Good work. I learned a lot by seeing this hack on some forums. I even made friends. :nervous:. I'll probably be using this hack too.

I've noticed on mine, that some avatars appear, and others don't. It seems that the smaller avatars appear, but the larger ones don't - but I'm not sure if size is the defining factor.

Some modifications to my hack (just download the files again):

Added support for default avatars (not the ones uploaded by the user but the ones the administrator has configured in the forum)

You can now use any user or userfield variable in the memberoftheday template.




About your question of moderators being ignored I suggest you increase the value of $days to something really high. Sometimes mysql is not very good at random numbers... In my forum sometimes some member is elected twice very quickly and some other members are still waiting their turn.

update works great!

Thanks Kentaurus.

Thank You!
The avatars are still not showing (just the small ones)
I changed the number of days from 30 to 90, so we'll see if that helps
Also, how do you write the syntax to include field5 in the template?
I tried just: $field5
but it doesn't work.
Thanks much!

Just wait for the next member of the day to be generated, I expect then the avatar will be visible.

You need to use $mday[field5], please let me know if that works as expected.

Do you know of a way to get the tasks list to generate a page so that people could see all of the previous members of the day?

Hmm... or maybe just do an automatic entry on the calendar so people can see it that way.

i just installed it
everything is fine except the users avtars are not getting display :)

i think they are using custom avtars on forum..
any ideaz to fix this.

Thnx.
Sandy...

pretty weird
but as stated in ur above post. it will work after 1 day and it does ;)


however here is one question.
My forums are hosted in us (TIME HERE IS GMT - 8:00) and my forums people are located in india (GMT + 5:30)

When the clock strike 1:00 pm afternoon here, member of day gets changed. and not @ midnight 12:00
How do i change this,
Its kinda buggy that i changes @ afternoon when almost 13 hours have passed away.

Sandy...

Change the hour in the cron job. Instead of having it at 0 hour substract 13 hours so it can change just at midnight.
