Miscellaneous Hacks - Top Posters List

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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, 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.

If enabled, this will also attempt to add a link to your Quick Links or Navbar. There is also an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.

To install just unzip the xml file and import it using the Product Manager

v3.7.001 - First 3.7 release.

If you want to rewrite it slightly you could do that.

I'm not too familiar with coding, i can edit but complete rewrite's are harder for me. Could i pay you?

[EvilJohn]

Installed! Works wonderfully. Thank you sir.

I was running this on 3.6 and it worked fine. I just upgraded to vb 3.7 and also updated Top Posters to the latest version.

Now my column headings are missing.

I have attached a screen shot.

How do I fix this?

[Paul M]

Try installing it again, looks like missing phrases to me.

What is the difference between this mod and Cyb's mod?

[Paul M]

No idea, I dont keep track of other mods unless I actually use them.

Just uninstalled it and reinstalled.

Still the same problem. What should I try next?

[Paul M]

Sorry, without admin access to your forum there is nothing more I could even guess at.

Where are the templates found?

Also, is there a way to mod your code to show "last month" data just like and along with "this month" data? This would be soooo useful for forum posting contests and rewards which is why I am using it. Where can I go to make those kind of edits?

By the way = THANK YOU for making this. I was trying to total the info up by hand for our forum posting contests and it was terrible.

THANKS AGAIN !!!!
