[VB3 RC3] Member of the day

Tested in 3.0.1

This hack lets you "elect" a member of the day (member of any period of
time actually, but defaults to member of the day).

The member of the day is someone randomly picked from all the users in
your forum that have certain amount of posts the day before, that have
visited the forum and that have at least 50 posts and 10 reputation. You
can also change that values.

By default it appers in top of the forumhome. It is a nice way for members
of the forum to get to know each other.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission
Some portions of the code are (c) Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

In my cron jobs
i have set the hours to be 13 and minutes 0
is that fine ??

also the avtars are still not getting displayed.

1 more things, i have set to give 50 points to users who get this Member of Day Title.
But, it just shows members reputation to be done on the Member of Day box.

weras in there profiles it shows more. :S

Any fix for this
Thnx.

I have 2 questions:

If I set it to run once/week, does that mean that $days now stand for 1 week, or do I still set it so that the same member can't be "member of the week" in i.e 14 for 2 weeks?

In that case does 14 mean 14 days (2 weeks) or 14 weeks (since it's only being updated once/week).

Also, I've made it so that it's being updated every monday. Do I need to set an exact hour & minute for it to be done or will it just automaticly do it sunday night at midnight?

You need to use $mday[field5], please let me know if that works as expected.

Yes! Thank you, the $mday[field5] works like a charm!

Some of the avatars are still not showing up though.

When I look at the source code of the avatar image in their profile, it may be that the ones that look like this are showing up:

And the ones that look like this are not showing up:

This question was here before, but never was answered. Is there a way to show the information member of the day in the postbit for that user, that got elected?

[Alex]

I tried to do it myself (to get the information "member of the day" in the postbit).
My steps were:
I inserted the same things that go into index.php in the showthread.php. Also I inserted the 'memberoftheday' into showthread.php to the datastore. Even though I don't get the variables in the postbit.

Can someone help me out here?

[Alex]

Anyone?

I don't like the original look of this mod, because it was so big, took up too much space, and whatnot, so I changed it a bit.

What do you think of the way it looks now, on my forums?

looks impressive, i did the same when i had this mod installed, but due to extra amount of queries i had to take it off

[sully02]

Has someone already converted this into a CMPS module? If so, I'd like to see it. If not... I may give it a try, though my PHP is rusty at best.

[mokoboo]

Need help here, I installed your hack, but since I did, the database is down... the forums shows "refresh" and VB database error...
Please help me

Just run the cron job for it and then use a query to pull the info from the db.
