Top xx Posters List

This modification is no longer available or supported.

The 3.5 version of my Top (10) Posters hack.

This has now been re-vamped for the release of version 3.xx - the hack no longer uses a seperate topposters.php file.

This hack displays a page with the Top Forum Posters for a given set of periods. Two periods are fixed ('This Month' & 'Overall') but can be turned off in the options. The other three periods are user definable (in days) - the default values are 1 day (24 hours), 7 days & 28 days. These three columns cannot be turned off.

The number of posters to be shown can also be set, the default is the top 10 posters. You can also select which usergroups are included in the count, so members in banned groups etc are not shown.

To upgrade (if you want to) uninstall version 2.xx and re-install this version. Note the url to display the page has changed.

Read the previous two/three posts - you can't, there is no such functionality in it.

A small bug:

Find:

			<if "condition=$vboptions[tpmonth]">
				<td class='thead' width='$cwidth%' align='center'>$vbphrase[top_posters_col4]</td>
			</if>
			<if "condition=$vboptions[tpall]">
				<td class='thead' width='$cwidth%' align='center'>$vbphrase[top_posters_col5]</td>
			</if>

Replace:

			<if condition="$vboptions[tpmonth]">
				<td class='thead' width='$cwidth%' align='center'>$vbphrase[top_posters_col4]</td>
			</if>
			<if condition="$vboptions[tpall]">
				<td class='thead' width='$cwidth%' align='center'>$vbphrase[top_posters_col5]</td>
			</if>

Gah. I fixed that locally before release, but didn't update the master template that gets exported by the Product Manager. Thanks for spotting it. Fixed template uploaded as v3.03

Every time I try to import this hack it just hangs and the import does not seem to get completed. After this my server's performance seems to be impacted greatly. Page generation times go from under 1 second to above 10. Any idea what's going on? I had the previous version with the topposters.php file installed and that worked great. I'll have to click uninstall for the time being.
