[VB3 RC3] Member of the day · **Released**: 01-16-2004

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

Not sure if anyone has answered this anywhere... but I've added this to my vba cmps.

Here how i did it (I have no idea if this is the BEST way to do it):

1. Edit global.php

Find:

PHP Code:


			
$specialtemplates = array_merge($specialtemplates, 
        array(
            'adv_modules',

add BELOW:

PHP Code:


			
'memberoftheday',

Find:

PHP Code:


			
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates,
        array(
             'adv_portal',

Add BELOW:

PHP Code:


			
'memberoftheday',

Find:

PHP Code:


			
/*======================================================================*\
|| ####################################################################
|| # Downloaded: 13:38, Tue Feb 22nd 2005
|| # CVS: $RCSfile: global.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.256.2.5 $
|| ####################################################################
\*======================================================================*/

Add ABOVE:

PHP Code:


			
$mday = unserialize($datastore['memberoftheday']);
if (!$mday['hascustomavatar'] && $mday['avatarpath'])
{
    $avatarurl = $mday['avatarpath'];
}
else
{
    $avatarurl = "vboptions[bburl]/image.php?u=$mday[userid]";
}
eval('$memberoftheday .= "' . fetch_template('memberoftheday') . '";');

2. create new template adv_portal_member

Add code:

PHP Code:


			
$memberoftheday

3. Add a new module:

Module Title: Member of the Day
Template to Include: member

Place it wherever you like (left, center, right)

That's it.

you can see this in action here: http://www.vagrantcafe.com/index.php?

this is my code for my memberoftheday template:

PHP Code:


			
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="80%">

<tr><td class="alt1" width="100%"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
        <tr> 
          <td class="alt1"><img src="$avatarurl"></td>
    <td class="alt1"><b>Vagrant of the Day: <a target="_top" href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?&u=$mday[userid]">$mday[username]</a></b><br/><br/>
      
      View $mday[username]'s <a target="_top" href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?&u=$mday[userid]">Profile</a><BR>
      View $mday[username]'s <a target="_top" href="$vboptions[bburl]/usernote.php?&u=$mday[userid]">UserNotes</a><BR>
      View $mday[username]'s <a target="_top" href="$vboptions[bburl]/buddies.php?&u=$mday[userid]">Friends</a><BR>
      Posts: $mday[posts]</span><br/>
    <if condition="$mday[age]">Age: $mday[age]</span><br/></if>
    
    Favorite forum: <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/forumdisplay.php?f=$mday[forumid]">$mday[forumname]</a> </td>
        </tr>
        
        </table></td></tr>
</table><BR>

i literally just figured out and installed this tonight... so i'll probably change my look at a bit.

I'm getting this too on my testboard. Here are the settings I have everything at.
I have created a couple test members, and just posted several threads for each.

$restrictedGroups = "0";
$posts = 0;
$lastactivity = 90;
$lastpost = 30;
$reputation = 0;
$days = 7;
$privateForums = "0";

When I run the scheduler, I get that "Couldn't elect a member of the day, not enough members"

any ideas?

cdoyle · #**125** 05-16-2005, 10:12 PM

I got it to work, I was having the problem because this is a test forum, and I only have about 7 members listed. Since the hack wouldn't allow you to 'repeat' member of the day for at least 7 days, that is why I would get the error.

I just decreased it to 1 day and it worked finally.

Now to install on the real forum!!

cdoyle · #**126** 05-20-2005, 12:52 AM

Has support for this hack stopped?

I did finally get everything working, and got it to work on my CMPS page. But was wondering if some other features could be added?

Is it possible to display the users profile image? (I think that question was asked before, but I didn't see an answer)

Or how about also displaying their signature?

I hope the creator of this hack is still around!

Thanks in advance
Chris.

Well the hack is not marked as supported - but that may just be an oversight. The coder last visited four days ago so he's still around.

Dont you think that will be a little over doing it? How much do you want to have people go through when they are trying to get to your forums?

If you really want it just input the variables using the hacks syntax.

cdoyle · #**129** 05-20-2005, 08:57 PM

I'm not really sure what you mean by input the 'vairables using the hacks syntax' I'm new to this, could you give me an example of what you mean?

Thanks
Chris.

I've just noticed something, it seems that it selects a new user whenever you refresh the screen?

I've checked the scheduler and it's only suppose to run on the 23rd hour of each day.

Anyone know why it would be selecting a new one, everytime the page is refreshed or opened?

Also, I'm still not sure what I would need to do add the profile pic?

Chris.

Did you run the queries from the install? Somehow the cron is running everytime you refresh.
