Most Popular Topic Today

[khamseen]

Hey sorry for the bump, but I just had to uninstall this mod because whilst installed, only the main admin account could see topics in any boards that weren't visible to their primary membergroup, but for some reason I got a PM from a rather distressed member of my community who was able to see a topic which was in an admin board... I can't explain why though as his permissions are identical to all other standard members.

Can you help me out with this one please?

[Phat^Trance]

is it possible to add more topics than just one?

[bpratt]

nice mod indeed, looking forward this mod can be relate most popular topic by day, weeks, months and so on..

Thanks in advanced

Is there a mod out there that does this? Because that's exactly what I'm looking for...

Like you, this mod is a great mod and something that a lot of users like to check out, but the only thing that really lets it down big time, is the fact that it does not take in to account users permissions.

Like many that I've read in here, I have a admin/moderator discussion board, and lately one of the topics in there has become more popular than any other topic on the forums, and non-admin users are reading the "Sorry, it's a locked board, you can't read this topic".

The impression of secret forum discussions is not something that we want people to think we're doing.


Sooo.... if anyone is interested in upgrading/doing their own version of this mod, I dare say they'd be a lot of people very happy with you.

I'm trying to make the move to 2.0RC2, and sadly it doesn't want to install.

Is there likely to be an update to this mod?

[IlliniCrusader]

I am using 2.0 RC1.2.  Is it possible to update it to the newer versions?

Thanks,
IC

I have taken over this mod and its now updated for 2.0 rc3

[Cal O'Shaw]

Hello,

Thank you for picking up this MOD.  Looks like it could be really nice.

I looked a bit in the topic and others have made the same requests that came to my mind when I installed this.  So I took the liberty of compiling them into this one post.

Would you be willing to look at adjusting it to allow the listing of the "X" most popular topics?  It looks like the code is already doing most of the work, so it might just be having it list the first "X" topics it has ordered.  "X" could either be a setting in the AdminCP or just a fixed number, such as 5.

The number of posts is in quotes, which looks a bit odd.  Could the quotes be removed?

Here's a set of the text strings, adjusted to more natural US English:

Code (Proposed changes to text strings) Select Expand


$txt['most_popular_topic_today'] = 'The Most Popular Topic in the last 24 hours';
$txt['most_pop_top'] = 'Number of posts per day:';
$txt['most_pop_top_abs'] = 'Sorry, no one has replied today';
$txt['cant_read_mpt'] = 'Sorry, unable to calculate at this time';
The "can't read" string changed to hide the reason why some users may be unable to see.  Which does echo the concern mentioned before, that permissions are not factored in when the query is made and the list of popular topics is ordered.

We're using SMF 1.1.11, but hope any enhancements you make will be applied to that branch of the MOD as well.

Grazie,

Cal

I do plan on working on fixing the text strings and updating the mod more at some point

But thank you for your translated strings (from russian english to english lol)

Hey sorry for the bump, but I just had to uninstall this mod because whilst installed, only the main admin account could see topics in any boards that weren't visible to their primary membergroup, but for some reason I got a PM from a rather distressed member of my community who was able to see a topic which was in an admin board... I can't explain why though as his permissions are identical to all other standard members.

Uninstall this mod for the same reasons...
