For vB3.7, see The vB3.7 version
This is the plugin/vB3.5/vB3.6 version of this hack This mod was developed on vB3.6.4, and tested for compatibility with vB3.5.4 Description This hack adds an activity metric for users to your forum; this metric takes into account a variable number of weeks. Also provided is a Junior/Normal/Senior member system based on this metric, and a longevity metric (user registered time as a percent of the amount of time the first user has been registered). Visiting each day and posting the configured amount of times per day for the configured number of weeks will yeild 100% activity. Posts are checked individually for each day, so days cannot be skipped then spammed up afterwards. The weight of visiting for the day relative to posting is configurable. Weeks are weighted so the most recent has a bigger impact on the activity percent than the most distant. When a user logs in with activity above the configured threshold, they are promoted from Junior Member to Member. When they log in with the configured amount of time as Member, they are promoted to Senior Member. You can configure the mod to also add secondary usergroups when these promotions happen. Complexity This modification requires 1 XML import, modification to 3 templates, and the addition of some CSS, depending on what options you choose Technical This hack adds 1 query to showthread for each user who posts in that page (or only 1 for the logged in user by configuration). In addition, the first time a member's post or profile is accessed during a day (GMT), 3 queries are performed to find that user's activity. By configuration, 1 query may be added to each page load to find the logged in user's "activity today". By configuration, 1 query may be added to each member profile view to find that member's "activity today". Upgradability This modification will import your settings and data from the 3.0/hack version Frequently Asked Questions
Note: To upgrade, with the old version still installed, go to the Add/Import Product link on the Manage Products page, select the XML file for the new version, choose Yes for overwrite, then click Import. 2.80 release update

Um. O.K There seem to be numerous issues.
First of all I registered before anyone else on the forums and my longetivity is 99% while userid 7 (im 1) has 100%. Also it says my activity is a mere 33% when I have the hughest post count. |

Remember that 100% activity means that you've visited and posted 'X' times each day for the past 'Y' weeks. If you've recently missed a post or visit, you cannot achieve 100% activity untill 'Y' weeks after that date. Especially if you've only missed once, it may seem like your activity bar is stuck, but if you keep active it will eventually rise. You can't spam it up. The activity bar is updated once per day, at midnight GMT. Your activity for today is shown in your "today" bar. Also note that once your today bar is full, you cannot recieve anymore activity credit for that day. It takes almost 'X' weeks to get to 50%, and you cannot miss a point for 'X' weeks to get to 100%. This all depends on your settings. As for the longivity, make sure that your member that has 100% longivity doesn't have a join date eairler then yours. Quote:

As for activity, it is just as LiveWire said. The whole point of the activity metric is that it can't be spammed up; an activity of 100% should indicate your dedicated users who visit and post every day. People who visit and post 100 posts once a week will have a less-than-stellar activity rating. Also note that activity only looks back the set number of weeks; if you made 100,000 posts two months ago, but the activity only looks back 4 weeks, then those posts won't be reflected. If you experiment with the settings, don't forget to run "Refresh User Activity" from Activity Maintenance. |

I've got 102% for my activity. There's a red x because it's looking for an "activity21.gif".

This may happen if you change settings and do not run the "Refresh User Activity" maintenance. However, I will still look into this and add a check for this condition.

I upgraded to Beta 5 and it seems to be working properly.
However, I'm noticing one little issue. Before it was showing each users daily activity. Now, it isn't showing, but shows "Activity today is only shown for the logged in user". Is this new in beta 5 or does it just need time to update? |

I've been writing up a configuration guide to include in the next release. I'd like oppinions on its usefullness, understandability, and so forth.
