Zero Tolernce's "Percentage of Forum Posts" Code:
If you've got the hack by Zero Tolerence you may follow these additional instructions.

Find this code:

$vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong><br />Posts per Day: <phrase 1="$postsperday"><strong>$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</strong></phrase>

Replace with this code:

$vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong><br />Posts per Day: <phrase 1="$postsperday"><strong>$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</strong></phrase> <br />Percentage of Posts on this forum belong to $userinfo[username]: <strong>$postpercentage%</strong>

That gives you the percent of forum posts in MEMBERINFO template with the same look to it. Don't foget to click install!

Demo? screenshots?

[adamgessel]

Yeah... I want to see how this looks before I install...

[King Kovifor]

Yeah, I was actually fixing something before I took screen shots. It was enough to release it with but the location of rank and reputation was mixed up. I'll be adding screenshots to the ZIP asap.

EDIT: I've got Zero Tolerence's hack installed so you'd notice that it's in there.
EDIT 2: Screenies added. You may now see it, but don't download and install yet. I've gotta fix the instructions.
EDIT 3: Instructions re-added. You may install. Please if you get an error report it and I'll give appropriate insturctions. I might have not deleted the zip on my desktop before uploading.

You mean you just want it to be JUST percent? Do the instructions for Zero Tolence's "Percent of FOrums Posts" and than add this code:

$vbphrase[total_posts]: <strong>$userinfo[posts]</strong><br />Posts per Day: <phrase 1="$postsperday"><strong>$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]</strong></phrase> <br /><strong>$postpercentage%</strong>

That just gives the percent of posts. If you'd like it to have the prefix of:

Percentage of Posts on this forum belong to $userinfo[username]:

Do the instructions in the first post...

Click install if you have installed it.

Thanks for the hack, installed Had to add everything else, such as the Journal and Webpage/Guestbook, but it's easy to get around, and I do quite like how you have it all organized.. I always thought the default profile pages looked boring on their own :P

Thanks. I'm going to be added a better design to it soon. It'll be much much nicer. The next attempt will probably be redesigning the Contact info as it does suck the way it's done.

[commTRU]

I do like the look of 1.0.3; It looks much more organised, and I agree - The contact info is rather bland too. I wonder if the additional info could be seperated? From what I gather in the code, it's kinda all bunched together.

By the way, I think you forgot to include the template code in the zip file

I like what you're with the profile page though!

[King Kovifor]

I'll attempt the additional information at a later date. Something wrong with the zip... I'll check tomorrow.
