Top Posters mod for vb 3.6.

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 (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 (or excluded) in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown. Excluded is only available from v3.29 onwards.

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

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

Thank you Paul!
It's possible to add additional user group? I have some special user group on my forum like "User premium" ,"Special Users" ecc.. how can I add they?

The settings are in vBulletin Options (Top Posters Section).

As my ideology s "translate everything you can" it will be cool if you also add a translation string here:

Code:

	<td class='thead' colspan='$cspan'><div class="smallfont">Version $version : ? Paul Marsden $copyrightyear</div></td>

I made it so

Code:

	<td class='thead' colspan='$cspan'><div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[version] $version : ? Paul Marsden $copyrightyear</div></td>

+ Added this one:

Code:

			<phrase name="version" date="1152000000" username="Paul M" version="3.24"><![CDATA[Version]]></phrase>

LOL, I might update it locally (so it's part of any future version) but I'm not releasing an update just for that.

Is there a way to exclude posts that are made in a certain forum (ie: offtopic forum)? Thanks, great hack! Installed.

Paul M · #**118** 12-22-2006, 04:48 AM

Nope, that is not a feature.

KURTZ · #**119** 12-25-2006, 03:51 PM

thx Paul

Thanks!! Installed it and clicked installed.

Little bit strange question maybe, but where can I see the Top Poster link somewhere inside the forum to check the Top Posters?

As it says ;

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
