For vB3.7, see The vB3.7 version
This is the plugin/vB3.5/vB3.6 version of this hack This mod was developed on vB3.6.4, and tested for compatibility with vB3.5.4 Description This hack adds an activity metric for users to your forum; this metric takes into account a variable number of weeks. Also provided is a Junior/Normal/Senior member system based on this metric, and a longevity metric (user registered time as a percent of the amount of time the first user has been registered). Visiting each day and posting the configured amount of times per day for the configured number of weeks will yeild 100% activity. Posts are checked individually for each day, so days cannot be skipped then spammed up afterwards. The weight of visiting for the day relative to posting is configurable. Weeks are weighted so the most recent has a bigger impact on the activity percent than the most distant. When a user logs in with activity above the configured threshold, they are promoted from Junior Member to Member. When they log in with the configured amount of time as Member, they are promoted to Senior Member. You can configure the mod to also add secondary usergroups when these promotions happen. Complexity This modification requires 1 XML import, modification to 3 templates, and the addition of some CSS, depending on what options you choose Technical This hack adds 1 query to showthread for each user who posts in that page (or only 1 for the logged in user by configuration). In addition, the first time a member's post or profile is accessed during a day (GMT), 3 queries are performed to find that user's activity. By configuration, 1 query may be added to each page load to find the logged in user's "activity today". By configuration, 1 query may be added to each member profile view to find that member's "activity today". Upgradability This modification will import your settings and data from the 3.0/hack version Frequently Asked Questions
Note: To upgrade, with the old version still installed, go to the Add/Import Product link on the Manage Products page, select the XML file for the new version, choose Yes for overwrite, then click Import. 2.80 release update

You need a fix for 3.7? Its working fine for me on 3.7 on a pretty heavily modded board.

A fantastic mod. I do find however that when selecting to view all users posts made today - that the forum slows to a crawl - and its a powerful as hell server with a ton of mods and a 1.2 million+ post community. Apart from that its great. Any suggestions on possible optimization as I'd like to have that option selected. Cheers

The activity mod should have no effect on a search results page -- only where activity is displayed might it need to be calculated. Additionally, activity is only calculated once per user per day, the first time it is needed; if the post was made today, then the activity was already calculated when it was posted.
As far as optimizations, the default settings produce the minimum load, with the exception that more weeks counted will increase the load and that defaults to 4. Be sure to check the state of the "Show activity today for all users" option; this adds a query for each user who posted on a thread page every time it is viewed, which will result in a corespondingly large load increase. Except for that, the mod is designed so that a board with round-the-clock visitors will only feel the increased load once a day, and you can place that load off-peak by changing the mod midnight. |

If you could paste your postbit template into a text file and post it here, I'd be happy to take a look.

I hope you use the template hooks instead of edits in the next version.

I'd like to state that I have a vb3.7 version that uses template hooks almost ready, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the product system not wanting to properly upgrade from an existing version. I'm waiting to see if this will get corrected; if not, I'll have to make a plugin to change the productid of the installed product to lowercase before the new one is installed.

I've installed your mod, everything works fine, except the text is white, and does not show well on my site, is there a way to change the color of the text?
