Miscellaneous Hacks - Top Posters

This modification is no longer available or supported.

Top Posters mod for vb 3.6.

This 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 (or excluded) in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown. Excluded is only available from v3.29 onwards.

If enabled, it will also attempt to add a link to your Quick Links or Navbar. There is an option to prefix this path if you use something like CMPS.

To install just unzip the xml file and import it using the Product Manager

What you did sounds correct. Since you have no links to your site, what do you mean by "not working" ?

Well, what I mean is nothing is showing up on the index.php page. Here is our forum:

http://www.raptureforums.com/forum/index.php

I see the mod in the products manager page and everything, it's just that I don't see anything on the stats area down on the bottom on the index page. Am I suppose to do something else in the admincp? I'm new to doing mods, so I'm not sure if I've missed something?

Thanks for the help.

This does not add anything to the homepage (except a link in the Navbar if enabled) - the information is listed on a new page ;

You don't appear to have it installed atm as that link just defaults to the smilies.

I installed it on my forum but it only installed it on 2 of my 5 styles. I realized that the 3 styles it did not work were those with the word Qlink instead of Quick Link. I can change the templates manualy but don't know which one to change and what to write. Can someone help?
Thanks.

If you are adding a link manually, you need to point it at misc.php?do=topposters

Sorry I am fearly new in this. What is exactly the text I need to enter and where, in which template I need to do it?

Thanks.

[tekstylez]

[Paul M]

Top thanks ??

Great mod. Thanks.

Would either of the following be possible, and if so, how would I do this?

1. Left align the data in each column instead of it being centered.
2. Format the text, ie: smaller font size.

Edit: Thank you Paul, much appreciated.
