Gamingforce · #1 01-14-2003, 09:01 AM

A lot of people on my community wanted a way to find out where other users post. When I make hacks I shoot for a hack that anyone can install without any special libraries but with a lot of servers already having GD installed and PHP 4.3.0 coming with GD bundled, I decided to include a dynamically generated pie chart along with this hack.

What this hack does is breaks down a user's posting into all the forums you have on your board. It reads visible forums automatically and generated the graph and data automatically as well. Also on the page is the number of posts the user has made in the day/week/month.

Here are live implementations of this hack on my board that I'm testing out:
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/me...s.php?userid=1
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/me...s.php?userid=2

If the percentage for a certain forum falls under one percent, it gets tacked on to the "Other Forums" listing.

What do you guys think about this potential hack? Any suggestions? Anything to add or remove?
