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
I have installed this Hack, and in the config portion of the index.php code
i have it set to use the user permissions when gathering latest threads/posts
PHP Code:
$exclusions['userperms'] = true; // Use user permissions when gathering threads/posts?
But all of my users can still see the latest threads/posts from all of the private forums. Is there anywhere else that I need to change something to prevent the hidden posts from showing up in the latest thread box?
Hey ! Useful hack.. Thanks
Can you please add a "Top Threaders" (or any other name) which will show, in the same format of the "top posters", the users who started the most threads ?
EDIT - And another Q: What should i do if I want only the Top Poster and just as a little custom box in the vBindex (not the format u gave) ?
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.
Can you or someone tell me how to integrate this hack into TheAnt's sidebar, please? Also would love to add the Avatar to it as well. I would appriciate it.
