Im please to confirm this works with 7.6.1.1 (patched).
I'ts been a while as you can see from the date I added this one with my limited knowledge.
Ive added a few Language File Tweaks I have made, this may confuse or simplify for you ?
For me it simplified as I could follow.
Most Read (Views 24hrs).
Language Files
Search - change - KEY
Search "Popular Topics" change to "Most Read" (POPULAR_TOPICS)
Search "Popular Topics" Change to "Views 24hrs" (POPULAR_TOPIC VIEWS)
Search "Popular Topics" change to "Popular Topics (24hrs)" (popular_topics)
Search "Popular Topics" change to "Exclude Popular Topics (24hrs) In These Forums" (POPULAR)
Search "Popular Topics" change to "Popular Topics (24hrs)" (popular_topics)
---
Most Read (Views 7days)
language File Search "Popular Topics" (portal_islands.php)
create a new KEY (POPULAR_TOPICS_WEEK) and new STRING "Popular Topics"
create POPULAR_TOPICS_VIEWS_WEEK and a new STRING "Views 7days"
I hope one day that this could find its way into a stock release
The beauty with this is that you can select and de-select the forums to be show,
The one thing i could not work out ?
Moving a listed topic in the 24hr island. It would show up twice with a count starting from zero.
So i would make sure the link would be deleted in 24hrs..
Not sure how to get around that one .....
If you move without leaving a pointer its just fine.
Enjoy
