Top 5 "Hot" Topics on Forum Home Page

This little one puts a list of the five threads with the most replies that have been active in the past 7 days on your forum home page.

You can change the query to make it 10 topics with most views or whatever suits your needs.

Things you may want to change:

To get the top 10, 20 or whatever topics instead of 5, change

Code:

LIMIT 5

to the number of your choice.

To get the top topics based on views instead of replies, change

Code:

ORDER BY replycount

Code:

ORDER BY views

To keep track of the top threads that are currently active, no matter when they were started, change

Code:

WHERE dateline > $datecut

Code:

WHERE lastpost > $datecut

I installed it and modified the template a little bit to my liking. But you have a HUGE BUG!

Take this out of $topicstring in the plugin! "http://www.eaforums.com/forums/"

Oops. I never really intended to share this one. I'll fix that now.

Hahahahah! Love the 5th Topic's title amy!!

That's our Amy! ;)

If anyone is interested, I edited a few things to make this look more in line with the rest of the What's Going On box. See the attached pic. ;)

It is also collaspable. ;)

Darth Gill

07-29-2005 11:03 AM

I did the same thing... I made it collapseable as well as moved the number of replies to the title attribute so that it shows only on mouseovers. I also replaced the breaklines with spaces.... One more change is since my board likes to have long lengthy discussions over months at a time, I made it the 5 hottest topics for the month. :)

Here's a screenshot.

Yeah, my what's going on box is very different than most people's. That's why I put in there that the html was only a suggestion ;)

I overwrote the hack with the new version but the list is exactly the same.

I unistalled the hack and reinstalled it but the list still looks the same.

you said you had made some changes so it fits in with the rest of 'what's going on'

amykhar

07-30-2005 03:48 AM

No. I never said that :) Somebody else said they made changes on their board. In the install instructions, I specifically noted that the template html was just a suggestion and you may want to tweak it.

I fixed the url problem that the first user has.

In your FORUMHOME template

Find:

HTML Code:

 </table>

<br />

<!-- end what's going on box -->

ABOVE it add:

HTML Code:

 <!-- This Week's Hot Topics -->

<tbody>

<tr>

<td class="thead" colspan="2">

<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_hottopics')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_hottopics" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_hottopics].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[hottopics]</strong><span>

</td>

</tr>

</tbody>

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_hottopics" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_hottopics]">

$hottopics

</tbody>

<!-- end This Week's Hot Topics -->

Make a new phrase:

Quote:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: Hot Topics on Forum Home
Varname: hottopics
Text: This Week's Hot Topics

Done!
Enjoy!

I don't know what could be going wrong. I have not changed the plugin and nobody else seems to have that problem.

Rich	08-01-2005 05:49 PM

Hello,

Exactly how do I install this? lol I downloaded the package, and took a look at the install directions. Then I went in to the ACP to see where I Import Products, but I have no idea where that is to be done. lol
This is my first modification to a 3.5 RC1. Sorry for my ignorance.

Worked perfect. Another job well done Amy!

Amycar, this is a great plugin!
is there a chance to put this on a vb-powered custom page?

amykhar

08-01-2005 11:34 PM

Kusadasi-Guy, you could lift the code out of the plugin and use it anywhere that global.php is included. It's a straightforward query. You will need to restructure your template though.

i am really sorry to being noob, but i couldnt. Can you create a small example? This is really too important for me becuase i want to create my VB-powered custom page.

For anyone that is intested, I made a slight change to the xml file. It will now say:

No replies for 0 replies
1 reply (for 1 reply)
12 replies (for multiple replies)

If anyone is interested. let me know, and if Amy oks it, I will post the change here.

amykhar

08-02-2005 01:08 AM

Go for it. I'll even add you as co-author and put it in the original post with your template mod.

Boofo

08-02-2005 01:19 AM

In the xml file for this mod

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
while($hottopic = $db->fetch_array($hottopics))
{
$topicstring.="<a href='showthread.php?t=".$hottopic[threadid]."'>".$hottopic[title]."</a> - ($hottopic[replycount] replies)<br />";
}

REPLACE it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
 while($hottopic = $db->fetch_array($hottopics))
{
if ($hottopic[replycount] == 1)
{
$topicstring.="<a href='showthread.php?t=".$hottopic[threadid]."'>".$hottopic[title]."</a> - ($hottopic[replycount] reply)<br />";
}
else if ($hottopic[replycount] == 0)
{
$topicstring.="<a href='showthread.php?t=".$hottopic[threadid]."'>".$hottopic[title]."</a> - (No replies)<br />";
}
else
{
$topicstring.="<a href='showthread.php?t=".$hottopic[threadid]."'>".$hottopic[title]."</a> - ($hottopic[replycount] replies)<br />";
}
}

I know it's crude, but it works. ;)

I updated the zip and added your name Bob. I am forced to use wordpad cause I'm here at work without my editor of choice. Somebody please make sure the zip file imports ok.

Boofo

08-02-2005 01:30 AM

Thanks, Amy. ;)

You want an updated pic for it?

amykhar

08-02-2005 01:33 AM

Sure. Why not. :D I'm no longer using this plugin on my site cause I moved the content to my side-bar.

Neal-UK

08-02-2005 07:52 AM

I've done the re-install of the updated version but you will need to add the phrases manually again (See start of this thread).

I still can't get it to look like the rest of the 'What's going on' though.......
