Top Posters per Forum (shown in forumdisplay)

What does this hack do?

This hack shows the top poster in each forum, in the forumdisplay template (so when viewing the forum, you can see the top poster for that forum).

The line that displays the top poster for the forum is in the template, so you can move it anywhere you want it to show up!

Modifications

• show highest posters from last 24 hours
• link member usernames to their profiles

Change Log

version 1.1

See ya.

But, do you have any proof of it having such an intensive impact on large boards? Screenshot maybe, with this hack installed and uninstalled?

What about comparing this query to the queries used in the search page, or the memberlist? Eh? This isn't as intensive as those are; it's just a straight-forward query that lists all the users who have posted in the forum

im getting This forum's top poster is with posts! but with no name. I have tried to install it twice both with the same result. In forumdisplay i have 3 different eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumdisplay')."\" );");. I only used it on the 1 maybe thats my mistake

[Gary King]

3 different ones? The stock vBulletin forumdisplay.php only has 1

Anyways, you should place the code before the final

PHP Code:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumdisplay')."\");"); 

of forumdisplay.php
