Toplist

[ShannonRawls]

Toplist still not working for me.

After a user adds a site (without an image), the confirmation page still has the broken image in the middle.
I did update the "image.png" file with my server path to my forum ('/home/myuser/public_html'), but it still does not work. My forum is in the root directory.
Still...the image is broken

Also...if a user tries to add a site and upload an image with it, theres an error saying it is not a correct file, even though it is.

Will there be an update to this wonderful hack soon?

[derekivey]

Can you paste me the contents of your image.png file please? If you don't want to post it here, please send it to me in a PM.

Also what file type is it saying the file is when they try uploading it?

Thanks,
Derek

[ShannonRawls]

its a regular ole jpg that wont upload. I have sent you the image.png file in PM

thank you kindly for your supoort and diligence.

Replied to your PM. Can you please tell me what it says the file type is on the error message? It should say something like
The format of the file you uploaded is

Please paste me what it says.

Thanks,

I seem to have a problem, I'm not sure if i'm uploading wrong but when I click the Add Site it takes me here http://www.Example.com//add_site.php It should look like this
http://www.Example.com/forum/add_site.php Is there a way to fix this? Can anyone help?

[derekivey]

Make sure you set your forums url right (vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details).

the edit feature in admincp doesn't seem to work. i change cats but it doesn't record the change.

[derekivey]

I will take a look at this. Thank You for reporting it.

Derek

[derekivey]

Yup, that is indeed a bug. It looks like that feature got broken. I will release a fix shortly.

Thanks again for reporting it.

Derek

[derekivey]

Ok heres the fix:

Open admincp/toplist_admin.php.

Find:

'cid' => TYPE_UINT,

Replace with:

'category' => TYPE_UINT,


That should fix it, let me know if you still have this problem.

Thanks,
Derek

I'm getting this on install:

[derekivey]

Did you modify the product file at all? It should install fine.

Derek

[mat64]

No I have even downloaded the files again and replaced and it still dosnt work.

Invalid SQL: ALTER TABLE `toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'status'

[derekivey]

Ok, I'll take a look at it and see if I can find out whats wrong.

Derek

[ConKien]

I think when a user modify, it should also show the code to paste on their site for incoming hits. Or have it available somewhere as [Get Code] or something. Right now, there's no link to get the code if you not get it right after submission?

Beside that, it's a wonderful script. Work flawless on the first install!

Thanks Derekivey!

[loonytune15]

ok I am having probs with the buttons again.

A member has added in his site and the button shows up in the admin cp and the toplist, but not on the forumhome scrolling list of sites, it only shows up as a red x.

any ideas?

It should show it also when they edit their site. I like you idea of adding a link they can click to also get the code. I'll see about adding this to the next version.

Hello,

is it possible to type more than 255 signs, if yes, where can I set it up, if not, can you include this feature in your next update?

thanks

[derekivey]

255 Characters of what? If you want to accept more, you will need to edit the appropriate database field and change it's type from VARCHAR to something else such as text or something.

Derek

[Delazar]

I’m talking about the text “Site Name & Description”, where only 255 characters are allowed.
Can I change this in the ACP? If not, could you add this feature?
If you can not add it, where can I change it in the database?

[derekivey]

If you have PHPMyAdmin, you can do it there.

Select your database, then find the table 'toplist_sites', then find the fields 'name' and 'description', you would need to change their type to text or something and leave the length field blank.

[biagrin]

how do i add more file extensions for it to accept such as .bmp etc

[Frank Butcher]

Stupid question but when it says upload the UPLOAD folder in the install instructions does that mean upload it in its entirety in one block and call the folder Upload or upload individual files to the already existing VBB directories ??

[Frank Butcher]

Whats happened here ? anyone ?

[Frank Butcher]

Ok ignore that part lol I have it sorted now but MAJOR stress time now

Every time I try and add a site it just comes up with



http://grandprixforum.com/forums/add_site.php
"This page cannot be displayed"

Anyone who has this program PLEASE tell me what I messed up

[Delazar]

If you have PHPMyAdmin, you can do it there.

Select your database, then find the table 'toplist_sites', then find the fields 'name' and 'description', you would need to change their type to text or something and leave the length field blank.


Thanks derekivey

[Frank Butcher]

Uninstall time I guess :( it was a great idea but simply didn't work for me

Even if I manually try and add a site through another link it will not take me to the site

I guess my VBB is corrupted :(

[Frank Butcher]

I really want to get this program working, someone out there somewhere must know what is causing the errors and what I can do about them, I have had 11 attempts now at doing this, one of you people must know, please save me from despair and tell me why it is not installing properly and what is causing those database errors

[KevinL]

Umm like a box at the bottom of the page in which the admin can add through the admincp any images that the other sites can use for us.

eg this thread has all my buttons in it.
http://www.monster-designs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1048

So i'd like it to be shown in the toplist area...

On another note has the same error about the rankings been fixed in the toplist random site on the vbacmps been fixed?
Has this been added yet?

Ive read through the thread and didnt see any more about it.

Thanks

[Frank Butcher]

Anyone ?

Am still majorly struggling

[derekivey]

Hello Frank,

That error just means that it was trying to add a field to the database, and it already existed, you can ignore that error. If you want me to install this hack for you, PM me admin and ftp info to your site and I will be more than happy to install it for you.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I was still sleeping.

having a few issues on getting the dynamic image to show up its showing up as this link for the image /images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png?id=1 shouldnt it be /images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png this way it shows the image? and if so where is this so i can fix it?

[derekivey]

No that is correct, it adds the id of the site to the url because it shows stats for that site such as their in and out hits, as well as their rank and rating.

Derek

[DementedMindz]

hmmm i can get the image to show at all how do i do that i have installed it all as it was told but it dont show any thoughts?

Not sure why that is happening. Looks like the vbspace hack did something to your table or something.

Not sure how that works, so not currently. Maybe in the future I can implement something to work with it. I don't have money to buy a license of it so I can't try it out and make something. Sorry.

Upgraded from 1.02 to 1.06. uploaded files and imported product (overwrite on).
Get a lot of database errors had to do with buttons, was to quick for saving the errors exactly.
Now if I want to access the toplist I get the same error as on this post#524 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=903565&postcount=524) and in the acp the buttons are red crossed.
I think need some help with it, thanks.

[derekivey]

For the error you say you get in Port 524, you have to go to the usergroup manager in vB's AdminCP and set the different toplist permissions for each of your groups. PM me admin info to your board, and I'll take a look at the 2nd problem you have.

Derek

[Ramsesx]

Thanks Derek. So far it is now ok, I reuploaded the images. But now if I want to add a new site get the error:
Sorry, your image could not be uploaded because the format of it is not allowed. Allowed formats are GIF, JPEG, and PNG
etc.
If adding the site through the acp it's working fine.

[derekivey]

What format image were you trying to add to the site?

[Ramsesx]

It was gif and jpg format. But as mentioned before it was possible to add it from the acp.

[derekivey]

Hmm, can you PM me the url to your forum so I can try it? It should let you upload gif and jpg images. Maybe even try reuploading the .php files.

Derek

[derfelix]

Very nice hack...
suggestions for future versions (maybe suggested before didn't real ALL of the 38 pages)

* an automatic check if the site has included your code (removal or suspension if your code has been removed)

* point system for users that have lots of ins (if a user comes from their site.. an registers .. addition to referrer?)

* usage of real banners.. (most sites have) instead of buttons..(or choice) with automatic resizing if banner is not the exact requested size...

these are just suggestions
it is great as is

Felix

[derfelix]

been testing it .. and it is great...

found one little bug.. (or feature? :surprised: )

Example:
A user uploads a pic.. and the sitename, description etc...
everything is fine..

now the user sees he has a typo in the text.. so he edits it.
when he saves it.. everything is fine..
BUT: the picture is gone.. as a matter of fact the file is still there..
but somehow in the db it is gone.. the user sees a broken image.

I think its a little bug in edit_site.php

because when you edit your sites it stores the $key variable into the database. BUT if you have not modified the image.. the variable $key is not defined anywhere (actually it takes the $key variable out of the included global.php)

My workaround is the following (maybe there is a more elegant way to do it)
First make a backup copy of edit_site.php


in edit_site.php
find:
if (!empty($vbulletin->GPC['image']['name']))
above add:
$query_key = "";

a little lower find:
$height = $size[1];
below add:
$query_key = ", imagecode='" . $key . "' WHERE id='" . $vbulletin->GPC['id'] . "'";
and finally find:

imagesize='".$image_size."',
imagecode='".$key."' WHERE id='".$vbulletin->GPC['id']."'";
and replace with:

imagesize='" . $image_size . "'" . $query_key . "";

this is just a first guess..
maybe its not very elegant.. but it works for me.

which meens that when i edit a site without changing the image.. it does not delete the image.

Felix

-----------
As for the second little problem.. the dynamic image not showing.. its a problem with my localhost apache (test environment) that does not accept .htacess (but some providers dont either).

so what i did was:
rename the file image.png to image.php
then in the template Toplist_HTML_Code i replaced all 4 instances of image.png with image.php

for me its working now!!

product-toplist.xml

[derfelix]

actually in the db it was not gone (i wrote that before i took a closer look)
the value of the $key variable was replaced by the one created in global.php

thx for looking in to it

Felix

[Josh1]

Ok, everything works fine, cept when I try to access the page:
you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

[derekivey]

You have to set the usergroup permissions for each user in the Usergroup manager.

[derfelix]

AH and there is one (maybe the most important) thing I am missing..

Usually in a ranking list you can set after how many ins the banner appears!

I run a standalone toplist where it is set to 5, so only after 5 ins the banner of the user is up..

(because that is the only way you can get people to post a link towards you)
i guess it must be somewhere in the settings.. and I missed it.
If not.. this is a BIIIG request!
Felix

Found another little bug... no its not.. its rather an annoyance..

AND it will NOT AFFECT (I think) all systems (only the phpmyadmin users)

I stumbled into it when backing up my database with phpmyadmin...
when i wanted to get the backup.sql file back into the database.. it gave me an error...

Why?

because one field is named "in" and phpmyadmin thinks it is a sql statement.

so what i did to upload the backup.sql file.. I edited the field name to "ins" and everything was ok..

then in phpmyadmin (once the file was loaded) I renamed the field back to "in" and everything was ok..

What would be nice in a future version would be to have that field called: "ins" once and for all.. then there would be no more problems..

Hi,

Try the attached product file instead. I took out the code that grabs any images that people have already added before you upgraded, and uploads them to your server. Since your server configuration doesn't allow file uploads, you will have to edit the hack to not allow image uploads, or get your php configuration changed to allow it.

That Works. Thanks.

But in my Toplist now all old Entrys did not show up any Banner of the old Entrys. :(

[derekivey]

Yeah the new version switched from linking the the image urls, instead it uploads them to your server. I will try and release an update to support the old method but right now it doesn't.

[Hoffi]

Umpf. Too bad... about 150 Entries now have no Banner. Shit...

[derekivey]

Check the database, I think I left the old field in there, you could probably just edit the templates so it uses the url to the images instead.

Any Idea, what to do?

Thanks, Andr?


i had the same problem.... it displayed basiclly a broken image... i just removed that image from the center since i couldnt figure it out... i left it all stock and it didnt show up and i edited the file too so i removed that image

[DementedMindz]

what image is suppose to show in the center one by the way?

[derekivey]

It's supposed to show a dynamic image which shows various stats about the site like the number of in and out hits, rating, rank, etc. I'm thinking about adding something to the AdminCP to help everyone edit it more easliy.

[Ramsesx]

Derek, is there a easy way to disable the rating?
Thanks

[derfelix]

i had the same problem.... it displayed basiclly a broken image... i just removed that image from the center since i couldnt figure it out... i left it all stock and it didnt show up and i edited the file too so i removed that image

thats because your server probably doesn't accept php scripts with other endings than php (AND the htaccess instruction is not accepted like on mine)

if i remember right.. i just renamed the image.png to image.php and changed the link all 3 times in the template (from image.png to image.php)

nah it aint that cause i have a few other hacks installed that basiclly do the same thing as that.... ill try what you said we shall see its worth a try

[derekivey]

Derek, is there a easy way to disable the rating?
Thanks

You would have to do some template edits to remove it. For example probably the Toplist_1 and Toplist_2 templates, to remove the ratings and the Toplist template to remove the table header for the rating column.

[loonytune15]

ok I am having probs with the buttons again.

A member has added in his site and the button shows up in the admin cp and the toplist, but not on the forumhome scrolling list of sites, it only shows up as a red x.

any ideas?

Has this problem been fixed? I just had a new member add their site in and its got the red x still..

[derekivey]

Should have been fixed. Right click the image and paste here what it is linking to.

Thanks,
Derek

[DementedMindz]

any word on whats going on with the middle png image yet?

[derekivey]

Can you paste what you have in it so far so I can try taking a look to see whats wrong? Paste it in tags please.

Thanks,
Derek

[DementedMindz]

<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/in.php?id=1" target="_BLANK"><img src="http://www.example.com/images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png?id=1" border="0" alt="example" /></a>

i changed them all from my link but thats what its displaying in the middle image html code.... it dont display the image just a red x for a broken image.....

[JonnyQuest]

I love this hack. One suggestion I have:

Allow affiliates to link to a version of the boards where they have defined the header and footer. This would encourage people to drive traffic to the boards because it looks just like their site. It would really allow the board to be a nexus of discussion from a wide variety of different sites.

Keep up the great work.

[ocyberbum]

any word on whats going on with the middle png image yet?

Same here

[loonytune15]

Should have been fixed. Right click the image and paste here what it is linking to.

Thanks,

it has this as the address:
http://www.monster-designs.com/forums/

their is no image attached for some reason.
but it works in the toplist page and the admin cp.

go to the above address to see.

[DementedMindz]

ok question when im in admin i went to upload a image from there for my button and got this error

Warning: unlink(/images/toplist/buttons/sites/forumhome_chatusers): No such file or directory in /admincp/toplist_admin.php on line 352

[derekivey]

Not sure why it's not working for you guys. Do you have GD installed?

I took a look and it looks like only one site in the Toplist is like that. Perhaps try readding the image?

Yes thats correct. Just ignore the unlink error by the way, it just means the image doesn't exist, you can safely ignore it.

[DementedMindz]

yes i do... as i use it for image verification for new members... not a big deal though i just removed the center table and the info... would like for it to work though lol

[derekivey]

Ok, can you paste the code you have in the image.png file so I can take a look and try fixing it?

Thanks,
Derek

Ok in the toplist page planet renders, was the only site with a red X. I added it in a couple of days ago and it was working, i re-added the image again and it is working again for now..

Yes thats correct. Just ignore the unlink error by the way, it just means the image doesn't exist, you can safely ignore it.

This is also the same problem i have been getting. All my original images have been named as the site number that it was added in as. eg the first site i added was given the image number 1 and so forth.

Also the forum home maquee which is where i am having all the problems, shows red x's everywhere, and it also shows inactive sites.

I m going to have to turn this off soon as it really is starting to look bad..

[derekivey]

@ DementedMindz - is chdir('/html'); correct? If you are on a shared server, it will probably be something like /home/username/public_html/forumdirectory

@ loonytune15 - Go ahead and turn it off for now. I will try to release a fix tomorrow if I can figure out what is wrong.

[DementedMindz]

yes it is well i removed the full chdir for this post but its the same as it would be for my vbulletin and vbadvanced

[loonytune15]

OK i'm not sure if this helps, but the forum home images are all still registering as linked images... eg instead of refering to the uploaded images its refering to the images that i used to have a hyperlink to..

[derekivey]

They shouldn't be. Make sure you reverted your Toplist_Sites_Code template so it has the new code.

[Ahsin1]

Installed but when i import xml gives me sql database error any idea

[derekivey]

Whats the error you get?

[loonytune15]

Well there you have it, thats all that needed to happen :D

Still the only problem i see is that the inactive sites are still being shown on the forum home.
Other than that thanks for the help with that.

[Ahsin1]

When i import xml that the error:

You can ignore that error, it just means you have that field already. Edit the XML file and find that query and remove it then try reimporting and selecting yes to overwrite.

Sorry forgot to include the temporary template edit. Currently it isn't detecting the correct code from the template, so you need to add a line to your FORUMHOME template:

FIND:
<!-- end logged-in users -->
</if>

ADD UNDER:
<!-- Toplist -->

I have this problem after trying to reinstall. I removed the following from the XML

$db->query($sql);]]></installcode>
<uninstallcode />
</code>
<code version="1.0.3">
<installcode><![CDATA[$sql = "ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;";

A am still getting an error

Also in the installation instructions there is:

2. CHMOD 777 images/toplist/buttons/sites.

There is no folder SITES within buttons. Does this folder need to be created?
Thanks in advance

[derekivey]

Yes create the folder if it isn't there. Also whats the error you are getting?

[Beller]

I think I got it sorted...I kept deleting the querys from the xml till it installed ok..
Seems to be working fine now..
Thanks

[derekivey]

Ok, good. Let me know if you have anymore problems.

Thanks,
Derek

[Beller]

OK thanks!

[Beller]

I want to put a note/link to login or register to add site!!! Under Random site...
Whats the best way to do this?

[DementedMindz]

edit it in dreamweaver :)

[Beller]

Sorry ,What i meant was which template?

[derekivey]

You can find that in the template called "Toplist".

Derek

[DementedMindz]

i noticed i tried to remove this this way i can upgrade a few things and then install it after i do a few things but it dont remove it from sql :(

[derekivey]

Just manually remove the toplist_ tables in your database. I forgot to add the uninstall code.

[b6gm6n]

I thought this toplist worked? if you post the button on another site, click it you get this http://www.mysite.com/forums/in.php?id=4 (ok?...nope, it shows nothing and endlessly refreshes)...whats going on? it registers the 'in' count but only once... i've set this up to go by counts in....

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=800212&postcount=31
Hasn't been fixed dude! :D
Might be a server issue, very annoying tho... i'll look into this

REDIRECT URL :D doh! - sorted maybe :) havent tried yet, sorry

Great script :banana:

I installed the toplist mod with no probs but when I added a VBA page to toplist.php it messes up the rating window. It tries to open the toplist.php page in the rating window instead of just the rating. You can barely resize it enough to see where you vote.

I attached a couple screenshots. The first is with a VBA page integrated and the second without a VBA page integrated.

Any way to fix this?
Thanks Jaks

[derekivey]

I took a look at your site, and it looks like it's a vBa issue. Not sure how to fix it since I don't use vBa. Sorry :(.

[Traxdata]

Thanks Derek. So far it is now ok, I reuploaded the images. But now if I want to add a new site get the error:
Sorry, your image could not be uploaded because the format of it is not allowed. Allowed formats are GIF, JPEG, and PNG
etc.
If adding the site through the acp it's working fine.
the same here.

[Traxdata]

great. now when im trying to add an image i get error message

Warning: move_uploaded_file(images/toplist/buttons/sites/zV7wuCzhtu8HsuZb1thR): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /add_site.php on line 125

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpCaSyrq' to 'images/toplist/buttons/sites/zV7wuCzhtu8HsuZb1thR' in /add_site.php on line 125

Warning: getimagesize(images/toplist/buttons/sites/zV7wuCzhtu8HsuZb1thR): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /add_site.php on line 127


i changed nothing.

[derekivey]

It seems like a problem with your host. Does your host allow PHP file uploads? I plan to re-add the old function as an option in the next release so that people who are having problems uploading images will be able to just link to them instead.

Derek

[Deska]

Traxdata, try to give chmod 777 folder images/toplist/buttons/sites

[Traxdata]

Of course... :) would be helpful if I had created "sites" folder before...

Thanks for your hint!

[derekivey]

Glad you got it working. :)

[Sean James]

One problem i am having is that my site fails XHTML validation when i have this hack enabled.

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

1. Error Line 1188 column 267: required attribute "alt" not specified.

...age.php?do=view&amp;id=23" border="0"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nof

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

✉
2. Error Line 1188 column 271: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

...php?do=view&amp;id=23" border="0"></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel="nofollo

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".


Is there a fix for this?

[derekivey]

Are you sure that is coming from my hack? I don't think I have a ?do=view in mine. I just ran the validator on my dev forum where my hack is, and it passed. Could it be your skin that is affecting it?

Thanks,
Derek

[derekivey]

Nevermind it appears this is being caused by the Toplist Images on the Forum home. Just disable that until the next version and it will be fixed.

Thanks for reporting.

Derek

[derekivey]

If you would like to patch that part now to fix it until the upgrade comes up, here is how:

OPEN THE Toplist_Forum_Home TEMPLATE

$vbphrase[toplist_sites]:
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_toplist]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%" height="30" colspan="2"><div class="smallfont">
<!-- Using javascript for the marquee since W3 doesn't like marquees. -->

//-->
</script>
<!--
<marquee scrollamount="$vboptions[toplist_forumhome_marquee_scrollamount]">$toplist_images</marquee>
-->
</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- / Toplist Sites -->


SAVE

OPEN THE Toplist_Sites_Code TEMPLATE

REPLACE THE CONTENTS OF IT WITH:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/out.php?id=$timage[id]"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/toplist_image.php?do=view&amp;id=$timage[id]" border="0" alt="$timage[name]" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Thx for the quick update dude, but there seems to be one spelling mistake:


Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

1. Error Line 1205 column 101: ID "collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" already defined.

...lapse('forumhome_toplist')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" src="/for

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

✉
2. Info Line 1129 column 101: ID "collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" first defined here.

...lapse('forumhome_toplist')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" src="/for

3. Error Line 1210 column 11: ID "collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" already defined.

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" style="">

✉
4. Info Line 1134 column 11: ID "collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" first defined here.

This seems to be spelled wrong collapseimg_forumhome_toplist

Sorry about that I forgot to add that. You can just remove it from the templates if you want and change the alt classes so they are like before. I will include an option in the next release though.

np dude thx for taking the time to release such a great hack ;)

im still have the hack activated i just have it disabled on the homepage for now, as apart from this problem with XHTML validation on the homepage the rest of the script passes perfectly.

[jellybaby]

The banners I had on my previous version arent showing now is that right? Do they need re-adding

[derekivey]

Which banners? The ones the users add or the ones that you added for them to put on their sites?

Hmm I can't seem to reproduce those errors. Do you have the old template edit in or something? Now it edits the template on the fly so there could be a chance that you have the old code in. Can you turn that back on and give me a URL to your site so I can check it out?

Thanks,
Derek

[jellybaby]

The ones that the users added. Im wonder if I have a permission wrong somewhere as there is an x showing where the banner was.

[derekivey]

They should be there. Did you accidentally delete the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder?

[Roms]

Thanks, works great!! *Installed

[ubblite]

A few questions:

Anyone know if the scroll can be turned off on the forumhome page and just show the images or links?

Is there a a way to turn off the "Button Image"?

And if I have Show User Banners enabled, when viewing Currently Active Users it says:

Unknown Location /toplist_image.php?do=view...

and if you click on that link it will just bring up the button image alone.

Also, I have my main table width set at 760px and after adding a new site under Site Added Successfully, it breaks the table width & goes way off to the right side.

[derekivey]

Anyone know if the scroll can be turned off on the forumhome page and just show the images or links?

Just edit the Toplist_Forum_Home template and remove the marquee in it leaving $toplist_images where the marquee tags were.


Is there a a way to turn off the "Button Image"?

Toplist --> Toplist Options -> Show User Banners (set to no)


And if I have Show User Banners enabled, when viewing Currently Active Users it says:

Unknown Location /toplist_image.php?do=view...

and if you click on that link it will just bring up the button image alone.

Looks like a bug with the WOL. I will take a look and fix it when I get back from school.


Also, I have my main table width set at 760px and after adding a new site under Site Added Successfully, it breaks the table width & goes way off to the right side.

I'll have to take a look at this. It hasn't happened to me before I will see if I can find out what is wrong.

I have fixed a bug with the views counter not counting views from guests. Simply upload and overwrite the attached php file. The zip file has been updated also.

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'views' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

[ocyberbum]

Hopefully this has not been asked already but I have toplist installed and im trying to do some link exchanges with other sites that have toplist or something like it and i need to know if i missed something or if there is a way to have a choice between uploading a banner and linking a banner because i need to use there html code so i can get credit on there site when someone clicks on it on my toplist... In the code below, i believe i can use the (Site Url), on the first line <a href="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/"> and fill in the name, & Description as normal but i dont see away to use the banner part of the link on the 2nd line?

example of what i need to put in for the banner to get credit

<a href="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/">
<img src="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/button.php?u=vacustoms" alt="Hot-Car-Sites" border="0" />
</a>

Any suggestions would be great..
Thanks in advance...

The new file gives me a db error:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'views' in 'field list'

Are you running the latest version (1.0.7) of my hack? It looks like you are missing the views field. If you are not upgraded yet, please upgrade, but if you did, just execute this query in vB's admincp or PHPMyAdmin.
ALTER TABLE `vb3_toplist_sites` ADD `views` INT( 25 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL;

Right now it just uploads the images. I am going to be adding the ability to just link to them also.

Derek

[ocyberbum]

I was looking in the cp and there was a option to allow HTML and i didn't know if that could be used to do something........but still its a nice hack:up: I cant wait for that feature.....:banana:

[jellybaby]

They should be there. Did you accidentally delete the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder?

No I didnt have one in the previous version of my Toplist.

[C_P]

Awesome hack and great installation instructions Derek!

[derekivey]

No I didnt have one in the previous version of my Toplist.

There should be one. Please upload the latest files again and chmod the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder to 777. It should work then. That folder is needed to store the images in.

[derekivey]

What feature do you mean? BTW, that option when set to yes allows them to add HTML to their description, I highly recommend leaving it set to no to prevent any security problems.

[bigfoot]

Hi,

I just installed this great product :D but I ran in to a major problem: I have not access to the toplist, and I can't find where to edit this in Admin CP. I even found where to edit this on the screenshots - but when i go to my ACP it isn't there.

What could possible be wrong ???

[ocyberbum]

Right now it just uploads the images. I am going to be adding the ability to just link to them also.

Derek

This one :)

[derekivey]

If you are getting a permission error, please make sure you edited each user group's permissions under Usergroups on the left frame of the Admin CP.

That should fix it.

Derek

[derekivey]

This one :)
Ok. That one will hopefully be in the next release.

Try removing that query from the install code in the XML file and try reimporting it again, or if there are no sites on your toplist yet, you can drop all of the toplist_* tables and reimport.

Derek

Sorry, you're right I don't have the latest version.
One wish for a next version, could you make an option for disabling the rating system because I have some user rating the concurrent sites bad.
Thank you

[derekivey]

Sure, I will add that option. I might also add a banning option.

Can anyone help at all. I have been looking through the thread but cant find anything that works. Thanks in advance.

Make sure the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder exists and is writable (chmod 777).

how to uninstall everything in the data base ?

[derekivey]

You have to use PHPMyAdmin to remove all the toplist_* tables, and there is a field in the usergrouppermissions table.

Derek

[cat4m]

Make sure the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder exists and is writable (chmod 777).


How do I make it writable ? And what is chmod 777 ? Sorry I dont know much about this. Everything else is working but the image picture.

[derekivey]

There should be a feature in your FTP program to let you give it write permissions. If you can't find it talk to your webhosting provider. They should be able to help you out.

Derek

[cat4m]

I will try to sort it out myself because my host takes about 2 weeks to reply to any of my queries. I dont know anything about ftp programs but i will see what I can find in the cpanel.

[derekivey]

cPanel's file manager lets you change the permissions also. Just click on the files, and then in the right frame there should be a link that says Change Permissions.

Derek

[cat4m]

Thanks very much for your help

[cat4m]

Sorry mate, tried to do what you said and it still dont work so I am going to uninstall the lot tomorrow. Thanks for your help anyway.

A few problems with this Toplist hack:

When adding a site and not selecting any image, I get this:
Warning: unlink(images/toplist/buttons/sites/8) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /add_site.php on line 356

Also, in CMPS the image shows up even if: "Show Site Images on Forum Home?" is checked No. It would be nice if this feature worked in CMPS.

Thanks

[derekivey]

I don't get that error at all on my dev board, but if you want you can do this file edit so it doesn't come up at all...

Open add_site.php:

Find (all of these):
unlink("images/toplist/buttons/sites/".$key);

Replace With (some already have the @, only do it for the ones that dont):
@unlink("images/toplist/buttons/sites/".$key);

Also, I haven't had a chance to update the CMPS module, I will have a new version out soon to have that option supported.

Derek

[GNDI]

When I try to enter the toplist from the board i get the follwing message:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


I'll don't think that is cool :confused:

[GNDI]

Ok found the soluution in the "Usergroups" under admincp you have forgotten to write this in your readme.html file

[derekivey]

No, it's in the readme file. It's step 4 in the instructions...

ok, I did what you suggested but now when I leave this blank: Image (Optional):, the next page displays this:

"Sorry, The image cannot be added! The width and height of it exceeded the limit on this toplist. Please try again."

So basically it's the same problem as before - I can't enter any site without an image.

ok I have done it , remove everything with "toplist" (made a search in PHPMyAdmin ) and remove field in the usergrouppermissions table.
now when I ulpload the product , i have this :

Remove that code from the install code and try again.

ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "toplist_sites` ADD `status` VARCHAR( 20 ) DEFAULT 'active' NOT NULL AFTER `out`;

[lasor]

Excellent Job Thanks....

One question on frontpage is the anyway to open links in new window. I have selected this option in the acp options and it works fine on my toplist page but the links on the frontpage do not open in new window?

Thanks

[derekivey]

The CMPS module might not have that yet, I'm not sure if I added it or not. You can easilly add it by editing the module's template though.

Derek

[lasor]

Thanks for that...But can give me a little more of a clue..Sorry Im not an 100% upto date with vBulletin and coding...

Thanks again

[lasor]

Another really cool option would be the ability to disable indevidual banners from being displaid on the front page. I am pretty sure there must be a pretty simple way of doing this...

[derekivey]

I'll try to add this as well. One question though, do you mean disable certain sites from showing on the module or what?

Derek

[lasor]

Thanks for that...What I mean it would be great if you could select which banners where to be displaid on the frontpage marquee. I am not refering to the actual top list page that is fine as it is... but it would be great to be able to select which banners are displaid in the marquee on the frontpage...I hope I am making sense.

Thanks

[azn_romeo_4u]

anyone have any more demo's of this hack in live preview mode?

[dendrob]

Here's another demo:

http://www.orchidboard.com/community/toplist.php

Derek, any possibility of counting all pageviews from all visitors, not just from users.

ie. My ultimate scenario:
You have a site listed in your toplist, that site has a rank button that changes...say today they're ranked #7 and that rank is seen on their own webpage on the button, so 7.gif is displayed on their page. In addition in toplist they will be ranked as #7 and the total number of pageviews will show all the pageviews that their site has received. Ranking would of course be by pageviews received and it would be ranked daily, or weekly or something. This is how it works on vivariumforum.com but the topsite is not integrated with the forum. It's nice to have sites ranked according to their true popularity, not just the popularity from within the list of members. I hope I'm making sense.

AArdvark has a great topsite, but it's not integrated into VB, which sucks. If you could add some of the features this mod would clean house!!!!

I'll prolly add that. Haven't been working on the hack because I've been really busy with school. Hopefully I can release a new version soon though.

Derek

[dendrob]

You will make me very happy!!! I am sure that others will find that feature extremely useful too, especially that it will reflect the true statistic of how the listed site is really ranking according to unique traffic.

[derekivey]

Hopefully this weekend I can work on it...

[Konstantinos]

i cant add image i get error that file format is . it doesnt work right i only can add image when edit the button.

also i want Enter the maximum number of sites you want your users to have listed. this setting per usergroup admin to be able to add more sites than the members

[Mr Peabody]

Howdy ho

Been using this hack for awhile with no problems and its fantastic. I just noticed recenty the marquee stoped working.
Been playing with it and found if i limited the sites to 8 it would start working again, anything over it just goes blank.
Any Ideas?
Cheers
Travis

[derekivey]

I'll have to take a look and see if I can reproduce that. How many sites are currently in the Toplist?

Thanks,
Derek

[Mr Peabody]

11 :)

[dendrob]

Derek...what's the ETA on 1.0.8 ???

[derekivey]

11 :)

I'll see if I can reproduce that and let you know if I find anything out.

Derek...what's the ETA on 1.0.8 ???
Hopefully in a few days if I get more time to work on it. I can't make any promises though...

Derek

[vonedaddy]

I am having the same issues when uploading a button. It tells me I have the wrong format, but if I edit the site it works fine.

[derekivey]

I'll look into it. It might be some kind of bug. What image format are you trying to upload?

Derek

[Blue-Inc]

Hi there,

Thanks for the great hack, but my users are having problems when uploading a button: http://blue-inc.org/showpost.php?p=2592&postcount=6

And look here: http://blue-inc.org/toplist.php

Account:

Username: test
Password: test

Try uploading a button, please. And look after when you upload a button....as you can see it's quite a problem for me, and look at this: http://blue-inc.org/images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png?id=7

I'm like what the heck went wrong there, and is there some where I can pay to get support for this hack? :cool:

[derekivey]

Hmm, it must be a bug then. Can you find out what image types he tried to upload?

Thanks,
Derek

[Mr.D]

how can i add buttons on right side of my forum or entire vbulletin?

But whenever I upload it, it works perfect!

Can you also look at that dynamic link above? it comes with the topsite, where you can put that link on your site in HTML format. But doesn't seem to be working

Thanks, and what's your paypal? ;)

Open images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png,

Find:
chdir('/home/derek/public_html/vbtest');

Replace That With the Path to your Forum.

Also, I'll look into that bug. Maybe it's some kind of permission bug where only admins can add them or something. Really weird, I'll let you guys know if I find anything and patch it.

I was having the problem with that images would not upload then i have chmoded 777 folder where images are uploaded and in add_site.php i have changed the path directly to the forum and upload folder.

i think that will do the trick for me it works like a charm.

Can someone help me with my question

how can i add buttons on right side of my forum or entire vbulletin?

[b6gm6n]

Just wanted to add that this is such a brilliant mod for vB... i paid $60 for a toplist which i ultimately wanted integrated into vB... they couldn't convert and although their soft was great... i felt that this mod was far better...i'll be making a donation soon...great Mod, cheers

Also Derek, are you going to update this to vB v3.6?

And il do that Derek, Il let you know how it goes.

Thanks, glad you like it! Summer is almost here, so when school is out, I will have a lot more time to work on this and make it even better. Sorry for the slow development lately, I have been studying for Finals which are next week.

Also Derek, are you going to update this to vB v3.6?

And il do that Derek, Il let you know how it goes.
Yes I plan to port it to 3.6. I will hopefully start doing that once the first beta is out.

Derek

[Mr.D]

I would suggest that banners can be shown on entire vbulletin and not just forumhome. Maybe make some kind of toplist generator that generates php code or javascript so users can set how many banners can they show, how they must be ordered by (example... By hits in or hits out by name or....) and how many must be in the row and in the column and then they paste that code where they want in vbulletin. This would be a great feature in this Toplist.

[derekivey]

So you mean like using something like amykhar's Put a Column on the RIGHT side of every forum page hack to show user banners on?

[Mr.D]

yes so it could work on all pages is that posible

[derekivey]

Ok I'll take a look at adding it as an addon soon. I am currently working on releasing the next version of this hack so that will come after it whenever I can make it.

Derek

[derekivey]

By the way guys. Here are some screenshots of my progress so far. So far I have the feature that checks to see if the code has been added to their site done. I just need to make the cronjob that can automatically check it and validate it. The code checking feature is optional and can be disabled or enabled in the settings. All it does is looks for the board URL on each site and validates the site if it is found.

Derek

[Mr.D]

Great when can we aspect the release

[derekivey]

Not sure when, I've been busy studying for finals which are Tuesday and Wednesday. So hopefully after those 2 days sometime maybe, before, I don't know exactly when.

[vonedaddy]

Great hack, I have one small problem. The dynamic image.png button does not work, I editted according to your directions in post #450. Any ideas?

[derekivey]

Can you paste the contents of it here in tags please?

Thanks,
Derek

Make sure the .htaccess file is in that folder and also make sure your host supports .htaccess and also has GD.

Yes to all of the above, we use gd 2 btw.
