vBFavorites v1.0 · **Released**: 12-29-2002

Alright everyone, here's my first (hopefully of many) released hack, so have mercy

This hack adds a category to your index.php page containing the X (customizable) most frequented forums by that particular user. This hack does not apply to guests however, or members who have no (or less than a customizable amount of) posts.

Not much more to it, it's a very simple 2 minute install and it should (although I haven't verified it) work across 2.2.x. A live demo will be available soon at Somethingleet, but for now some screenshots will have to do. Please let me know the url of the forums you install it on, if you do, I like seeing where my work is used

Screenshots:
Screenshot of what it looks like to your qualifying user with a sufficient number of posts - [here]
Screenshot of how it appears to a guest - [here]
Screenshot of how it appears to a registered user without a sufficient number of posts - [here]

Minihacks & Customizations:
Exclude a forum from favorites
Make 'Your Favorites' Username's favorites

If you like the hack, make sure and install it!

"most frequented forums by that particular user" ??? It looks as they are displayed random, not in any relation to the postingbehavior of a member.

No, they display the forums that the user posted most in. In the first screenshot the user posted 6 times in the main forum, 6 times in the secondary forum, and twice in the third-ary and fourth-ary forums. Third-ary is displayed over fouth-ary because it has a higher posting order.

A single SQL query, which you can find in line 33 of the installation text file

It takes the 3 (or whatever number you specify) forums in which the user has made the most posts,

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
