You keep q2a alive. Nice work!

Thank you nice plugin. Since user information on event table is not deleted even if user is deleted, it is thought that deleted user is displayed. Should qa-users be JOIN(ed) at query?

---

I also noticed the same issue. Deleted users get displayed! also I had a case where a user changed her ID( name)  in her account and both of her old ID and the new ones got displayed as active users.

---

Forgot to mention that it will not display the active users' score next to them despite activating it ( giving value true to it at that php file).
Thank you though

Thanks for your feedback. Currently I do not have the time to update the plugin. Maybe somebody else can do it.

Answer 1

considering this feature you mentioned above (considers question/answer/comment posted as +1 activity point),

the most active user of the week is not necessarily the user of the week with most collected scores, right?

Comments

correct. userpoints is not the same as activity points.

"activity points" are calculated by the plugin by the number of certain events. "userpoints" are calculated by q2a, see admin settings.

Answer 2

Where to set the widget to show top users only for the week? I have uploaded the plugin but there is no such place.

Secondly, how to hide points next to users name. As those are not the points what a user actually have so there would be chances that user might get confused.

Answer 3

 

why not working ?
