Attention:
Completely new version by the way, i'm working on it now. note written: 6-10-2007


Many thanks:
Paul M for his permission to capture pieces of code from his mods.


Name: Most active user (today/last week/last month/ever) Fully controlled

Descreption: Display most active user on the forums for the last day / last week / last month or ever over the boards, also with his post count for this period.


How it works:

• During installation process it calculate & select required data, then insert it in a new table.
• after that it will process the calculations through cron jops (1 cron dailly: caculates most active user for the last day & most active user ever / 1 cron caculates most active user for the last week / 1 cron caculates most active user for the last month).
• So the heavy DB Queries will be done once not every page load .
• This mod uses 4 queries to request already-calculated data that is stored in the database, each one query just request 1 row including 6 fields only, so there is not any DB load, or time load increase after installing this mod.

Features:

1. can enable/disable the mod globally.
2. can select to choose most active user for the last day or for the last 24 hours.
3. can select certain usergroups to show.
4. can do auto template change, with the ability to disable this feature & do these edits manually.
5. can choose wwhere to display it by defining Auto-Template Search Text (advanced).
6. can Collapse Display by default.
7. can enable/disable most ever active user.
8. can enable/disable most active user for the month before.
9. can enable/disable most active user for the week before.
10. can enable/disable most active user for the day before.
11. the mod hide null entries (if there is no active user for the last X it will not appear auto.)
12. this mod displays the most active user & behind his name there is the post count for the X period.
13. can exclude certain usergroups from being counted in most ative user. v1.5.0
14. can exclude certain users from being counted in most ative user. v1.5.0
15. can enable/disable showing usernames with formating tags (prefix / sufix) for usergroups. v1.5.0
16. can enable/disable display post count of most active user. v1.5.0
17. can enable/disable linking usernames with user profiles. v1.5.0
18. uses cron jop for calculations. v1.5.0
19. fully phrased.

the user colors depends on tags pre-defined for usergroups.

it calculates the activity upon the real post count on the forums.

Well it doesnt seem to be working for me. I of course have the usergroups coded properly. Other than that I love it.

this mod tested on many boards & works fine, check for the option of "showing usernames with formating tags (prefix / sufix) for usergroups" in your admincp (should be on).
also check if the usergroup that the certain user related to it has formating tags.

and yes I have all groupes enabled
