Title: Top Posters -- Last Calendar Month?
Post by: jarrett.crews on October 02, 2011, 07:16:09 PM

I have a Top Posters block set up to show monthly stats, but it doesn't seem to be based off the calender month.
Is there a way to make it so it starts the post counting at the beginning of each month and ends at the each of the month?

Certainly, this could be done.
This would require customization.
You would want "From the beginning of this calendar month until now"?
Or would you want "In the previous calendar month"?

Thank you for the reply.

"In the previous calendar month" would be best.

That would require even more customization. You'd need a start date and a stop date for generating these statistics.
I'm going to move this to a custom coding board, to see what kind of interest it generates.

So, after not getting answers for that, how would I get it show "From the beginning of this calendar month until now"?


It is only November 4th and it shower the top poster as having almost 50 post this month. I know this is not true, as it should be in single digits or maybe 10's.
Here is a link to a page with the block as an example
