A few custom blocks I have need some fixes
« on: January 13, 2017, 04:46:58 AM »
Hi guys, I'm no good a coder, but I tried and I've got a few custom blocks to work :)

They work the way I'd like them to work, however they have allot of excess code in them and I was wondering if someone could remove the excess code for me.

Number 1:
Code: [Select]
/* Display Frequent Posters for SMF 2.0x by Underdog @http://askusaquestion.net */
/* Format: Horizontal javascript pages */
/* v1.1 */

global $smcFunc, $scripturl, $boardurl;

/* Adjust these */
$number_users = 25;
$lang = ' Posts';
$show_posts = 'Show posts from this user';
$show_profile = '';
$none = 'No users selected';
$show_name = true;
$avatar_width = 50;
$avatar_height = 50;
$row_height = 50; /* <-- adjust depending on amount of text shown under avatar */
$user_name_max = 35; /* <-- max chars for user name display */
$per_row = 5;
$rows = 5;
$prev = 'Prev';
$next = 'Next';

/* Do not edit below this line */

$query = '(users.posts > 0 AND is_activated = 1)';
$datum = array( 'id_member', 'posts', 'real_name', 'avatar', 'filename', 'id_attach');
$x = 0;
$count = 0;
$users = array();
$limit = !empty($number_users) ? (int)$number_users : 20;
$cell_width = 100 / (int)$per_row;

$pages = '<script type="text/javascript"><!--
        var pager = new frequentPager("new", '.(int)$rows.');
        pager.init();
        pager.showPageNav("pager", "l8stPagePosition");
        pager.showPage(1);
    //--></script>';

/* Some js to control the pages */

This is the top posters block, you can find a live example at: www.gameguides.pro/f right side, near the bottom titled "TOP POSTERS"

Instead of going for the same old boring "list" style of top posters, nearly every forum has, I went for a more unique approach. I went and made it into a "wall" of profile pictures, 5 in each row, 5 collumns, total of 25 profile pictures will be displayed. Hovering over a display picture will highlight it, and clicking it will redirect to the  profile. The profiles are in order, from left to right.

The code has allot of excess, from what I can see.. :s

Again, live example at gameguides.pro/f right side.

The block hasn't been changed much, but again, it does have allot of exess code such as the scrollbar feature.



Like i said, I aint got much experience or whatever, but I'm sure excess code isn't a good thing? right? like does it slow it down by a few miliseconds? add some extra load? :P

If someone can let me know if it is okay for me to continue using the blocks in the current state it would be great, and if someone could remove the excess code it would be even better!

ps: i will be creating a few topics on my forum on all the coding i've used, from on the pages to the blocks themselves. So i will be referencing back to this website if it's okay as allot of the code is from this webiste :)
