Mod Name / Version: Recent Top Posters 1.0

Description: The current "Top Posters" addon (or Pal Box) only goes by total post count. Your large numbers will always be on top. This is an alternative which allows it to show the top (active) posters within the last X number of days.
Included in the ZIP is an addon file (recenttopposts.php) and a Pal box for IIP (custombox1pal.php). Use whichever you prefer.

Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.2-6.3

Mod Status: Beta

Any pre-requisites: IIP if you want to use the Pal Box

Author(s): JoshPet

Date: 06/14/03

Credits: Musky & JC for requesting it.

Files Altered: none

New Files: recenttopposters.php, custombox1pal.php

Database Altered: none

Info/Instructions: If you are using the Pal Box with IIP - upload to your pals directory. It works with page caching to save load time, so you can configure it as Custom Box 1 in the IIP setup. Upload the pal script to your pals folder, edit the variables at the top - and activate it/position it as Custom Box 1.

If using the addon script, upload and include in your page.

NOTE: For BOTH scripts - there are variables near the top of the files to edit. You can determine the number of top posters to show and how many days it will go back to check.
There is even an option to exclude certain forums (like a test forum). This is especially useful if users bogus post in test forums just for the sake of appearing on the top poster's list.

Also Note: This may be a high-load query on forums with a large number of posts. If it slows down your IIP page - I would recommend increasing the cache time so it doesn't update as refreently. Use at your own risk.

Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.
