fantastic update, thank you, you've done some great work here :)

And thank you for testing :D

PS sabre, you might wanna download the released version and upload the threadoftheweek.php to your board, made some minor changes after your last test.

Another week passes and still waiting for this to work, either via cron or manually running cron :ermm:

I think this hack might do what I'm after but I'm curious about the rules.

Would I be able to create a rule so that the selection criteria is ... Select the first X amount of threads between date X & date Y sorted by descending (high to low) rating by replies by views?

It ran once for me and then never worked again even manually running the script and seems abandoned. I dunno.....

Not until date Y, but from date X until now. And yes, it can take the top X threads based on (configurable) replies and views.

@all who have problems.
What version are you running?
If you have problems, please post the version you're running, the settings for schedule you're using, the settings for the weights, and how often the cronjob is run.

How you mean abandoned? That the script don't work anymore, or that there is no support?

Please see my remark above, about posting your config in case of problems. If you want you can also send it to me by PM.

Sorry about that..... I am running 1.13 and getting database errors when running the cronscript:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM vb3_threadoftheweekpolloption
WHERE threadofweekrulesid = 1
mysql error: Table 'vb.vb3_threadoftheweekpolloption' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

It's inserting and extra vb into the table name for whatever reason.

So installed.

I?m in pre-launch and have 3 article bots posting day n night:) Let?s see whos most popular:D

Did you start with version 1.13, or did you upgrade from an older version (if upgrade, did you run the upgrade script?).

What do you mean with the "extra vb"? "vb is probably your databasename and "vb3_" your table prefix.
