Create a new Block called TopAuthors or what name you prefer.

Set up as UNIVERSAL

In the HTML part put the code below

andlt;h4andgt;Most Active Authorsandlt;/h4andgt;
andlt;ulandgt;
{section name=$this-andgt;iandnbsp; loop=$this-andgt;authors}
andlt;liandgt;{$this-andgt;i|inc} - andlt;a href=andquot;{$this-andgt;authors[$this-andgt;i]['profile_url']}andquot;andgt; {$this-andgt;authors[$this-andgt;i]['user_name']}andlt;/aandgt; -
Articles Published: {$this-andgt;authors[$this-andgt;i]['user_articlecount']} andlt;/liandgt;
{/section}
andlt;/ulandgt;

andnbsp;

Then in the PHP part add the code below

$q = $this-andgt;db-andgt;query(andquot;SELECT * FROM {$this-andgt;pre}users WHERE user_idandgt;1 ORDER BY user_articlecount DESC LIMIT 6andquot;);
$this-andgt;authors = array();
while ($row = $this-andgt;db-andgt;nqfetch($q)){
andnbsp; $this-andgt;authors[] = $row;
andnbsp; $name = $row['user_name'];
andnbsp; if (strlen($name) andgt; 15){
andnbsp;andnbsp;andnbsp; $this-andgt;authors[sizeof($this-andgt;authors)-1]['user_name'] = substr($name,0,13).'..';
andnbsp; }
andnbsp; $this-andgt;_getUser($row,$this-andgt;blou);
andnbsp; $this-andgt;authors[sizeof($this-andgt;authors)-1]['profile_url'] = $this-andgt;blou-andgt;url_profile;
}

I have also another version that i'm customizing to show up also the avatar, but it's still in development.

Come back here in the next few days to see the new version .
