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.

I added some of the words they use to the censored list and it stopped it, they try and do it but it dont work because the words are replaced with ****

So that does stop it..

Yes I have the newest version and it still is insecure..

nah bro, just censor the word {meta}
they were using a meta code to redirect your site

is it possible to not let guests see the top x?

[meissenation]

PLEASE do the community a favor and send out a security bulletin about this security risk. I had this happen to my site and it took me a little while to fix it. Had I known about this before hand, it would've never happened.

can this be used inside a forum? or in multiple forums to list posts, threads active members etc. inside that forum only?

[SuperFly]

Honestly if your still getting the redirects, your ++++ed up at securing your site, im freaking running the original still and no problems yet, ive had attempts by so called hackers, but they blow ass chunks.

Is there anyway to optimize the query that grabs the latest posts/threads?

That is the only function of the TopXstats that I'm using, and lately that one query has been tripling my page generation times (0.15 with topxstats off, .6+ with it on). Thats still not bad, but if its possible to reduce that load, that would be great as I'm pretty sure its going to keep getting larger as the number of posts increases

I've used this hack for about 2 months now and I have something to say about it.

I like the hack, very good idea.

What REALLY needs attention is how it pulls the threads and members. For example, I have the Awaiting Email Confirmation usergroup set to not show on the members list. This stat box shows them though.

The latest threads needs to utilize a permission based method. Since I'm the admin I have access to all the forums. I have to put in each forum that I don't want to show up on the current mod. It would be much better if it showed all of the posts for me, but someone who doesn't have permission to a specific forum won't see it in the stats box.

Just me two cents.
