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

[PHILIPS-08]

thanx alot for the great mod i was looking for this

[g00gl3r]

Is there a 3.7 & 3.8 version or will this work on both?

[TFEX]

My coder and I have made a significant update to this mod for my own forum's purposes that I hope is ok to share with all of you here. If not, please feel free to remove the attached file.

This version will allow admins to exclude forum id's from the counts along with users and usergroups. The postcount numbers will accurately report the changes on the forumhome.

Once you have re-uploaded and installed, simply set the forums you want to exclude in "vBulletin Options -> Most Active User Last X" and then run the three related cron jobs again from your scheduled tasks area to see the results immediately.


Installed and working on vb 3.8
