Batting Average for Baseball Type Forums
 

This was requested by MLBCenter at vBulletinTemplates.

Basically, this hack averages in Post Count, Posts Per Day, and Join Time and gives an average at one thousandth of a decimal.

So it will display an average like this: .203 on both the memberinfo and postbit pages.

I hope you enjoy this hack. :)

MLBCenter - For letting me develop this hack on his live forums. :)

The textfile will constantly be changing, so if you get abnormal averages either report them to me in this thread, or re-do the codes, because posts per day is a tough one to work with, since the posts per day can be very weird on a user by user basis.

Can I see some screens? It's very interesting looking.

I'm getting an error now...

Ok, it's been determined that this hack needs work, or there is no definate way to actually do this.

Code optimized, and totally fixed. :)

Congratulations on your second vB3 hack, Ryan. ;)

I think I'll use this. Great idea. Thank you, sir. ;)

You're welcome Boofo. :)

Remember about my note in the first post though. The code will always be changing, so be on the lookout. ;)

The algorithm you're using doesn't make sense at all. Users on my forums with extremely high post counts end up having way lower batting averages than those with very low post counts. Join dates are the same.

But rememeber that the batting average is based on posts per day, not total post counts. ;)

Posts per day is based off total post counts and the join date.
