Top xx Posters List

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.5 version of my Top (10) Posters hack.

This has now been re-vamped for the release of version 3.xx - the hack no longer uses a seperate topposters.php file.

This hack displays a page with the Top Forum Posters for a given set of periods. Two periods are fixed ('This Month' & 'Overall') but can be turned off in the options. The other three periods are user definable (in days) - the default values are 1 day (24 hours), 7 days & 28 days. These three columns cannot be turned off.

The number of posters to be shown can also be set, the default is the top 10 posters. You can also select which usergroups are included in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown.

To upgrade (if you want to) uninstall version 2.xx and re-install this version. Note the url to display the page has changed.

The "Display Top Posters" should not appear there. You seem to have inserted the template code in the wrong place.

Basically the code to search for in the instructions appears to have changed slightly since I wrote them (yet no one has ever mentioned this ....) so I think you have guessed where to insert the link and got the wrong place.

I've updated the instructions.

Paul,

Very nice, thank you.
I haven't posted a link to it yet. My site is almost entirely unbranded.
May I remove the Version 3.13 : © Paul Marsden 2006 at the bottom?

Thanks,
Cliff

Love the hack, I need to see if there is anyway to save the data on a cron job at the end of each month. I used it in a specific forum for contests, and need to save the data at the end of each month to find out the winner, and it would be great if the system could save all the data for me somehow, instead of looking each month. Anyone know if this is possible and how you could do it?

Hi I inserted the required into the navbar template but surprisingly, don't see any link to click.

As I recall, the link is in the quicklinks dropdown. Please click install.
