[VB3 RC3] Member of the day

Tested in 3.0.1

This hack lets you "elect" a member of the day (member of any period of
time actually, but defaults to member of the day).

The member of the day is someone randomly picked from all the users in
your forum that have certain amount of posts the day before, that have
visited the forum and that have at least 50 posts and 10 reputation. You
can also change that values.

By default it appers in top of the forumhome. It is a nice way for members
of the forum to get to know each other.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Add the templates to all skins.

Also have one small problem i've noticed. It's set for me to change member of the day at 6:00pm every day. Ever since i had this hack, my DB crashes at 6:00pm every day for a few minutes..Any idea why this hack causes it. I say this hack, because i never had this problem until using this hack.

hmmm hopefully someone will know any solution's to this. I added the skin's I do have to the default skin but it seem's for some reason member of the day will only show in default and two other's.

Can you help me so that I can make it so that it will show all skin's.

Please and thank you. :laugh:

Thanks!

Take out this code out of the memberoftheday template to make it transparent - class="tborder"


Take this code out to shrink the space between the lines of info. - cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]"

I also put a font size="1" around the text to make it smaller

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="80%" align="center">
<tr>
<td><img src="$avatarurl"></td>

I'm also interested on using this on the cmps... has anyone accomplish this successfully? i did it, but only the avatar show in the block anyone else has tried it?

I would like to add a link in the memberoftheday template to pm the member, so if people want to pm the member of the day they can click right there and send it..

kisersose - you need to go into scheduled tasks and click 'run now' to start it off and run it the first time - go to admin cp > scheduled tasks > scheduled tasks manager - then look for the name you gave the task, and click the 'run now' button below it.

still the same question (for remember propouses only :P )...

Does any one convertered this to a CMPS module? or atleast that it could be showed on the CMPS main page???

I'll be very pleased if anyone could help me

thx

If I wanted to run this more than once on a board, could I do this? For example if I wanted 'member of the day', yet I also wanted 'moderator of the month' - any ideas on what to add or how to do that?
