Creating a page listing user activity

[RickHeil]

I'm trying to create a page listing contributors, by pages edited... to subtly recognize activity. WHat I want is a table of users, with number of pages edited sorted from high to low. Ideally would like to restict to say a fixed number (top 50) or by edit limits (momre than 10 edits in a period).

I reviewd the 'Special' words but dont see one relevant.

Along those same lines, can this be updated to reflect the special functions available in Hayes?

Here is what I'm referencing, many don't seem to work.

The User Manual was written for Gooseberry. We still need to rewrite it for Hayes. Most of the information under http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki .

As for the contributor listing, you could already create something like it using the MySql extension, but it does require some in-depth understaning of Deki Wiki. I'll see if I can add such a function before Hayes+ ships. If I understood you correctly, you'd like something that looks like this:
* Bob (24 edits)
* Alex (20 edits)
* Christy (11 edits)
* ...

I don't understand what you mean by "edit limits". Could you give an example?

[RickHeil]

By edit limits I meant limiting the number of users reported by the number of edits (assuming a *really* active group of users... Just a thought, not really necessary.

There is new function for this. You can invoke it as follows:
{{ wiki.contributors() }}

It takes two optional parameters. The first is the path to a page if you only want to list the contributors for a given page (if omitted, contributors are calculated across the entire site). The second is a limit on how many contributors to list.

Example:
{{ wiki.contributors(_, 5) }}

Perfect... that works

is there a way to exclude a user from this list?

[SteveB]

No, there is currently no way to exclude a user. What would be the use case for that? And how to prevent it being abused by someone?

currently inactive users are also shown in the list - how can we exclude inavctive users?
