Latest X Paid Subscribers on Forum Home

By request, this has been ported from the vB 3.0.x version:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=65254

What this hack does: This hack will list and instantly refresh (when a new subscription is made) a list of the latest X paid subscribers to your forum. It's a nice way of recognizing members who help pay the the forum bills, and encourages others to join.

There are no queries generated on page views. Only when a subscription is added, changed or deleted.

Installation:
1. Import the product XML file (Plugin System --> Manage Products
Add/Import Product)
2. Edit FORUMHOME tamplate, and place the variable $thanks anywhere you want to display the list.


Notes:
o To build the list for the first time, edit the active subscription of any member, just a minute to their expiry date, and save.
o To change the default (5) names to something else, there's a setting for it in vBulletin Options -> Last XX Paid Subscribers in the admincp
o To change the HTML for usernames, edit the thanks_bits template

Did you make the edits to forum home template?

There are different places to put $thanks.
I did it this way.

Edit FORUMHOME
Find
<span title="<phrase 1="$vboptions[activememberdays]">$vbphrase[within_the_last_x_days]</phrase>">$vbphrase[active_members]: $activemembers</span>
</if>
</div>

Add below
<div class="smallfont">Thanks to our latest <a href="payments.php">contributing members</a>: $thanks</div>

Thanks!

Thank you, that was perfect!

[Sal Collaziano]

I love it! Thank you!

Just what I needed, thanks.

I have added this to the bottom of my Navbar because I would like it to show up on every page..... but like some other strings the $thanks inly works on forumhome.

Does anyone know how to make it work on all pages ?

Working like a charm Thanks for this!

Any ideas how to strip the session out of the URLs?

Edit the thanks_bit template and remove the $session[sessionurl]. It's there because of cut & paste

You need to refresh the list after you edits. Try editing a member's active subscription, bt adding an hour, to regenerate the list.

This plugin's only working in my default template, what am I doing wrong?
