i thought i would give it a try in asking jpdeni - she seems to have codes for everything

so we might just get one yet!

[JPDeni]

  Well, I think you've got me stumped on that one, aku!! 

[akulion]

hey u know when u view the stats page how they have those cool bar graphs alongside?

how would I include that in this?

thanks

[JPDeni]

Oh, Aku. You always come up with something new.

I haven't tried this myself, but this seems like it would work.

First, add $settings to your global statement at the beginning of the code.

Then change

Code Select Expand


foreach ($count as $key => $value)
{
  echo '<a class="normaltext" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $poster_number[$key] . '">' . $key . '</a> (' . $value . ')<br />';
  ++$list_number;
  if ($list_number > 9) 
    break;
}


to

Code Select Expand


$biggest = 0;
foreach ($count as $key => $value)
{
  if ($biggest == 0)
    $biggest = $value;
  $bar_length = intval(($value/$biggest) * 100);
  echo '<a class="normaltext" href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $poster_number[$key] . '">' . $key . '</a> (' . $value . ')
<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/bar.gif" width="' . $bar_length . '" height="15" alt="" /><br />';

  ++$list_number;
  if ($list_number > 9) 
    break;
}

The potential problem I see is that it might be too long, especially if you have this on a side block. The bar for the top poster will be 100 pixels long. If it turns out to be too long, change the 100 to something smaller.

Of course, it may not work at all.

got an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/.cash/akulion/goofy-goobers.com/forum/Sources/Load.php(1715) : eval()'d code(35) : eval()'d code on line 34

[JPDeni]

Sorry. There was an extra apostrophe in the code. I'll go change it.

[akulion]

aaahhh now it works very nicely!!

I like the cool mouse over effects with the popup java box and the flashing symbols :up:

thanks
