Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.
Support questions from members who have not marked this as installed will be considered low priority.


Attention:
Completely new version by the way, i'm working on it now. note written: 6-10-2007


Many thanks:
Paul M for his permission to capture pieces of code from his mods.


Name: Most active user (today/last week/last month/ever) Fully controlled

Descreption: Display most active user on the forums for the last day / last week / last month or ever over the boards, also with his post count for this period.


How it works:

• During installation process it calculate & select required data, then insert it in a new table.
• after that it will process the calculations through cron jops (1 cron dailly: caculates most active user for the last day & most active user ever / 1 cron caculates most active user for the last week / 1 cron caculates most active user for the last month).
• So the heavy DB Queries will be done once not every page load .
• This mod uses 4 queries to request already-calculated data that is stored in the database, each one query just request 1 row including 6 fields only, so there is not any DB load, or time load increase after installing this mod.

Features:

1. can enable/disable the mod globally.
2. can select to choose most active user for the last day or for the last 24 hours.
3. can select certain usergroups to show.
4. can do auto template change, with the ability to disable this feature & do these edits manually.
5. can choose wwhere to display it by defining Auto-Template Search Text (advanced).
6. can Collapse Display by default.
7. can enable/disable most ever active user.
8. can enable/disable most active user for the month before.
9. can enable/disable most active user for the week before.
10. can enable/disable most active user for the day before.
11. the mod hide null entries (if there is no active user for the last X it will not appear auto.)
12. this mod displays the most active user & behind his name there is the post count for the X period.
13. can exclude certain usergroups from being counted in most ative user. v1.5.0
14. can exclude certain users from being counted in most ative user. v1.5.0
15. can enable/disable showing usernames with formating tags (prefix / sufix) for usergroups. v1.5.0
16. can enable/disable display post count of most active user. v1.5.0
17. can enable/disable linking usernames with user profiles. v1.5.0
18. uses cron jop for calculations. v1.5.0
19. fully phrased.

and yes I have all groupes enabled

as you know: you as an admin can edit some one's post count by editing his user acount from admincp, this modification doesn't depend on that value & it counts the posts of that user to get the real post count of him/her. so i said "real post count".

regarding to the rest: i see the mod works fine in your forums (that in your signature).

I have this installed...but the one for the past day is stuck on the same person with (31) and has been for several days...since I installed this...what can I do?

This is what it looks like:

Most active user for the last day Yvette (31)
Most active user for the last week *~Aimee~* (285)
Most active user for the last month *~Aimee~* (1758)
Most active user ever is *~Aimee~* (1758)

Had to unactivate it right now! When I have it off, it works fine.

I just uninstalled it too. It isn't moving from day to day. It has said the same post count since I installed it.

Hi

Great mod, thank you.

Can this be limited to a certain forum(s)?

Is there a way to grab this information from within the postbit template so I can use a conditional like $is_todays_top_poster[.... to display a badge under the user's name in the postbit?

Thanks in advance

Most active user for the last week *~Aimee~* (285)
Most active user for the last month *~Aimee~* (1758)
Most active user ever is *~Aimee~* (1758)

It might do this only in case of that this user (Yvette) is the Most active user for the last day & has 31 posts in each day, otherwise it shouldn't do that. (Be sure you have the latest version of the hack).

Yes, if you notice the features & technical notes you will observe that the hack uses cron jops to calculate the stats, thats means that these stats updated daily (you can edit the cron jop to be runned at a different time interval if you wish).

it seems to be working but not the Most active user for the last day
it changes each day but it keep showing members who made like 1 post when there ar members who have made like 5 to 10 post each day and I dont have any set to exclude.
