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


History:

v3.7.001 - First 3.7 release.
v3.7.002 - Fix counting of guest posts in certain circumstances.

Hi Paul
Iam bit new to all of this...
So
Regarding to all of your mods...I need to upgrade Vbulletin, before that I should disable or uninstall mods ?

Thanks

[Paul M]

You can upgrade vb without disabling any of my mods - however, some of them require file edits, and or extra files to be uploaded, which you must remember to re-do.

This mod does not require any action.

I know tha you will say ask their support but .... Ive installed Vbadvanced and on my homepage (under vba) in navbar there is link to your mod, but when I click on it nothing hapends!?(through my forums link is ok)

im looking for some help in adding just the overall column to a block of space on a menu on my forum home. could somebody tell me how to go about adding this?

[aciurczak]

On our forum some subforums are set to not have posts count in the overall post count. It looks like the "overall" column in Top Posters takes that into account, but the 1, 7, and 28 day columns do not. Certainly not a dealbreaker by any means, but perhaps a fix could be put in for the next revision.

I was able to work around it by removing some usergroups in the display.

[Paul M]

There will be no "fix", the overall column reads the postcount direct from the user table (same as the standard postbit display).

[aciurczak]

Fine by me, but the queries for the 1, 7, and 28 columns may provide different results (different usersets) than the Overall column, and it's not intuitive why they do that until one looks into it a little further. The naive user may assume that they are all the same query with only a different timescale, but that's not the case.

Hi! Great plugin

I would like to make some changes and need help. I want to put on my main page only one column of to posters results. How can I do that? And I will appreciate some details. I know that I will need to change my templates - I just don't know how to get data from chosen column and does those data are available on footer template. If not how to change it?

Thanks in advance
