Hi all I'm trying to do the top 5 posters hack like on http://www.extremeforums.com. But have no idea how to do this.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

save it in a file like top5.php3

and then use an include command into your non vb page

right like this:

1/ save file as top5.php3 in admin folder.
2/ create include (how?) in forumhome template.
3/ end

Is this right?

errhh... the you want the top 5 posters where on your site ?

what i did was only put it on my front index page which is a non vb page.. then i used a php include on my front index.php3 page at http://animeboards.net i saved top5.php3 into my root directory

Code:

<?php 

include("/home/usr1/www.animeboards.net/htdocs/top5.php3"); 

?>

well i don't know anything about php really just code that others here have given me... so that's where my knowledge ends... i haven't tried php code in the forumhome template before ... you can try it though... :)

OK, I'll try - how do I include the file?
JP
