Top Statistics - Multiple Types

This hack is basically 5 hacks in one: Top Posters, Newest Members, Latest Threads, Latest Posts and Online Today. I've tried to make each as featureful as the singular hacks, though I'm open to suggestions. Each stat type can be turned on and off, and everything save Online Today has a limit variable where you can limit the amount of records to retrieve from the database. A "feature" overview:

• [Enable/Disable] Top Posters
• [Enable/Disable] Latest Threads
• [Enable/Disable] Latest Posts
• [Enable/Disable] Online Today
• [Enable/Disable] Newest Members
• [Limit] Number of Top Posters to display
• [Limit] Number of Latest Threads to display
• [Limit] Number of Latest Posts to display
• [Limit] Number of Newest Members to display
• Use user permissions when gathering Latest Threads and Latest Posts
• Specify forums to skip when gathering Latest Threads and Latest Posts (overrides the user permission setting)
• Specify the specific forums that Latest Threads and Latest Posts should come from (overrides both the above setting, and user permission setting)
• Online Today also retrieves "openhtml" and "closehtml" (ie. admins are bold and italic)
• Online Today includes buddy/invisible marks (Buddy: + and Invisible: *)
• Invisible users remain hidden except to those who can see them

It does use conditions...

And I was thinking of the vbphrase too, but there are so little things that are hard-coded in, I thought that the hackee would find it easier to just change them instead of create vbphrases. I'll put it on my list for things to do.

XHTML, small edit. Also on my list.

And the separate page. I'll have a go at it later

I integrated this hack into TheAnt's sidebar. Also removed the "What's Going On?" box and login form and combined the code from those into the sidebar as well. Added avatar to the top. Looks good! Had to modify the hack a little to make it fit into the sidebar cleanly. Check it out: http://MyGanjaGrow.com.

Now If I could just get the sidebar to the left side of the page all would be good.

I'm using the sidebar TheANT released, and when I paste the code into the sidebar it screws up the width of the sidebar and the forum listings. How would one make these two work together?

I really only need:
- Latest Threads
- Newest Members

Thanks,

Hi Chroder, the hack looks pretty nice.

One question. Have you checked that in the 'latest posts' section no post is displayed which is in an pwd protected board or in a board where the user has no access to?

This is very important!

Those settings are in the config portion of the index.php mode code

Great Hack but I do notice if I have latest posts or thread enabled it does seem to put a pretty good server load so I have turned them off and it cranks
also a different font for who was online today and top posters anyway to fix that?

Great Job!

Nice!
