What are the supported plugins for the leaderboard?

We exclusively offer support for MySQL databases at present. Furthermore, the functionality does not extend to relational tables. As an illustration, it does not accommodate scenarios where user and statistics data are stored in separate tables.

We recommend you to use the leaderboard module with AjLeaderBoards plugin.
