Are there any new feature requests next to the graphical display of the statistics?

This looks like an excellent addition, but I couldn't work out how the stats were ordered? Do you have a choice how they're ordered? Are they ordered at all?

Top posters on the bulletin board => Order by posts
Newest members on the bulletin board => Order by date
Latest replies on the bulletin board => Order by date
Most viewed threads => Order by number of views
Most replied to threads => Order by number of replies
Top posters on the bulletin board including thread and post % => Order by posts
Your statistics on the bulletin board => No ordering

Maybe a nice thing to add dynamic ordering in the future

Tested and running on 3.5.1

All,

In attachment the first screenshot of the next version including rendered bar graphics.

I'm buidling it to be really dynamic

[yessir]

It's a nice mod for sure.

2 things I would like to see better.

• Support for 800 x 600 width display.
• The abililty to refresh the current stats with a larger count. Right now, you have to change the count (get returned to the main menu) and reselect your stat query.

[stonyarc]

All,

Feel free to test out the version 1.0.0

http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/forums/vbstatextended.php

features:

- full phrases (in dev)
- graphics (in dev)
- easy stat select
- query performance (in dev)

Have fun

I'll be releasing this very soon !

The demo sees terrible good, especially the Statistics dashboard are very nice.

I have 1 question:
How do I aligned my templates, see attachment.
My Main Table Width is not 100% but 800.

Fantastic stuff! I have a couple of issues though...

I'm getting this error message when trying to create a graphical chart:
Warning: imagepng(): Unable to open 'generated/posters.png' for writing in /libchart/classes/PieChart.php on line 367

Yes, I double-checked the permissions of 'generated'

I also have a thread showing up twice with different statistics in the list. If I were to take a guess, I'd say it was because I moved the thread (can't remember if there was a redirect, can't find one). It looks to me like it's treated the before/after move as two separate threads despite the fact the older one no longer exists.

And just a small suggestion, would be nice to have the Pie Chart option greyed out when it can't be used.

Thanks for the mod!
