Top xx Posters List · **Released**: 07-13-2005

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.5 version of my Top (10) Posters hack.

This has now been re-vamped for the release of version 3.xx - the hack no longer uses a seperate topposters.php file.

This hack 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 in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown.

To upgrade (if you want to) uninstall version 2.xx and re-install this version. Note the url to display the page has changed.

Then you didn't do it right

The template name is case sensitive, I would guess you haven't called it "Top_Posters".

Hi, thanks for the mod.
btw, can this hack be extended to include top-10 posters in terms of "post counts of the current month"?

that would be awesome..

A couple of silly questions, but...

How do I delete the old top posters template?

I have specified that I want 20 posters in my list (through the Admin CP), but only 10 are being displayed.

You don't actually need to delete the old template, as it's also used by the new version.

I've just set mine to 20 and it's fine, are you sure the setting has been changed ?

Edit: Nevermind I see what you mean, i'll fix that now.

Thanks. Though, for general reference, how do I delete a template anyway?

I know how to delete a whole style, but can't seem to find an option to remove a specific template.

Okay, fixed that little oversight (uploaded).

I don't know how you would delete a single template from the master set, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.
