Top Posters during XXXX

[Bane]

I am using a php file to display the top ten posters:

PHP Code:

<?php 

require("global.php"); 

$db_link = @mysql_pconnect("$dbservername", "$dbusername", "$dbpassword"); 
mysql_select_db("$dbname"); 

?> 

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" width="100%"> 
<tr> 
<td><small><strong>TOP POSTERS</strong></small></td> 
<td align="center"><small><strong>POSTS</strong></small></td> 
</tr> 
<?php 
$top_post = top_posters(); 
while( $row = mysql_fetch_row($top_post) ) 
{ 
print('<tr>'); 
print('<td>'); 
print('<a href="member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid='); 
print($row[0]); 
print('" target="_top">'); 
print($row[1]); 
print('</a></td>'); 
print('<td align="center">'); 
print($row[2]); 
print('</td>'); 
print('</tr>'); 
} 
mysql_free_result ($top_post); 
?> 
</table> 

<?php 

function top_posters() 
{ 
$cur_time = mktime(date(G), date(i), date(s), date(m), date(d), date(Y)); 
$query = 'SELECT userid, username, posts ' . 
'FROM user ' . 
'ORDER BY posts DESC LIMIT 3'; 
$result = mysql_query($query) 
or die('top_posters query failed'); 
return($result); 
} 

?>

IRC may recognise this

My question is, is there a way to set this so it displays the top posters of the last 7 days and the number of posts during that time period?

I had tried changing some things and got the top list for last 7 days, but it would only display the total number of posts, not just for those 7 days..

I hope Im making sense.

I did something like this only I calculate based on the past 24 hours.

PHP Code:

$numberHighPostPerPage = 10; //set for this paste of teh script
$curTime = localtime();
$uts = time() - ($curTime[2]*3600 + $curTime[1]*60 + $curTime[0]);
$lts = $uts - (86401);    // 3600 * 24 + 1 (to be completely honest about "yesterday")
unset($curTime);

$users = $DB_site->query("
         SELECT post.userid, user.username, COUNT(post.userid) AS count
                FROM post
                LEFT JOIN user ON post.userid=user.userid
                WHERE dateline >= $lts AND dateline <= $uts
                GROUP BY post.userid
                ORDER BY count DESC
                LIMIT $numberHighPostPerPage"
         );

while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array( $users ) )
{
       eval( "\$highpostbits .= \"".gettemplate("highpostbit")."\";");
       $numhp++;
}
for ( ; $numhp < $numberHighPostPerPage; $numhp++ )
{
        $user[userid] = "-1"; $user[username] = "Unclaimed"; $user[count] = "0";
        eval( "\$highpostbits .= \"".gettemplate("highpostbit")."\";");
}
eval( "\$highpost = \"".gettemplate("highpost")."\";"); 


Change the line:
$lts = $uts - (86401);

to:
$its = $uts - (604800);


Then add the templats: highpost, and highpostbit. In the highpost bit you can use $user[userid] $user[username] and $user[count].

What this will also do, if there are less then $numberHighPostPerPage top posters it will fill the remaining slots with "Unclaimed".


This is a part of the site integration script I am writing for my site.

Using

PHP Code:

<?php

$templatesused = "highpost,highpostbit";
require ("global.php");

$numberHighPostPerPage = 10; //set for this paste of the script
$curTime = localtime();
$uts = time() - ($curTime[2]*3600 + $curTime[1]*60 + $curTime[0]);
$lts = $uts - (604800);    // 3600 * 24 + 1 (to be completely honest about "yesterday")
unset($curTime);

$users = $DB_site->query("
         SELECT post.userid, user.username, COUNT(post.userid) AS count
                FROM post
                LEFT JOIN user ON post.userid=user.userid
                WHERE dateline >= $lts AND dateline <= $uts
                GROUP BY post.userid
                ORDER BY count DESC
                LIMIT $numberHighPostPerPage");

while ($user = $DB_site->fetch_array( $users ) )
{
       eval( "$highpostbits .= \"".gettemplate("highpostbit")."\";");
       $numhp++;
}
for ( ; $numhp < $numberHighPostPerPage; $numhp++ )
{
        $user[userid] = "-1"; $user[username] = "Unclaimed"; $user[count] = "0";
        eval( "$highpostbits .= \"".gettemplate("highpostbit")."\";");
}
eval( "$highpost = \"".gettemplate("highpost")."\";");

?>

I get parse errors?

hey leadZERO

Can you post your templates?

The reason why you are getting parse errors is not because of a coding error on anyone's part.

It is a problem that vBulletin currently has with [ php ] blocks and escaped characters... watch this:

eval("\$bits .= \"".gettemplate("bit")."\";");

now the same code in a [ php ] block:

PHP Code:

eval("\$bits .= \"".gettemplate("bit")."\";"); 


As you can see, the code is not properly printed in the PHP block.

I did manage to get rid of the parse errors.. Trying to sort the templates now

Templates:

~highpost
<table width="165" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
$highpostbits
</table>

~highpostbit
<tr bgcolor="#370000">
<td width="5"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="5"></td> <td><a href="/forum/member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$user[userid]"><font color="#E0E0E0">$user[username]</font></a></td>
<td>$user[count]</td>
<td width="5"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="5"></td>
</tr>

Those are copied straight from my templates, so just ignore things like my spacer GIF.

Works great leadZERO, I appreciate the help!

Maybe it's cause Freddie fixed it (haven't looked for this specifically in the Bug Fixes thread yet) but they look exactly the same to me...

The \ is missing before $bits
