Miscellaneous Hacks - Top Posters List

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This displays a page with the Top Forum Posters for a given set of periods. Two of the 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 for these columns are 1 day, 7 days & 28 days (note that 0 = off).

* The number of posters to be shown can be set, the default is the Top 10 posters.
* You can select which usergroups are included (or excluded) in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown
* You can exclude individual userids such as rss posters.
* You can exclude forums from the counts - however, this exclusion does not apply to the final "overall" count.
* If enabled, this will also add a link to your Quick Links or Community Links menus.
* There is an option to prefix the link path if you use something like CMPS.
* Usergroup & forum settings now display actual lists rather than needing csv id lists.

To install just unzip the xml file and import it using the Product Manager

Installed, works good but doesn't use the stylevars. Edited the CSS to do what I wanted though.

Thanks!

[Paul M]

What stylevars exactly ?

Most everything in the CSS is hardcoded to a color, a light color. As I use a darker theme on my site it didn't go well.

I mostly used the stylevar blockrow to fix it so it looked the way I needed.

This is fantastic! Very simple!

If I wanted to call to the script to make a "top posters" Forum Box that only included all-time top posters, how would you recommend I do this?

[Paul M]

You cannot do that - other than to write a whole new modification to do it.

I think I found a bug in this one, posts deleted softly still get counted, can you please look at this?

Thanks in advance.

Installed ... very nice Paul .. thank you ..

For those wanting to change CSS variables to suit custom styles, this mod uses:

custom_top.css

Thanks in advance.

I replaced line 270 with this:

$where = $wherecond."AND rpl.dateline > $start[$col] AND rpl.visible = 1";

It seems to work, please let me know Paul M if this fix is healthy, thanks
