Leaderboard general feedback

[beeurd]

I couldn't see a generic thread for feedback on the Leaderboard function, so I apologise if I have missed it.

My site isn't very busy right now so quite often the daily leaderboard has nothing to show.

It would be nice if there were some extra options, for example to either show the past leaders page if there is no leader for the day, or to change the period (for example) to a weekly leaderboard?

I wish this feature was around a few years ago, but I don't think time travel is on the IPS development plan at the moment.

I'm going to add two things...

1. Cache it for either 24 hours or something similar because its slow the first time it loads.
2. Have an option in the leaderboard and the rest of the site to not use the fa-heart icon for likes and maybe an option to replace it with lets say fa-thumbs-up.

Is someone able to make a plugin to show whose number 1?

1) Add it as a block and show it off around the site? Most won't even click on leaderboard link.
2) Add to topic author to show next to topics (next to name or a badge underneath, with link back)

I don't think this has been incorporated into the software well at all.

Add this to your Custom.css (I use this on my own site)
 

/**
 * Thumbs Up Like rep
 */
.fa-heart:before {
    content: "\f164";
}
.fa-arrow-up:before {
    content: "\f164";
}
.fa-arrow-down:before {
    content: "\f165";
}

This will replace the heart as 'Thumbs Up' across the board.

Thank you very much!
