It Sucks! Let your users know what sucks and what doesn't!

It Sucks!
Ported to VBulletin by Blaine0002
The point of itsucks is to have no point. This is a fun little website which allows you to see what sucks more, AOL or Tiscali? America or England? Frogs or Cats? You can find all this out by inputting a word in each box above! This is a joke site and should not be seen as a way to see if Frogs are better than Jesus. Jokes are fun for the most part, but don't be silly with this site!
What it does is asks for user inputs, then uses the yahoo api to search for pages that say if the things suck, then returns data in a nice little pie graph.

("think women suck")

no S :)

Not to be a downer ... but what's the benefit of using this over the poll system?

[Blaine0002]

Because this grabs info from many websites, not just from your users :)

[Shazz]

When You Enter On Thing And If Someone Thinks They Can Enter A Second Thing Because The Option To Enter Something Again Is Still There It Compleatly Messes Stuff Up
Unexplainable

Idk Needs More Work But Nice Idea

Wierd!

[MiahBeSmokin420]

Wierd!

BTW Why Do You Talk Like This With All Your Words In Caps?

Lmao...!
Lol Idk Why I Do Type Like This Is Been A Habit Since As Long As I Can Remember

[Blaine0002]

Yeah thats probably why, link to itsucks.php in your navbar not itsuckschart.php

itsuckschart.php is the pie graph, and should not be accessed directly.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

Thanks Ya I Kinda Figures That That Chart Page Was Not Needed Well Ya You Know What I Mean But Ya Cool Thanks And Ima Edit First Post So People Arent Like Well This Dont Work YaDaYaDa BullStuff
Thanks Again Peace

[Blaine0002]

Thanks for the feedback.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

You Know What I Did A Few Edits Basically Changing Where It Is

Because Like I Said I Dont Have A Normal Nav Bar

Well I Found A Good Spot To Put This For Some People I Guess

So I Figures I Would Share It With Yall

Template Edits:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forum Home Template

Search For:
$navbar

Directly Below This Add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<span class="smallfont">What Sucks And What Don't!</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="left">
<td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont">
What Suck's More....???
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="itsucks.php?do=fight" style="margin:0px; ">
<div align="center">
<input name="number1" type="text" id="number1" value="" size="25" />
VS
<input name="number2" type="text" id="number2" value="" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="View Results" />
</div>
</form>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
</if>


Close And Save

Thats It Your Done!

You Can Then Remove The Link From The Nav Bar Through The ACP If You Would Like


For Some It May Look Better Then Having Another Link Laying Around On The Site

And For Some It May Server For Better Usage Right There

So The Choice Is Up To You

Thats Just What I Did After Installing This Hack


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Also Just Finnished Making The WOL Data For This Hack

Downloand The What_Sucks_WOL-Data.xml

Then Upload As A Plug-In

And TaDa Who Is Online Is Fixed

[basketmen]

is this hack like www.googlefight.com ????

[Blaine0002]

pretty much the same schpiel.

[yoyoyoyo]

Funny idea - it would be nice if it would display the last X number of "fights" entered somewhere, or if you could enter your own "fights" without having to edit the template ;)

[TheBlackPoet]

i was hoping it was more internal... the members could vote and there be a pie chart.. this is a novel idea... i'll keep it...

[Blaine0002]

hehe

11 installs already! Its POPULAR!

[towermatt]

I'll see whats up with it. Vbay is great.

Thanks Blaine

Cute, I like it.

[Blaine0002]

[Alien]

VERY nice.. Would you consider doing a Google version in the future as well?

[Blaine0002]

VERY nice.. Would you consider doing a Google version in the future as well?

Looked into it and apparently you need to sign up to access the google api.

[basketmen]

Looked into it and apparently you need to sign up to access the google api.
yes i agree, i think people better like google then yahoo

its no big deal if we just need to sign up to get google API, people just love and trust it

[Dingo14]

members on site really like it, i think someone said before is there some way to show other members what you asked and the results thanks

[dxflw]

every things look great but if i put the words and i click fight i get this message: Request failed
I'm running vb 3.7.1 Pacht level 2

[Alien]

This really has so much potential, I hope to see it updated and enhanced...

[Max Taxable]

Probably should be graveyarded, will never work today.

[Blaine0002]

Feel free. public yahoo search api has been removed since 2010
