[release] Most Popular Threads from Last X Hours

JonnyQuest hacked the Active Threads hack (thank you to those fine contributors to our community) to make this one. He also made a Most Popular Threads ever ... pretty basic mod.

See it included here:

dns-error right now ... where could i find this to download?

Likewise, I'm not able to load your page, but this is an AWESOME hack! I've been working on something similar, but I haven't had the time to iron it out recently.

we're back up.

huss, congrats that you're online again - but where's this fine hack to download ?

;)

Hi Huss,

i'm just looking over your site and saw the small message "PM users click here to check messages."

Is this a hack for vB?

Just curious, how do you folks time stamp the most popular posts? I need this feature to highlight the most popular posts of the week.

With UBB i had the server parsing html files for SSI and then executing a custom counter.

Can we take a look at the code please? :)

WHoops my bad, forgot I never put it up!!

but both bring errors

hmmm... anyone got a solution for my above problem ?

Is the name of your template file: "Most-Read-Message.tpl"?
If so, is it in the same directory as this php file?

i think the problem is the date format changed in vb. you need to change that in the script.

nope , the original tpl file is File-Message.tpl for the original one... which doesn't work properly at

Hi!

I installed this hack, but It doesn't seem to work. I only get a white page, when I run hotdaily.php3 or hotever.php3.

Can anyone help me?

I believe (don't remember the exact configuration) that this script exports a flat text file for you to include with SSI. Look in the script and there should be a variable for the file name.

yes there is a txt file in there... referenced... so should i just create a txt file named like it says in the script in my vb forum directory ?

I meet the same problem like eva2000,

Warning: Bad arguments to implode() in class.FastTemplate.php on line 157
ERROR: get_template() failure: [./Most-Read-Page.tpl]

I used version 1.1.3

and Huss , what do you mean " date format changed in vb." and how to change that.

Anyone know ?

yeah i still got errors when i add the txt file in references to

Has anyone gotten this to work yet?

nope... haven't got this to work at all ? nor does the normal ActiveTopic hack work :(

The hack works fine but only hot topics ever.
I think there is a problem with the query in mosttoday.php but I don't know how to correct it.

I'm having the same problem.
any solution?

I get a blank white page...anyone know why.

Eva2000 I see you got it to work...can you share how your homepage has those posts and such..

nice site.

nice site. the one on my page isn't the same hack... mine just shows the last 12 active topics ( as last posted in)... this hack which i still can't get to work shows the most popular threads (number of posts/replies) in the last xx hours..

i have given up on this for now...

Where can I find the hack you have for the last 12 topics? and the other tidbits you have

I downloaded the Active Topics hack and that gave me a blank page as well
