Credits: One of my clients for commissioning it

Files Altered: /cache_builders/top_posters.php, /languages/english/island_top_posters.php

Database Altered: none

Info: Make this modification, set the number of days you'd like to use, and clear your cache

Works fine in 7.1 - only difference being the location of the language string.

Looks good Josh, keep up the good work

Nice idea!

What if I wanted to have both though?
Could it be converted to a custom island?

Yes, you'd need to add the appropriate code into your custom island tho. (php code above to the top and the template code down below).

Does anyone have the Code for this as Custom Island.
Ive been trying but get an error when i submit it?

Its probably because i havnt split it correctly like Allen sugests.

Thanks in advance.

Mark.

This only works in 7.0; see this for 7.1

Gizmo there two diffrent subjects.
I have that one running you linked too.

Ive seen this "Top Posters in Last X Days "
Running on a 7.1 board, Ian W's.

I think its a really neat addon,
but i'm having problems with the code.

Maybe Ian would be so kind to share the code?

Mark.

Sorry, it was late when i posted, i was confusing it for another mod; but I haven't heard of this running succuessfully in 7.1 other than ian's forum

I'm going to have another go at this tonight.
Probably screw it up lol...

If i get it working will post below. 7.1

Should be pretty much the same code, with the exception of Ian's noted language string difference.

I realised my mistake

For what ever reason? ( I blame too much coffee )

I had in my head that it was a custom island add in?



I was trying to get it as a custom island,
so i could have both, but i was being greedy....

So i'm having problems converting it too a custom island.

Summary..

The code works great
I cant suss a second island to run at the same time.

Thanks to JoshPet for a better Top Posters.

p.s Is there anyway to modify out a banned user?

Yeah, I'm running this on 7.1 sites, no changes.

Runs fine - no issues - just change the string mentioned and you will be fine

I've made this work with both Top Posters in Last 30 Days and Top Posters overall. Example of both in play

I've taken Josh's instructions and updated them on how to have BOTH on your forums.

Sorta my first foray off my own back...and it's a bit trickier to do with custom islands because of the way the system forces content creation on the customs. Hopefully this works for you

Oh, and this is working on 7.1.1

nice mod

and i love that dark theme you have...

:rawk:

The original mod works fine in 7.2

Except as previously mentioned the language file is now in /languages/xxxx/portal_islands.php

I attempted this and I got

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/riddle6/public_html/hprpg/cache_builders/custom/portal_box_7.php on line 2

Is here anything like 'Top Poster of the Month' out there that could display the top poster of the month instead of a list. Or if I can get this working, can I edit it to do that?

Ensure you're pasting content between the EOF lines
