[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

Good hack

Btw, does anyone know how to modify the hack to display the member's avatar, even if the avatar is from the database and not custom (currently only custom uploaded avatars are shown).

I installed the hack - it is nice, but isn't the user's profile image supposed to display? It isn't displaying. Am I wrong?

Another question, how can I add a custom profile field to display in the memberoftheday? I tried various things, but can't figure it out.

Thanks much!

Is it possible to also call the users avatar(default one if you use it) to be displayed along with the info?

$memberOfTheDay = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT user.userid,user.username,user.posts,user.reputation,user.birthday

im assuming itd be more or less adding the extra avatar or profile tables to the above query?


could this also be possible for what brandy is looking for?
i.e adding in the profile feild table to the query.

this hack is very cool thanks alot!

Nice feature. I would like to add the info of "join date" next to their posts. I can see where to put things, but I'm not sure the exact language to create a new variable of $mday[join]. Could anyone help me out? :squareeyed:

I've got "member of the day" at my site www.doggiedoor.com/forums/ and I have it set up so that only the moderators are elected (did this by restricting all other usergroups). We've had it up for about a month now, I've got 15 moderators that it chooses from, and a few have never been chosen.

Note: They DO meet the requirements I have set up, as in posted at least once, posted and logged in in the last 30 days, have a reputation over 99.

I can't seem to figure out why they would be passed over? They are feeling neglected, apparently they've been waiting for their turn to no avail.
Any clues?

Could it just be the luck of the draw? It you look at many things that use random numbers it seems sometimes a few numbers do not come up as much as others... I donno :ermm:

That is what I am looking for, too. Looks like Kentaurus hasn't visited this thread for the past two months though
