Make sure the templates were added to your skin(s). If you want me to look at it, please PM the url of your site and admin details so I can check it out for you.

Also just so everyone knows my progress of version 1.0.6, I am pretty much done, I just have to finish adding the image hosting feature. vB's Product installer will automatically copy all of the current site images to your server and leave the image link in the database in case this needs to be redone.

Pm sent!
Thanks ..

Yup, just got it. Looking into the problem right now for you.

Derek

Hi, I just tried adding a site and it added fine. Does it work for you?

Yes, seems to be working fine Now.. Thank you for whatever you did..
Great hack & Support.

No Problem, I didn't do anything lol.

Ok, This hack should be released by tomorrow (Sunday), I just have to add a AdminCP page to manage the uploaded images and stuff. The rest is complete.

Derek

Version 1.0.6 has been released. Please see the first post for the changes in this one. Follow the readme file carefully to install or upgrade.

HOW TO: Editing the Dynamic Image

You may be wondering how you edit the included Dynamic image in this hack. Here is a simple how to, to do it.

OPEN: images/toplist/buttons/dynamic/image.png

FIND:
You need to change '/home/derek/public_html/vbtest' to the path to your forum. Make sure it looks like that though.

Next, if you want to change the background image, simply make a png image and overwrite background.png with it.

If you want to change the color of the text in the dynamic image, you would edit this line:

PHP Code:

---

$color = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 255); 


---

0, 0, 255 are the RGB values for the colors. You need to change them to the color you want, the current one is blue.

Now scroll to the bottom until you find a line like this:

PHP Code:

---

imagestring($image, $font, 44, 28, $rank, $color); 


---

For each of those lines, you will need to change the 2 numbers so that each each thing is aligned with the right part of the image. See my included dynamic image as an example. The first number is the x value, and the second one is the y value.

I hope this little how to helps you edit your image better, sorry if it's kind of confusing.

Derek

This version is stable for translate ?

Yes, I have tested it thoroughly before I released it.

good good, uploading now :D

ok a couple of probs.

First i got some error messages when importing the new product file, did it again but didn't get the message again so i couldn't copy it.

Also the topsites are no longer showing in the forumhome. I have the setting enabled to allow it on the forumhome.

I also am having probs with the images and the fact they are no longer there, some of the ones have saved but others have lost the paths to them. I tried uploading the site images but it wont work either.

Also their is no option to have a remote linked image.

Great Job...........Derekivey :up:

I am haveing a slight problem

I used 468x60 banners and now you have added the button option only.

Is there any way to get it back the option to put the banner under the site title?
I know you recommend smaller images but i dont really want to use the button option. THe banners make it easy to surf the sites.....IMO

Another thing, is there away to remove a vote from a member with out editing the Total Ratings & Average?

I have a member that likes to play jokes and went around and gave some site negitive votes, even tho i corrected it on the Total Rating & Average, its not tallying it up right.

EXP. site had 4 (5 star votes) and 1 ( 3 star) , i remove the 3 star vote and any site that just has 1 vote is rated higher.

Again, thanks for this wonderful hack :)

Wehn you installed the product it should have ran some code that copied the images over to your server. Are you guys sure it didn't do that?

Yes, sure.

I noticed another problem, when trying to fix the missing banners. I can?t upload them to the default directory, even if the permissions are given to upload gif, jpeg and png.

Any idea, derekivey?

The images are on the server , but some of them will not show in the toplist

Ok, those of you who are having problems with the random site addon showing up on the forum home, open the FORUMHOME template and find:
Right above it add:
That should fix it.

For those of you having problems with images not showing up can you please give me the url to your site so that I may take a look?

@am-fs that is currently not a feature. When you fix the total rating, you will need to subtract 1 from the total votes. You should be able to do this when you edit the site.

Thanks,
Derek

I have fixed the problem some of you have been having with images not showing up. Please upload the attached toplist_image.php file and be sure to overwrite the old one.

I am also uploading a new zip file with this fix in it, in the first post.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thanks,
Derek

Sorry, here is my problem not solved:

Sorry, your image could not be uploaded because the format of it is not allowed. Allowed formats are GIF, JPEG, and PNG

The format of the file you uploaded is image/jpeg.

Please go back and select a new image or leave the image field blank.Site Edited Successfully.

The image is o.k., so what could be the reason?

Thanks for your fast help!

Thanks

Hi,

I'll take a look for you and get back to you on this.

Derek

Ok, Open add_site.php, edit_site.php, and toplist_admin.php (2 instances), and find a line like this:
Replace it with:
Let me know if you have anymore problems. I will be updating the zip file in the first post also for this.

Derek

YEP, that did it!:-)

Thanks a lot!

Your welcome :). Thank You for reporting that!

Has this been fixed in the product?

Nothing needs to be changed on the product. All you have to do is edit the FORUMHOME template (which comes w/ vBulletin), and it will show up.

Derek

I have edited the templates a little to fit my site but I was wondering how I can eliminate the Button...I took out the option of uploading one by just removing that option in the Add A Site emplate - how can I remove that column so when a user looks at the Top List the red X doesnt show....

Any Help?

figured it out.

Ok, Glad you figured it out. Just make sure to backup your changes when you upgrade to later versions, because most of the time the templates change between versions.

Derek

hi
i have install the hack and its great
BUT
look and / or
i came in continuous loop :-(

why?
greet jo

Firstly excellent idea and sorry if this question has already been asked.

I have uploaded all the files as per in the instructions etc etc.

When I click on toplist from the home page then either click on "edit site" "delete site", "rate site" or click the link for the site, it either tells me the page cannot be found or the screen is shown for about half a second then you dont see it.

Any help please as I am pretty new to this.

You did not set the IN url in the Toplist Settings, in the AdminCP. Please do so, and it should work.

Can you PM me the url to your forum so I can see?

Thanks,
Derek
