Top 10 Points add-on

[lifesourcerec]

Would be nice to have a Top 10 Points add-on for the points hack.

^^ Bumps ^^... How tough would this be?

[Zerodark]

wouldn't be that tough,..i'll give it a shot for you. i'll let you know later of the progress.

Ok. Thanks. Sounds like it would be similar to the other Top 10 hacks.

I've done this before many months ago for my forum, but took it out. But you are free to use it.

In index.php, assuming you have installed the Statistic hack -

Find (approximately code that looks like this):

PHP Code:

//Top 10 Thread Starters
$toptstarter=$DB_site->query("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count,postuserid,postusername FROM thread WHERE postuserid<>0 GROUP BY postuserid ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 10");
while ($topt5top = mysql_fetch_array($toptstarter)):
    ++$topt5topnbsp;
    $topt5name .= "<a href=member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$topt5top[postuserid]>$topt5top[postusername]</a><br>";
    $topt5post .= "$topt5top[count]<br>";
endwhile; 


BELOW, ADD:

PHP Code:

//Top 10 Most Points - Erwin
$toppoints = $DB_site->query('
    SELECT user.userid, username, fieldXX
    FROM user
    LEFT JOIN userfield USING (userid)
    ORDER BY fieldXX DESC LIMIT 10
');
while ($topb5top = mysql_fetch_array($toppoints)):
    ++$topb5topnbsp;
    $topbname .= "<a href=member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$topb5top[userid]>$topb5top[username]</a><br>";
    $topbpost .= "$topb5top[fieldXX]<br>";
endwhile; 


Replace the XX in fieldXX (which occurs 3 times) to the profile field id for your points.

Then, in your Top10 statistics template (whatever it is called), add this to the template:

Find:

                    <TD width="25%" valign="top">
			<smallfont>

<b>Top 10 Thread Starters:</b>

<table>
<tr>
<td width=100%><smallfont>User Names:</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>Threads:</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=100%><smallfont><b>$topt5name</b></smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont><b>$topt5post</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

			</smallfont></td>

BELOW, ADD:

                    <TD width="25%" valign="top">
			<smallfont>

<b>Top 10 Most Points:</b>

<table>
<tr>
<td width=100%><smallfont>User Names:</smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont>Points:</smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=100%><smallfont><b>$topbname</b></smallfont></td>
<td align="right"><smallfont><b>$topbpost</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

			</smallfont></td>

It worked on my site when I used it.

Thanks Erwin.

$topbname
$topbpost variables doesn't work since I installed Top 10 Thread Stats v1.0 (less templates to worry about). I'll change the variables to the ones I used.

[lifesourcerec]

It works now, had to remove the spaces between the , and the words. Thanks

[Erwin]

No problems. Glad it works for you.

[lifesourcerec]

hehe another question

How difficult would this be to have them appear on a non-vB page (looking at last 10 posts hack on non-VB page).

One minor problem. It only does 1 digit, so after 9 points, they disappear from the Top 10 list. Any way of fixing that?
