Top Posters php block?

[snowcrash]

Hi

I used very basic block (php) for displaying the top 5 posters with the function
ssi_topPoster(5);

When displaying, it lists in a line, with the names like: xxx, yyy, zzz etc

Just wondered how you could instead display the names with their number of posts, for example:
xxx - 450 posts
yyy - 300 posts
zzz - etc

sorry but my scripting skills are almost zero 
Any help would be appreciated

I found a hack, which alters the code in ssi.php, to display names(post count) in a line, which will do.

It works with ssi_topPoster();
but just wondering if this is the best way of doing things for a TP block

thanks

Well, to get the posts number I would say its good enough - since SSI.php does not do this. So, yes, use that if it works alright. Tp currently doesn't have a function for it, therefore SSI.php must be used anyway.
