3...two of which are cached for five minutes (newest users and top posters).

GAH!! I'll fix that in the next release.

Hi, I have installed the Top Five Mod in my forum, and managed to change some settings to fit the table better. However, I couldn't make the Mod to show up the latest 5 POSTs in the correct order. It only shows the latest 5 TOPICs by the topic starter, but the subsequent posts and posters don't seem to change the order on the top 5 list.

Is there any way to change the codes so people can see the topics with the latest post and the user's name who made the post? Thanks.

What we have here is called a "feature".

Hi

I changed the code slightly from this

Code: Select all

       LEFT JOIN ' . USERS_TABLE . ' u ON p.poster_id = u.user_id

to this

Code: Select all

       LEFT JOIN ' . USERS_TABLE . ' u ON topic_last_poster_id = u.user_id

in order to show up the latest poster name after the topic. Have I done the right thing? Should it be t.topic_last_poster_id instead of topic_last_poster_id? Thanks

Edit: Nevermind I got it to show the last 5 topics,members etc.... But I am also having a problem with making the table fit correctly.

nice mod....very nice to see statistics on the home page


I am sorry this is not related to this mod but a generic question...but can something be done so that we need to make changes at one place only and all the styles show the changes...e.g. this mod is displayed perfectly in prosilver and subsilver2 only...but i luv avalon blue...there are many mods that do not display in avalon but in these two...

Yes.

Looks like you uploaded the html file found in the prosilver directory instead of the one found in the subsilver2 directory of the mod download (Aeroblue is a subsilver2 based style). After you have done that and it still doesn't look "quite right", look at how login_body.html is formatted and compare to the html file from the download and make adjustments to it.

Almost every single style is based off of either prosilver or subsilver2. If the template you are using is a prosilver based mod then upload the html file in the root/styles/prosilver/template directory of the mod download, if it is subsilver2 based then upload the html file in the root/styles/subsilver2/template directory of the mod download. You can tell which one your style is based off of by viewing the theme directory of the style. If there are a few (two or so) css files, then it is a subsilver2 based style, if more than that (like 6 or more) then it is a prosilver based style and you would upload/make changes based on the install instructions for that style.

This is the case with >any< mod that is installed as many templates do not utilize the template inherits feature of phpBB (prosilver_se is the only style that I have seen that does utilize the template inherits feature).

Hope that cleared it up a tad for you.
