we can put in a date to find how many posts where made buy what users.. I thought this was something in VB but I seem to be wrong.. :)

Any one know of a simple hack that can do this.. Just need start date and end date and then list how many posts each of the top ten or what ever posts had in that time.. If it can work with VB 3.0 beta 7 as well would be good been thinking of upgrading.. ;)

Thanks..

Wrong destination.

This should be in the "Hack Request" forum.

You are seeking to input a "date" and get the "top posters" for that date? If I clarify correct?

Sorry about that was not sure were it would go.. Was not sure if it would be a "Request" or something already out there.. ;)

But yea thats what I am looking to do..

Hmmm.

I have no idea how it could be done, simply, that is.

vBulletin doesn't log (in MySQL backend) instances of member post counts. Not to say this can't be done, but it would require you to keep track of each member's post count per day.

Than you'd just have the user input a date, and return all matching post counts that fall at the date (or between two dates).

It's an interesting concept for a hack. Until vB3 RC is released, I wont be doing any serious hacking. ;)

p.s. that's not saying I plan to do this, but might consider a variation.

Hmmm, how does it get the top 10 posters for a site then?? I would think that would kind of run along the same lines.. Might be wrong not to good with how VB really does things in its backend..

Is there any simple way I guess just to see the number of posts made by members with in a time frame?? Its only for the admin side of things not really to display any thing but to us..

The top 10 posters thing of vBulletin does as it says: retrieves the top ten posters of your forum from the MySQL database.

There is no date involved. With vBulletin 3, though, you can filter it so that it will only retrieve people who were registered "before X" or who "last visted after y," etc. conditions. But, that will only give you the most up-to-date version of their post count. It wont give you their post count back at that date.

This is defiantly a statistics add on. vBulletin 3 really needs a new massive statistics hack, also. (not a ported vBStats!)

The Lounge is not the place for vBulletin questions. I've moved your thread to a more appropriate forum :)

Thanks for the help Velocd, I guess I will have to think of anther way to find who posted the most.. :) We did a contest to see for the most posts for like the next month wins something and I thought this hack was already in there.. LoL Guess I should of checked before..



Mist, thanks I was not to sure where it would go.. I will make sure to remember that next time.. ;)
