Top 'X' Stats

This hack adds the top 'x' stats (top posters, newest members, newest replies) to your forumhome.

The original idea was nanoentities but he will not be releasing his hack for vB3. Basically this is the same idea, all new coding, all new templates.

This hack also shows a 'New' or 'Old' text if the thread was posted after your lastvisit or marking all forums as read. Also it posts the deleted message for those who can see it and can be set to exclude forums.

I am currently working on a seperate page where the user can set the number of stats he wishes to show.

Live demo at: *removed* (dow the bottom)

vB 3.5 version available at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...846#post743846 !!!

I need this to work with user's permissions, is that possible?

I mean I know that you can exclude certain forums, but I want all of the forums to show if the user that is viewing the page has permission to access that forum.

yeh good idea and threads / posts awaiting moderation should be excluded

i'll take a look at the code asi want it to work with permissions too, basically it's just a matter of extracting the usergroups and then their permissions and converting that data into something that the script can read, shouldn't be too hard, although it'll probably add a few queries, we'll see though, if anyone more skilled does it before me then yay

Yeah, this is an awesome hack, it just needs to be tweaked a little

This hack in its current form works using forum permission. It also show deleted thread only to those members who can see them as well as being able to exclude forum id's so there should not be problems with members seeing what they shouldnt be able to.

I have finished my next version found here it includes an extra page so users can specify the number of stats to show added admincp settings for post title trunctaing, username truncating, excluded forum ids, most stats to show on forumhome and extra page, default to show on forum home and extra page as well as a prefix setting for new and old posts. It is all ready to go with htl but with the new admin settings i need to create an installer to add those into the dbase.

based on my current installation, guests can see threads in the top 5 even in hidden forums?

Where is the code for the change? Also could you change this to display reputation instead of new users?

yep thats what i mean about permissions
if the permissions were there
we wouldn't have to exclude forums or worry about posts in moderation displaying
