v1.0.10 LATEST 26/05/2026🧹 Footer credit dedup
Removed the older footer credit injection that was running alongside the new consolidated one. If you had several XenSupport add-ons installed, your footer was showing two "XenForo add-ons by ©XenSupport" lines. Now you'll see exactly one, regardless of how many XenSupport add-ons you have. -
v1.0.9 NEW 24/05/2026New
Exclude members by username: you can now keep a specific member off the spotlight by their username, no need to deal with user group IDs. Handy for excluding yourself, or any member whose group is otherwise eligible.
Excluded members are now also hidden from the Contenders list.
Fixes
A member you just excluded who was already the current spotlight is now replaced automatically on the next run, even with "Lock winner" enabled (before, they could stay featured for the rest of the period).
Clearer help text on the excluded groups field (reminder: group 1 is Guests, the Administrative group is 3). -
v1.0.8 NEW 21/05/2026New
Top 10 contenders page with live ranking and podium styling for the top 3
Broadcast alert to all active members when a new Spotlight is selected
New option to lock the winner for the whole period (off by default)
Improved
Spotlight stats now refresh on every cron run and always match the live leader
More prominent "See top 10 contenders" link
Fixed
Contenders page styling not loading after upgrade (CSS now rebuilds automatically) -
v1.0.7 NEW 20/05/2026Top 10 contenders page at /spotlight/contenders/ : live ranking of who's in the running to be the next Spotlight, refreshed hourly
Top 3 are highlighted with crown / silver / bronze styling
Your own row is highlighted with a "you" badge if you're in the top 10, plus a "you're ranked #N" banner
New Broadcast alert option : when a new Spotlight is selected, every active member can be notified with a one-click link to the page
Audience can be limited to members active in the last N days (default 30) to avoid spamming dormant accounts
Winner still gets the personal alert as before (no duplicates)
"See top 10 contenders" link added to the main Spotlight page -
v1.0.6 NEW 19/05/2026Fixes
Past spotlight cards rendering broken on some pages: fixed
"Run now" in the ACP creating duplicate entries instead of refreshing the current one: fixed (existing duplicates are cleaned up automatically on upgrade)
"Past spotlights" section disappearing when only one winner exists: fixed
Missing tooltips when hovering cards and avatars: added
Layout glitches on certain themes: hardened
Improvements
Cleaner admin "Current spotlight" view
More resilient styling that works across custom themes
Better truncation handling for long usernames
Drop-in upgrade. No manual action needed. -
v1.0.3 NEW 19/05/2026Fixed: Past Spotlights cards rendering with broken layout on certain themes
Drop-in upgrade, no manual action required
+ 2 older version(s)
-
v1.0.2 17/05/2026Fixes a "Template alert_user_xs_spotlight_selected is unknown" error that could appear in member alert popups when uninstalling a previous version. Uninstall now cleans up its own alerts, and the upgrade also clears any leftover broken alerts from older installs as a safety net. No schema changes, safe to upgrade.

A fantastic plugin that truly puts your users in the spotlight! You can configure how often the spotlight changes and even choose to exclude specific users or groups. My users were genuinely excited when they discovered it!
One feature I especially love is that the selected user can add their own comment to their spotlight entry, which makes it feel even more personal and engaging. This is the kind of plugin every community should have if they want to appreciate and highlight their members.
