I was wondering if there is any way to show a block of site users who have posted articles on the site in order by how many articles posted? I'm not talking forum posts or comments, I'm talking articles. And only the users who have posted articles would appear in the block.
Is this possible?

this works...
//displays top ten article posters by number of articles posted.
function phpblock_article_posters()
{
global $_TABLES, $_CONF;
//basic select
$query = "SELECT a.uid, COUNT(*) as count, b.username FROM {$_TABLES['stories']} a, {$_TABLES['users']} b";
//get username and don't retrieve anonymous users
$query .= " WHERE a.uid=b.uid AND a.uid>'1'";
//check access
$query .= COM_getPermSQL('and');
//list users only once
$query .= " GROUP BY a.uid";
//order by number of stories to that user--desc
$query .= " ORDER BY count DESC";
//limit to highest 10 posters
$query .= " LIMIT 10";
//run query
$result = DB_query($query);
if (DB_numRows($result) > 0){
//loop thru result
$retval = '';
while ($A = DB_fetchArray($result)){
//display a username and profile link for each result
$retval .= '<a href="' . $_CONF['site_url'] . '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=';
$retval .= $A['uid'] . '">' . $A['username'] . '</a> (' . $A['count'] . ')' . LB;
}
return $retval;
} else return;
}
put that into your lib-custom.php and create a new block (of type PHPBLOCK) from the block editor.
