$post[overallrank]

I've released 1.8.0 of this addon which is a small feature release.

The main purpose of this update is to introduce rollover rankings similar to what YouTube uses.

Rollover rankings can be enabled using the ratings dropdown option.

If you enable this option the template helpful_answers_roll will be used in place of helpful_answers. Please re-apply any customizations you may have made.

I have also updated the Top Helpful Answers page to include a new variable postusername as well as some hooks for other modifications.

1.9.0 will be coming next month and will include showing notifications when a post has been rated.

Noice Ted!

Ted - did ya see that part?

Thanks again for this great hack.

hmmm.... downloaded the new version but there is a sub folder listed as Helpful Answers 1.7. Is this correct?

Didn't change the zip properly. I'll repost it later but you're using the right copy.

Missed it.

What is your end goal with these variables in postbit?

gotcha, thanks!

To display the number of helpful posts a member has below their username.

Each post is saved as a distinct record so displaying this would require a query for every post (figure 10-50 queries per page which is a bad, bad thing).

The alternative option would be to extend the addon to update a user's profile every time their post is rated to store this.
