[VB3 RC3] Member of the day

Tested in 3.0.1

This hack lets you "elect" a member of the day (member of any period of
time actually, but defaults to member of the day).

The member of the day is someone randomly picked from all the users in
your forum that have certain amount of posts the day before, that have
visited the forum and that have at least 50 posts and 10 reputation. You
can also change that values.

By default it appers in top of the forumhome. It is a nice way for members
of the forum to get to know each other.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Yes, you are right. Fixed. In memberoftheday.php

find this:

  if ($year > $date[2] AND $date[2] != '0000')

change it to:

  if ($year > $date[2] AND $date[2] != '0000' AND $date[2])

file updated also

Only if he would turn this into a Module for the Modules Manager, though.

But first I would need an explanation of what is that modules manager.....
Anyway... I am expecting HTL 1.1 before any other hack, I am not releasing HTL hacks until I can make the .txt from there... it is really bothersome to do both an HTL and a TXT

I'm getting this, do I need to wait for the cron to run or something?

Wait for the cron or run it yourself at the admin control panel, it needs to be run at least once for the information to be generated.

read http://everythingvb.com/showthread.php?t=28 for an explanation on what the Modules Manager is (I'm not gonna cut-paste all that here)

and HTL 1.1 will come, I hope soon but I dunno how soon.. it's so much work

They are asking what they get for being MOTD. How can I rig it to give the member of the day 5000 reputation points?

Isn't that a lot? Oh anyway.

In the memberoftheday.php

Look for this:

$memberOfTheDay['forumname'] = $favoriteForum['title'];

replace it with:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user SET reputation=reputation+5000 WHERE userid=".$memberOfTheDay[userid]."");

$memberOfTheDay['forumname'] = $favoriteForum['title'];

Sure. Just set your cron job to run monthly instead of daily.
