[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.

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.

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

PHP Code:

<?php

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

Since it is stored in the db, all you have to do is run the query for the info in the file you want to run for the new page. I use a query for it in my forumhome cache stats hack. The file is run by cron isn't it?

[dfmafia]

from the instructions:

################################################## ####################
# Scheduled tasks to add
################################################## ####################

In your admin control panel add a new scheduled task. Name it whatever you
want and set it to run in filename: ./includes/cron/memberoftheday.php


so i would do this:

PHP Code:

<?php
include('/home/XXX/XXX/forums/includes/cron/member_of_the_day.php');
?>

[dfmafia]

i dont want to use the format im using for the forums

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

Is there any way to edit this hack so that you just pick the member of the week yourself? By let's say entering a member-id somewhere or something?
