I just was thinking maybe a page with the top rated mod or the mods that are the most downloaded.

[JayBachatero]

Well Most Popular is based on downloads and rating.

[vbgamer45]

Ah, so thats how that works I always thought it was random then would explain it then.

[JayBachatero]

Yup

Code Select Expand


$request = my_db_query("
SELECT ms.ID_MOD, ms.modName, ms.modifiedTime, ms.short_desc, COUNT(lm.ID_MOD) AS recentDownloads, ms.submitTime,
(COUNT(lm.ID_MOD)/$popDays) + ms.rating AS score
FROM {$mod_prefix}mods AS ms
        LEFT JOIN {$mod_prefix}log_mods AS lm ON (lm.ID_MOD = ms.ID_MOD)
WHERE ms.approved = 1
AND ms.downloads > 0
GROUP BY ID_MOD
ORDER BY score DESC
LIMIT 5", __FILE__, __LINE__);

the only problem with most popular is that it always seems to be the same ones :/ that female avatar hasn't budged from first place, and neither has the ad mod for months..

[JayBachatero]

Umm I'll see what I can do then.  But how would you show these mods?  Maybe have a stats page for most downloaded, highest rating and so on like stats page?  Also mod developer with most mods.

If they are constantly being downloaded or have a high positive feedback doesn't that make them the most popular?

*shurgs* you are right.

I just find it boring.. i hardly look at the top5 anymore cause it doesn't change

[Amacythe]

Maybe we should have another listing for the last few mods downloaded?

[bloc]

I would say 5 latest and 5 top is the way to go. Although you might have to juggle the page a bit for both to go in. I suggest moving "Getting started" under below and put  5 top and 5 latest boxes on the right.

This could really be good for Themes site as well. If you implement it, i would love to see the same there.

[JayBachatero]

Umm about about latest 5 mods and put it right next to the featured mod and move the "Mod developers" down.

[JayBachatero]

What do you guys think of adding something like this.

Não seria interessante links com os mods separados por versões?

MODIFICAÇÕES PARA:
1.0.x | 1.1 RC1 | 1.1 RC2 | 1.1 RC3

*

Would not be interesting links with mods separate for versions?

MODIFICATIONS FOR:
1.0.x | 1.1 RC1 | 1.1 RC2 | 1.1 RC3

(english provided by google... kkkkk sorry!)

It's easy to do too.
SMF 1.1 RC3 | SMF 1.1 RC2 | SMF 1.0.8

That can work too. Might be better as then the importance of top 5 seems greater.

[bloc]

Version quick-links looks great.

[JayBachatero]

Um where would be the best place to add the Version quick-links?

[Thantos]

Well on the details page for sure

[JayBachatero]

Details page?  If they in the mod they can see the version there .  I was thinking somewhere in the list page (main page).

[JayBachatero]

Ok added the "Latest Mods" section.  I stored it to cache also.

Also I added a cache time setting.  I set that to a day 86400 secs.

Code Select Expand


// Get the latest 5 mods but only if the cache is older than 24 hours
if (isset($modSettings['latest_mods_cache']) && (time() - $modSettings['latest_mods_cache_time'] < $mod_site['cache_time']))
{
$context['latest_mods'] = @unserialize($modSettings['latest_mods_cache']);
}
else
{
$context['latest_mods'] = array();

// Select the info from the db
$latestModsSelect = db_query("
SELECT ID_MOD, modName, short_desc, downloads
FROM {$db_prefix}mods
WHERE approved = 1
ORDER BY ID_MOD DESC
LIMIT 5", __FILE__, __LINE__);

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($latestModsSelect))
{
$context['latest_mods'][$row['ID_MOD']] = array(
'id' => $row['ID_MOD'],
'name' => $row['modName'],
'short_name' => $func['strlen']($row['modName']) <= 20 ? $row['modName'] : $func['substr']($row['modName'], 0, 20) . '...',
'short_desc' => $row['short_desc'],
'href' => $context['script'] . '?mod=' . $row['ID_MOD'],
);
}
mysql_free_result($latestModsSelect);

// Store in the cache
updateSettings(
array(
'latest_mods_cache_time' => time(),
'latest_mods_cache' => addslashes(serialize($context['latest_mods'])),
)
);
}

Bloc I can update the theme site files and hand them over to Mike.

[jerm]

Looks good.
Lots of white space if you don't full screen lol, but its all good

[JayBachatero]

Can you show a screenshot?

Also I was thinking of maybe changing the PM on new Review and make it show you the actual review instead of a link to the review.  This is the current PM

RBH has left a review for Global Announcements mod.  Click here to see the review.

[bloc]

Looks great. If you could do the same for themes site, please do.

Sure, why not? Maybe show the review and link to it aswell. I would suggest even doing a preview of the review, except reviews aren't normally very long!

[jerm]

its always been like that though
im just ranting

[JayBachatero]

* Jay The Code Monkey shakes fist at Jerm.

It's cause the boxes have a set width.

[JayBachatero]

Ok I added the quick links but they need to be moved to another location.  Any ideas?

http://mods.simplemachines.org/area51/jaybachatero/index.php

[Thantos]

*cough* Compatible With: 1.0.7, 1.0.8, 1.1 RC3 *cough

[Dannii]

Why are there now two links to http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=20319.0?

[JayBachatero]

There added 1.0.7

Meh I really dont know eldacar.  That's been there for ages.

Still no response as to where to put it.

[Dannii]

Oh there it has always been there.. :S

Prehaps remove one of them?

[JayBachatero]

Which one?

[Thantos]

*sigh*, Jay I'm saying make the versions the same format on http://mods.simplemachines.org/area51/jaybachatero/index.php?mod=259

[JayBachatero]

Done.  Didnt notice the commas.

[JayBachatero]

Ok I am done with the stats page integration.

[Goosemoose]

Looks great jay.
Am I missing something, or is there no way to rate a mod in the area51 version?

[JayBachatero]

There should be a way to rate a mod.   I'm taking that out though.

[jerm]

can you add the author name back in the search pages?

[JayBachatero]

Aja.  That's what's missing.  I was like this looks weird.  Ill put it in a bit.
