Pick Random User

This hack lets you pick a random user given a minimum number of posts and by usergroup. This is helpful for forums with raffles and other similar features.

Nice! I was just asked if I could run a give-away for one of my vendors. Can this be set to pick users from a certain thread?

I would be very interested in something like that. OR how about members that have posted that month.

Could someone tell me if this is 100% compatible with Vb3.01

Thanks in advance,

In admincp/index.php find:
THis
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['generate_mailing_list'], 'email.php?do=genlist', '<br />');

Under that add this:
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['pick_random'],'randomuser.php?', '<br />');

Upload the file randomuser.php to your admincp/ dir
--------------------------------

In admincp add a new phrase:

Varname - random_user
Text - Pick Random User
--------------------------------

All done!.

Enjoy
