Creating a Top 20 leaderboard for a specific date range

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The discussion revolves around creating a top 20 leaderboard for a specific date range within a gamification context. Giovanni_Lignarolo raises concerns about leaderboards seemingly calculating all-time cheers instead of the specified date range. JammyDodger confirms the feature works correctly for date-limited leaderboards, demonstrating a setup for June, though the time period picker can be misleading. JammyDodger also notes that while the main leaderboard cannot be limited to a specific number of entries, a mini-leaderboard can be created using the right sidebar blocks feature, which allows limiting entries (e.g., to 20). Kartoon supports this, confirming the functionality works as intended and clarifies that the main leaderboard includes all users unless a group is excluded, but does not inherently limit the number of displayed entries.

When I create a leaderboard for a specific group and date range, it seems to be calculating all time cheers, am I missing something? Also, is there a way to only show top 20 of a specific range?(quarter)

I’ve just given this a run-through here on meta and it seems to be working correctly for me?

I created a new leaderboard called ‘month’ and set the date range to be 1st June - 30th June (and limited it to @team), and it’s only picking up the cheers accumulated for that timeframe:

Though the time period picker at the top doesn’t fit so well with a date-limited leaderboard as it still tries to tell you it’s selecting a bigger date range:

I don’t think this is possible using the leaderboard page, but you can create a mini-leaderboard in Right Sidebar Blocks that can be limited to x amount of entries. The preview on theme creator is for 5, but that’s adjustable in the settings - https://discourse.theme-creator.io/theme/Discourse/right-sidebar-blocks

It works as it’s supposed to on my site, and no you can’t limit the main leaderboards length it’ll include everyone (unless you choose to exclude a group but that won’t lock it to X number unless there’s only X number of accounts on the leaderboard)
