Note
Credits to me for original design and to Zero Tolerance for helping me to ajax-ify it

Instructions
Import the attached XML and then Upload random.php to ./includes/cron and pickuser.php to forumroot. Add $randomusertable anywhere you want. I suggest under $navbar in FORUMHOME. Add a cron job with the Name: User of The Day which runs every:
Month: *
Hour: 0
Minute: 0
And then file: ./includes/cron/random.php

Hope you like, feedback welcomed.

Why would this need to be AJAX?

[Nick R]

it's for the redraw button

[Code Monkey]

The data only changes at midnight so what is the need of a redraw button? ;)

[Nick R]

just in case the user it draws is someone a) you hate or b) is banned or c) hasn't been on for the past year.

[Code Monkey]

You should be checking for that in the initial code that selects the user.

[Nick R]

but it's more fun if you do it like this :p

stop picking fights.

[Nick R]
