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.

thanks animewebby. I moved the stats to the top of the forum by including it under the navbar in the forumhome and I thought it'd look nice to have the other stats box run underneath it as well. I'll be messing around with the code you provided to see if I can figure something out, thanks again.

Yah I was thinking that but that would mean that I would have to change the query to grab alot more results, changing the while loop to only run until there are 5 results SHOWN instead of while there are still results from the quert and check inside the loop.

And call me paedantic but I don't like using while loops like that, I'd prefer to somehow just grab the full query.

You just do it by incrementing $i or any other variable after actually showing the thread. On the other hand, I don't see why do you need to see threads that you cannot actually read (since they're in private forums).

Yes but you still need to grab a query that will be substantially bigger than if you were to just grab the first 5.

And they are not in private forums. The can view others thread works so that you can still make your own new threads and view them, you just cant view others. Say you setup a feedback forum or something similar where only the admins could see all the threads and therefore reply to them however you can only see the threads you make, therefore preventing unwanted replies from other people. So it is imperitive to be able to see new replies in your thread on the top 5 stats without seeing other threads from the forum.

But like I said earlier. I think I have got a fix for this so you might see an update soon.

Updated for username formatting based on usergroup settings.

Also updated the screenshots to see how such formatting works as well as how deleted threads work.
