As far as I know, this was done. :)

Quick question re the functionality of this. I think I know the answer, but wanted to check first --

Can I use this mod to set up a separate page which lists all the most replied to threads which were started in the last week?

Thanks!

You can see a list of the most replied to threads, from which you can add to the featured list, but it won't auto-add only from the last week.

Darnit. Thanks for the reply!

Hi Mark, I am having a similar, though not the exact same, problem and wonder if I should replace this file too? Or if you have another suggestion.

This happens when I try to reorder the threads. Here is my error message:
Thanks again for this awesome mod!

Yes, try doing the replacement, and let me know if that works or not. If not, we can go from there. :)

Thank you! That seems to have worked beautifully. I can now reorder the threads without the SQL error.

Additional question if you don't mind... Is it possible to see how many nominations each thread received? It's entirely possible I'm missing something obvious.

Also, I am not sure what the "Rating Threshold" in the Nominations setting means and how it correlates to the "Votes Threshold".

I have the settings on Auto-Add Featured threads but that's adding an awful lot of threads at the top of my forum. Is it possible to limit the number of threads to 5 or 6 if I use Auto-Add?

Great...glad to hear it. :)

You should see how many nomination each thread has received when you open up the list of nominated threads. Only those who have been designated as managers can do this...but since you are reordering threads, you are a manager already.

Also, if you hover your mouse over the number of nominations, a tooltip will show you a list of users who have nominated the threads.

The "Rating Threshold" is the minimum rating average a thread must have before being including in the "User-Rated Threads" list. The "Votes Threshold" is the minimum number of votes a threads must have before being included.

For example, you might wish to only have 5 star threads in the list, but you want a thread to have at least 5 votes as well, this way you don't see those that have only gotten a small number of votes.

The only way to limit the number is to use the option "Yes, And Penultimate Thread Is Removed"...this way when the newest thread is added, the previous auto-added thread is removed.

I don't have a way to limit this by number.

I use this feature at MHB for our "Problem Of The Week" forums...when a new problem is posted in one of our problem categories (High School/University/Post-Grad), last week's problem is auto-removed, and the new problem is auto-added. :)

The User Nominated & Featured tables are different on my forum. I am trying to find a way to sort the threads by number of nominated votes (or at least know how many votes they got) so that when I manually add new ones, I have a little more visibility into which ones to eliminate.

First I couldn't get people to use it on our new forum and suddenly they're using it everywhere so your add-on is a major success!

Thank you.

This will make things difficult when our forum gets busy. Would you be available to tailor this for our needs when donations start rolling in? We'd compensate you of course. One feature I'd love is the ability to put these in a couple of widgets on the CMS. I hope I didn't break any VB rules by asking that!

(on edit, I found the admin setting for "Yes, And Penultimate Thread Is Removed" but I'd still like it tailored ;) )

You should see the number of nominations in the leftmost column in that table when you click the button to view it. There is no option to turn that column off.

The threads in that table are automatically sorted in descending order by the number of nominations they receive, and in the event of a tie, the threads are sorted within the members of the tie by threadid, so that the older threads are displayed first.
