vBFavorites v1.0

Alright everyone, here's my first (hopefully of many) released hack, so have mercy

This hack adds a category to your index.php page containing the X (customizable) most frequented forums by that particular user. This hack does not apply to guests however, or members who have no (or less than a customizable amount of) posts.

Not much more to it, it's a very simple 2 minute install and it should (although I haven't verified it) work across 2.2.x. A live demo will be available soon at Somethingleet, but for now some screenshots will have to do. Please let me know the url of the forums you install it on, if you do, I like seeing where my work is used

Screenshots:
Screenshot of what it looks like to your qualifying user with a sufficient number of posts - [here]
Screenshot of how it appears to a guest - [here]
Screenshot of how it appears to a registered user without a sufficient number of posts - [here]

Minihacks & Customizations:
Exclude a forum from favorites
Make 'Your Favorites' Username's favorites

If you like the hack, make sure and install it!

Looks good!

/me clicks install

Wow! This is great!

*installs*

P.S. i installed on a 2.2.6, so it should work from (at least) that and up.

In theory it should work for all vB 2.2.x versions

VERY USEFUL!!
Congrats on a great idea.

Anyway to include the member name in the "Favorites" line?
ie; "MemberName's Favorites"

Hmm...since this is a standard forum/category, you would have to do some heavy template editing, which probably isn't worth the effort. If it's in real high demand then I might figure out how though, it's not something that I can do off the top of my head.

If I'm understanding correctly, this hack shows your most frequently posted forums in the "favorite list", correct? Well, if this is the case, and Okiewan wants it simply to show the members name, then use $bbuserinfo[username] in the "favorites" line, that will show the members name. Unless I am missing something..

[Chris M]

Of course you aren't Velo

I was just about to say the same thing

You aren't able to add variables to things such as forum names, are you? I was pretty sure that you aren't able to. Let me go test it out.

Edit: Nope, didn't think it would. I tried making a replacement turning {username} to $bbuserinfo[username], and that didn't work either.
