Is it possible to have the top 5 or 10 poster of the forum code please.

Where ever it will be easier for you to have .

You don't need a code for that, just go to Members>top posters.

I believe he means displayed on any page.

Personally I have too much to do to take on another server-side code right now, but wait and see if Wrighty can get this for you.

I do believe that this will require a server side feature. An external database etc. So Unfortunately this can't be done!

(Also it's against our request rules, but don't worry! )

Sorry. If I get some time, I'll possibly create a code that does this for everyone.

No worries Marc thanks .

Wrighty, don't say I never give you anything

http://USERNAME.virtualforums.co.uk/javascript/top_posters.php?max=5

That'll return a javascript array of the top posters, their display name, their class and the number of posts they have. I'll let someone else deal with the formatting of it though

Now, how do you want this to look?

Ross, I you forever.

Woot!! Thanks Ross .

Which one of you is taking this on .

I will!


Let me know what you want it to look like etc...

I was thinking it could be an link like in between the infro center and the last category.

But then i also thought may be you can do what would be easy for you to code .

A nice table at the top of the forum with a link added to the links in the user bar saying: 'Top Posters' That will show and hide the table?

That's a much better idea Wrighty .

I try to please. I'll work on this either tonight, or tomorrow night!

Cool thank you bro .

Try this:

Global/Main Header
<table border='0' class='border' align='center' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='3' id='w_top_table' width='150px' style='display: none;'>
    <tr>
        <td class='title1' align='center'>Top Posters</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class='window1' id='top_holder'></td>
    </tr>
</table><br>

<script>
/*Top Posters Table.
Created By Wrighty
No Rip, Repost or anything!*/

var _u = 'wrighty';
var _t = '5';

var _l = '<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2">';
var _s = document.createElement('script');
_s.src = 'http://'+_u+'.virtualforums.co.uk/javascript/top_posters.php?max='+_t;
_s.type = 'text/javascript';
document.body.appendChild(_s);
function footer(){
    for(i=0;i<top_posters.length;i++){
        _l += '<tr><td width="75%" align="left"><a href="/action/view_profile/user/'+top_posters[i][0]+'/" class="'+top_posters[i][2]+'">'+top_posters[i][1]+'</a></td><td width="25%" align="right">'+top_posters[i][3]+'</td></tr>';
    }
    _l += '</table>';
    get('top_holder','id').innerHTML = _l
    var _a = document.createElement('a');
    _a.onclick = function(){
        get('w_top_table','id').style.display = (get('w_top_table','id').style.display=='none')? '' : 'none';
    };
    _a.href = 'javascript: void(0);';
    _a.appendChild(document.createTextNode('Top Posters'));
    get('pms','id').firstChild.insertBefore(document.createTextNode(' :: '),get('pms','id').firstChild.firstChild);
    get('pms','id').firstChild.insertBefore(_a,get('pms','id').firstChild.firstChild);
}
</script>

Global/Main Footer:
<script>
footer();
</script>

Edit the red parts. They're the important parts.

Where I have 'Wrighty' is where you want to put the USERNAME of your board. Such as: support. Also, where I have '5' is the number of top posters to display. Max is 10!

This is great Wrighty and it works fine, thank you for doing it .

No problem!
