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

You cannot do that with this modification.

I have been using this hack for some time now but have always had a problem. One of my top posters isn't listed in the stats. Is there anyway to rebuild the info?

I just updated to your recent version but that didn't fix it.

Thanks for the great hack.

The information is not "built" - it's realtime, calculated when you visit the page. I would guess your poster is in a usergroup not currently set to be included in the settings.

Is it possible to have a top thanks mod that is similar. like within a day, a week, a month etc?

[Paul M]

I'm sure it is, but it won't come from me I'm afraid.

He is in the same usergroup as others the only difference is I changed his name. He is under the same account with the same number of posts but just a different name. It has happend to quite a few of my users.

Check user JohnnyRingo and Locco. Both should be on the top posters lists based on their current posts amount but they arent.

Any ideas?

Sorry, but without admin access (and the ability to run queries) there is nothing I can tell you.

Sorry, how i can remove the link from navbar?

[Paul M]

That depends on how you added it in the first place.

Ok, would uninstalling and re-installing possibly make a difference?
