Best posts of the week, month, year...

[BuildBridges]

Upgrading to 2.3 caused me to lose one of my forum's best loved functions, and my users are going nutz having it gone...

The ability for users to view a list of the best posts over X period of time.

We created a separate page for this where all the best posts had their own little repository.

Please don't confuse this with "featured threads" or "best threads" -- this function exposed singular posts, many buried deep in threads that are 1000s of posts long.

The add-on developer who made this possible has left XF and has not updated it, so it did not transfer to XF2.3

Is there any add-on like this that can get this feature back live on my forum?

@JohnLogar -- I definitely didn't see that add-on, thanks for the hot lead!

This is a decent temporary fix and I will use it, thank you. However I need to customize the time frames and have it widgetized.

You can send a DM to discuss it further. I will change it accordingly.

I tried this out and isn't working to expose the best posts of the current week. Many posts (that should be top ranked for the week) aren't showing.

For example, we have a post that has 25+ reactions that was made 3 days ago, but it does not show up in this list, but others with less reactions, do. Apparently it is retroactive and doesn't display the current week, which is what our members want, not stuff from the last week.

Appreciate the opportunity.

Could you please share your board URL so I can take a look? In the demo data, I don’t have any posts with sufficient reaction scores to investigate the issue or test the plugin.
