did you install a general italian translation or only the one from this module? the one from this module is ONLY for this module, not a general translation.

I downloaded French UTF-8 from the language forum,
Uploaded it to /include/lang/

Checked the Admin/Default Settings---Display Settings--Fixed Display-Settings (user can't override them) select ---> No
Select Submit at the bottom of the page.
Checked the Admin/Default Settings---Display Settings--Language \ drop down to see if I can see the French = Yes

If you did not inherit Forum settings from the Default Settings page, you will need to visit the forums individually and edit each one, and Submit.

User may change language in their Control Center/Forum Options.
I tested French UTF-8 on my Forum. it works

I have downloaded the Italian translation provided by Nicola and uploaded it into the language folder.

However, I could not find any information on how to change the board language.

I made the following attempt (admin area):
- Default settings;
- In the Display Settings section, there is the item Language. If I try and change the current option (English American), I see two options: one is English American, the other one is empty.
- If I try and select the second one (the empty one), the board language does not change. It is still English.

Is there something wrong with the Italian file? Did I follow the correct procedure for changing the board language?

Regards,
thistle

Hello,
I've been away for a while, glad someone did this up the allusers I had reworked didn't work with phorum 5.1. Its been so long since I used phorum I don't quite remember how to add a customer column to the top users.

Might not have been very clear. I'd like to add Real Name and home page for my new forum. I already got the enhanced custom profile, and remember how to add the fields to the profile and registration area, but don't remember what I have to modify in the topuser code to get the Fields I want to display.

Any help would be appreciated.

I will update the module(s) to also change the HTML title.

Great, updated the Top Users and Recent Messages modules on my forum.

Thanks.

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 03:21:42 -0600

I uploaded version 2.0.3, in which I added code to set the HTML title for the Top User page.

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 02:31:55 -0600

Yes they can, no problem with that. I apparently didn't think of it for the Recent Messages module and the Top Users module inherited that missing feature. I will update the module(s) to also change the HTML title.

Hi,

I just installed this, very nice module, thanks.

Quick question, I notice that the page title doesn't say Top Users, it just keep the title from the page you clicked the link from. So if the title was site name, forum name, that's what the title says.

I hadn't noticed page titles before but even the Recent Messages mod does the same. Can mods change the page title to reflect where you're at?

That would more likely be an extension or adaption of the Recent Threads module than the Top Users module, since that one has all the functionality on board for displaying messages in a list.

BTW: Do you really want a list of top threads? They are often the most sucky ones in my experience. I have "hot threads" on my own website, which is more useful in most cases. Especially for new users to see what is the current chat status of the forum. Feel free to discuss further on this in the recent messages module thread.

Ok i got one for ya...could this be adapted for a 'top threads' module?

Damn, this means I got nothing left to complain about ...
Well done Steve! :-)

I've uploaded a new version, incorporating all suggestions and contributions to-date.

Enjoy!

Thanks. Looks like you forgot to attach them though.

Heh, too-busy-with-regular-work-error.
I attached the pack to my previous message.

Cool! A lot of admins will find this a useful module.

Included you find some language files. Two Dutch ones and a fixed english.php. An updated English one, because the "short_time" variable is not defined by Phorum. In the recent messages module, it is defined in the language files too. You have that module enabled as well, causing the variable to be available to your module. The updated english.php has the "short_time" variable in it.

Thanks. Looks like you forgot to attach them though.

Some additional remarks:

- PercentOfPosts is in the language file, but it is not used in the code.

Ah yes. I left out that column. I felt that it was unnecessary and would require additional processing. It could be added back in if there was demand for it. Maybe if I was really ambitious I could even add an options page with selectable columns to display. *grin*

- You retrieve a full list of users and do processing on that one. While this works for forums without a lot of users, this will hurt big forums. We have seen this with the user admin as well, which sometimes would hit the PHP memory limits on some systems (this has been fixed). For more performance and scalability, I'd like to advice you to look into the $sort, $offset and $length parameters of the phorum_api_user_search() API function. I think that by using those, you can retrieve only the users that you will display on the page.

- Once you use the $offset functionality, you could also enable page browsing like I did in the recent messages module. The method I use there is to retrieve (number of items to show + 1) items from the database. If I have retrieved that number of items, then it means that there is at least one more page to show and I present an "Older messages" link at the bottom of the page.

Thanks for the feedback and advice. I will look into it next week.

Removed the language pack, since it's now in the module package.

Module: Top Users

Steve H — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:50:32 -0600

This module implements an addon page, which displays a list of user statistics which can be ordered in various ways.

Created by Thomas Seifert, Amilcar do Carmo Lucas (update), and Steve Healy (rewrite)

Language files needed: If you want to help out here, then please create your language file of choice with the strings from english.php and upload the new file in this thread.

(This is my first stab at a module, re-writing the old add-on and borrowing heavily from Maurice's work! I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.)

Changelog:
----------

2008-02-05 v2.0.3
