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.

Thank you very much for the fix

One last question (a stupid one I admit...does not regard the vulnerability fix)

Take a look at the screenshot:



The previous TopXStat version I had installed was German (I don?t remember where I got that one), but the one I downloaded here is English, so now I want to change back the descriptions into German (Top Posters, Newest Members and so on). Which file/template do I have to look into? I have absolutely no idea, couldn?t find it yet Please help!

Thanks!

Edit: Fixed version works fine They registered again and tried to do their little trick () but it didn?t work this time

Thank you for fixing this plugin. It's a great plugin I might add, the perfect addition to any VB install. Also being updated by email each time the plugin is updated is also a live saver

Anyway I've uploaded the version CURRENTLY running on my site (of which a "hacker" tried to attack but was unsuccesful and got laughed away), my version also shows the full security friendly version of the title when you mouseover the truncated version in the latest threads and also adds the missing phrases to vB3.6 versions.

Personally I don't use this, but only because I already have a customised latest threads hack running.

However I know it's a popular hack, and I just wanted to say you are to be applauded for coming back and adding all the required fixes, security issues can happen with any code, what is important is that it is fixed.

your templates are not grouped ....
product Top'X'Stats
hook location "template_groups"

php code

PHP Code:

$only['top']='topXstats'; 


plugin active yes

all done

add a new plugin to the product at hook location "template_groups" then the templates the system uses will be grouped together

[DementedMindz]

Yeah I forgot to post that I had got it. But thanks for replying. This way maybe it helps others.

The 3.6.x update was the one with no suffix. I've added a suffix to it so that it is clearer which zip is for which version.
