Writing a post on another thread, thinking of having a data on active profile.
An extension/script which can show the number of active users within the last 24 hours along with the rank.
For ex:
Total Active Users within last 24 hours- 2500
Legendary- XXX
Hero- XXX
Sr- XXX
Full- XXX
Member- XXX
Jr- XXX
Newbie- XXX
This would be somewhat hard to do without keeping a massive collection of information.
AFAIK, the only services which would be able to do this on the backend side are BitcoinTalk itself, and then maybe BPIP.org (considered they have a last active status with their members I believe)
Would have to wait for BPIP to have some sort of API.
Yea I actually looked at BPIP, thinking they would have something like this but apparently not. They need to add sort options or an API like you said. Trying to scrape all that data on your own would take forever.
This only needs data from the past 24 hours,
which I have already. Update: It requires more scraping,
recent doesn't show Ranks.
Although I'm not sure what this can be used for, it sounds like a nice Sunday afternoon project (it's too hot to go out today).
I'll see what I can come up with. Update: see
Active users and top posters in the past 24h.
I have 3 (useless?) ideas :
1. Shows user's total earned merit (all-time) on thread page
If someone wants to make this, I have some input data:
http://loyce.club/Merit/userID_merit.txt (updated weekly, usually on Friday/Saturday).
2. Shows user's total earned merit in last 120 days on thread page
This data can be extracted from
http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txt (also updated weekly).
