Sidebar 'Most Liked Threads & User' Widget...

[Windmill Design]

Hello all,

I would like to integrate some 'widget' style lists to the sidebar on the forum home page.

I would like the lists to include;

• Most 'liked' threads (original posts only) from forum A within the past 24 hours with user avatar alongside each item.
• Most 'liked' threads (original posts only) from forum A within the past week with user avatar alongside each item.
• Most 'liked' threads (original posts only) from forum A overall time period with user avatar alongside each item.
• Most 'liked' user from forum A overall time period with user avatar alongside each item.

What would be the best way to go about creating these lists? Is there an add-on that I can utilise or would a custom PHP approach be the preferred option?

I do not need assistance with regards to styling etc once the lists are created within the 'widget'.

Thank you in advance for all of your help and I look forward to reading the responses soon.

edit: Sorry, misread your post entirely. I'm not sure this add-on will do what your after.
