Top Posters List
 

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This displays a page with the Top Forum Posters for a given set of periods. Two of the periods are fixed ('This Month' & 'Overall') but can be turned off in the options. The other three periods are user definable (in days). The default values for these columns are 1 day, 7 days & 28 days (note that 0 = off).

* The number of posters to be shown can be set, the default is the Top 10 posters.
* You can select which usergroups are included (or excluded) in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown
* You can exclude individual userids such as rss posters.
* You can exclude forums from the counts - however, this exclusion does not apply to the final "overall" count.
* If enabled, this will also add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links menus.
* There is an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.
* Usergroup & forum settings now display actual lists rather than needing csv id lists.

To install just unzip the xml file and import it using the Product Manager

Very Nice work Pual, Rated 5 stars :)

Marked as installed. And rated 5 stars. Thank you very much for this, pal. Very helpful for my 'Posters Of The Week' :D

Paul M,

Thanks for the mod
Please, find in attachment the french translation
You can find the french topic for this mod here: http://forum.vbulletin-fr.org/modifi...s-plus-bavards

I get this error:

MySQL Error : MySQL server has gone away
Error Number : 2006

Works well, however, the list seems a bit odd - would love to be able to define the following

- last day
- last week (7 days)
- last month (28 days)
- last year (365 days)
- overall

But I can't seem to get this to work and when I do think I've got it the order is skewed

Only the first three columns can have their time period defined, so you cannot do the above.

Installed.

Paul, how about an option to exclude certain userid's ? I'd like to get my RSS bot off there if I could.

Hmmm, seems reasonable, I will consider that.

Great! :D

nice one

Thanks for this, I need something like this for a posting contest, but I want to exclude posts in some forums from being counted, can you add this feature ?

I'll consider that for the next update.

<u>4.0.3</u>

Updated settings display.
Added forum exclusion facility.

Thanks a lot!! Marked as installed & I will be testing it :)

I just installed this product - but it's only displaying user names.

Check the screenshot below.

Any suggestions?

installed, thanks Paul !

At a guess I would say you have changed the text colour that usernames are displayed with to white, so they are white on white. Edit the css_custom_top.css template to make the box background colours more suitable for your forum.

Thanks Paul, nice add-on. :) Turkish translation can be downloaded from the attachment. To install, overwrite your language pack.

Installed, works good but doesn't use the stylevars. Edited the CSS to do what I wanted though.

Thanks!

What stylevars exactly ?

Great, works fine, Thank You!.

Most everything in the CSS is hardcoded to a color, a light color. As I use a darker theme on my site it didn't go well.

I mostly used the stylevar blockrow to fix it so it looked the way I needed.

This is fantastic! Very simple!

If I wanted to call to the script to make a "top posters" Forum Box that only included all-time top posters, how would you recommend I do this?

YEs how to apply this to a sidebar block?? please please!!

You cannot do that - other than to write a whole new modification to do it.

I think I found a bug in this one, posts deleted softly still get counted, can you please look at this?

Thanks in advance.

Installed ... very nice Paul .. thank you .. :)

For those wanting to change CSS variables to suit custom styles, this mod uses:

custom_top.css

Badger

I replaced line 270 with this:
It seems to work, please let me know Paul M if this fix is healthy, thanks :)

If you wish to exclude moderated and soft deleted posts then that will work fine.

Great Mod, thank you.

Only niggle I have is the link to cableforum. Is it possible to remove the link? I dont mind making a donation in order to be able to remove the link. Thank you.

Yes, you can remove it for a small donation.

:cool: Please pm me details, thank you :up:

Hi, thank you for the mod. I have installed it but the top posters page is empty. Not sure what is wrong...?

http://forums.soccerfansnetwork.com/...?do=topposters

That looks a bit like the template is missing, id suggest removing it, and re-installing it.

Paul, thanks so much for the response. I uninstalled the hack and re-installed it and no success....what could I have done wrong? I saved the xml file and then uploaded it via Import Product. Thanks..

It randomly started working...maybe a cache problem. Thanks.

italian lang :)

Thanks!! My members have been asking for this since our upgrade!
