Miscellaneous Hacks - Top Posters

This modification is no longer available or supported.

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

Hi! I really wanted to add another column of the rank of each user is the list, perhaps to put a small icon near the three top members in each category (in the three top rows, and have a number of the ranking in the other rows), but i couldn't add another column without messing up your hack completely. can you please upgrade it a bit? thanks.

I don't really know what you mean by "upgrade it a bit", but I'm not planning any changes to this.

[FatalBreeze]

so can you give a hint on how to add another column (a sixth column) which shows the number of each row (=the rank of each row) please?

[upparoom]

installed, but it only updated some skins.

can you link the code to update manually?

[HoGGeT]

I installed it but some user groups are not shown at top posters
how can I show that at there?

I know you have been asked this question a ton of times before, but when I went to add the link to the nav bar (I have a custom style) I could not find this:

PHP Code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td></tr> 


Is there someplace else I should put the coding to add the link to the nav bar?

[joeychgo]

Hey Paul -

Is there a way to pull from this hack - the top posters in the last 28 days - and display just that data someplace else such as a forumhome column or a CMPS module?

[Paul M]

Not directly no.
