Top xx Posters List · **Released**: 07-13-2005

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.

That is a seriously poorly server, what is the url of the site ?

Liquid sugar, this mod is!

Installed in two minutes and working perfectly on 3.5.4. This is one of the better (unintended?) Moderator tools I have seen in a Long time, it makes it so easy to pin-point and handle spammers on a small board. The execution is just spot on - you belong in Apple somewhere hehe

Thanks a million for another job well done!

i just upgraded from the prev version to the newest, and my users are reporting loss in posts, what gives? do i have to update counters or something?

Dedicated webserver running Debian Fedora, plenty of HDD space and 2 gigs of ram

Server loads around 1-3 depending on how many online sometimes a few hundred. The site flies, except when I click this link.

Ideas?

derek looks good now - how did you get it working? I have the smilies issue too

I had the template cache hack installed, so you have to choose the "Clean Template Cache" option otherwise all the templates will stay the same because they are cached on your server.

Version 3.16 has been uploaded today - this fixes a bug in the monthly posts calculation - it was counting the last day of the previous month in the totals.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
