🏆 Community Leaderboard Plugin for Sngine

The Community Leaderboard Plugin for Sngine introduces a gamification system that highlights the most active members of your community and encourages user participation.

The plugin creates a public leaderboard where users can see who contributes the most to the platform. Rankings are calculated using real activity such as posts, comments, reactions, invitations, and other engagement actions.

By making activity visible and competitive, the leaderboard naturally motivates users to interact more with the platform and helps communities grow organically.

🚀 What This Plugin Adds

This plugin introduces an automatic activity tracking and ranking system for your Sngine community.

User activity is analyzed and converted into leaderboard rankings, allowing members to compete for the top positions on the platform.

The system supports several ranking categories, including:

• Top posters
• Top commenters
• Most reactions received
• Most active users overall
• Top inviters (users who invite new members)

All rankings update automatically using the Sngine cron system, so administrators do not need to perform manual updates.

📊 Public Leaderboard Page

The plugin creates a dedicated public leaderboard page where users can explore community activity rankings.

Example sections on the leaderboard may include:

• Top 15 posters
• Top 15 commenters
• Top users by reactions
• Top inviters
• Overall activity ranking

Each leaderboard entry can display important user information such as the profile picture, username, activity score, and ranking position.

The layout is designed to be simple, clear, and visually engaging, making it easy for users to understand the rankings at a glance.

⚙ Admin Control Panel

Administrators can manage the leaderboard system directly from the Sngine Admin Panel.

The plugin provides several configuration options that allow the leaderboard to be customized for each community.

Admin settings allow you to:

• enable or disable the leaderboard
• choose which ranking categories are visible
• configure how activity scores are calculated
• control how often the leaderboard refreshes

This flexibility allows the leaderboard to adapt to the specific needs of your platform.

💡 Why This Plugin Is Useful

Many online communities struggle with low user engagement.

Leaderboards are a proven method to increase participation by making activity visible and rewarding active members.

This plugin helps by:

• motivating users to post more content
• encouraging discussions and comments
• rewarding the most active community members
• making the platform feel more dynamic and competitive

Even smaller communities often see a noticeable increase in activity after introducing a leaderboard system.

🔗 Easy Integration with Sngine

The plugin was built specifically for Sngine and follows the platform’s architecture.

It integrates directly with:

• the existing Sngine admin panel
• the cron system for automatic ranking updates
• standard Sngine templates and UI components

Installation is straightforward and does not replace core files beyond the required integration points.
