Top xx Posters List · **Released**: 07-13-2005

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.5 version of my Top (10) Posters hack.

This has now been re-vamped for the release of version 3.xx - the hack no longer uses a seperate topposters.php file.

This hack 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 in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown.

To upgrade (if you want to) uninstall version 2.xx and re-install this version. Note the url to display the page has changed.

History:

v3.01 - First public version 3
v3.02 - Fixed display error reported in post 59
v3.03 - Fixed display error reported in post 84
v3.11 - Series of additions, upgrades and settings added.
v3.12 - Updated install code to check for existing index.
v3.13 - Fixed uncached templates added in v3.11
v3.14 : Changes to display layout.
v3.15 : Minor changes, no update necessary.
v3.16 : Fixed bug in monthly totals caculation.

Anyone know if this is possible and how you could do it?

I agree this would be good, i want to run a Comp for the highest poster in a 28 day period.

You would need a seperate hack to do that.

Nice one.

Suggestions:
1. style: < div style = "float:left" > for users, < ... "float:right" >for postcount. That makes the table more professional.
2. sortorder: second sortorder for names. Otherwise users with same postcount will be shown different each time you refresh the page.

Because there is an RSS Mod Poster in my vB.

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