Top 'X' Stats

[high]Security Fix: The uploaded version fixes all issues concerned with the recent security vulnerabilities. Sorry I haven't been around I don't really do anything plugin wise anymore.[/high]

Oh this version also works with all current version of vB 3.6. So feel free to use it on that version.

The low down

Well this is the vB 3.5.0 version of my hack. It is much the same as the original except that for some added stuff that I never released

Basically what it does is show the Top 'X' (edited via the vBulletin options in the admincp) newest members, top posters and newest replies on the Forumhome.

So what's new in this version?

Well for one all settings, which include amount of stats to show on forumhome and the extended page, thread title and username truncation, excluded forums and 'new' and 'old' thread prefixes.

Secondly there is now an extra page where you are able to choose exactly how many stats to show.

And lastly and most importantly it only takes 3 simple steps to install =)

What's on the horizon?

- More "stat blocks" including top reputation and top thread based on views or replies. If you have a suggestion please let me know, prefferably via pm.
- Proper can view other users threads permissions. At the moment I cannot think of how to block other people threads while still showing your own without totally re-writing the hack =(.

Version 1.2.1 is a re-release with who's online additions as well as some template changes. So you are best to reinstall the whole thing all over again.

So anyway enjoy and click install.

It probably has something todo with the permissions, because I didn't really change that bit of code at all.

Interesting enough, there seems to be a small error in the product. I go to the topXstats.php page and everything that I've read shows up as [OLD], but when I go back to FORUMHOME, everything still shows up as [NEW]. Even when I clicked on the "Mark Forums Read" link for my forums they still show up as new. I'm at a loss of what I need to do to fix this... ><

BTW: I just ran all of the Update Counters features, and that didn't fix it. Just wondering, but would the reason for it not working be because I am using the Database (automatic forum marking) feature that is new to vB?

EDIT: I just tried all three of the Thread/Forum Read Marking Type options and they all had the same problem, so this can't be it either.

It is working fine for me, the code that tags a post as new or old is the same on both pages so I can't see why they shouldn't work the same. Are you sure you haven't edited the plugin or file in some way? Or even the templates?

Nope, I'll try re-installing though.

EDIT: Reinstalled and it seemed to work fine... that is until I logged out and logged back in. It's doing the same thing again.

You've got me beat. For the moment you will have to put up with it untill I release the next version. It will be a major rehaul so maybe the change in code will stop the hiccup.

The only change is that I added a footer to the template, like I do with all the other hacks to make them look more streamlined with the forums. I also removed the extra <br> lines before and after the blocks because they were not necessary for me(you'll have to remove those youself if want to). Screenshots are included.
