Okay I am REALLY new to this and trying to learn. I would like to create a block that would link to
Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

but only have it show the top ten names, and when clicked on take you to the page itself.

I am a total noob and any help would be greatly appreciated! Very Happy

What program are you using to generate the stats? Does it keep them in a database? In general, just to sketch this out, you'd have to write a PHP file block that reads the stats database and finds the top 10 names and then displays them.

You can examine some of the blocks you already have to see how they do things. Also google the PHP-Nuke How-To which has some block making instructions.

Not sure if this will work, but it's work for me on other web content.

There's a website called http://www.dapper.net which allows you to scrape content from web pages on the internet and turn it into an RSS feed.

It's really quick and easy, and if you are not particularly comfortable with messing around with PHP and mySQL it's a good solution, or if the content is from another site which you don't have access to the database.

I've created a feed of your content to show you what it looks like, it took me less than 2 minutes an this is what you get: http://www.dapper.net/services/KillDeath_Ratio

You can then paste the feed into a block in RN.

This post here explains how to limit the number of articles in the feed: http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/posts15369-highlight-.html

If this does the job I would recommend setting up your own account and then you have total control over the content in the feed.
