Nope, that didn't work. I'll show you everything I have in my topposters.php file that is in my forum directory:

When I goto the 216.10.11.101/forum/topposters.php I get the same message:

"Fatal error: Failed opening required './admin/config.php/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/onlinega/public_html/forum/topposters.php on line 59"

I haven't included it in my main forum page yet but that's because I can't get this single topposters.php to work correctly. Have you ever encountered this error? Do you have any more ideas?

Please help? :confused:

doh sorry try just
./admin

YES IT WORKED! I love you so much! ;)

You are the man, man!

But in all serious now, I really do appriciate the personal help you gave me there. It's working great and it's a beutiful peace of code!

I only have one last problem now, I can't seem to get it to show up on the forum pages.

I add the code into the header section in the styles menu of the admin control pannel. I place it right below the control buttons where people can log into their user cp, register, calendar, member, etc...

Any ideas?

PHP isn't parsed in any of the templates, so it won't show up if you just put it in the header template. Really I wrote this for an external (to vB) page, but it could work inside it.

In your phpinclude template, put
$topposters = implode('',file('path/to/topposters.php'));
and then put $topposters where you want the list to appear.

you don't need to use this inside vb there is also the feature
http://161.58.84.213/forum/memberlis...ers&perpage=10

Has anyone set this up to run in a vBportal block? If so, would you be willing to share your method? :)

Ok, I got this error:
"Unable to select database"
So the problem is on:The forum works fine, so the config.php is ok.

What's the problem?!

Fixed. :)

Okay I uploaded it and when I directly visit the page it gives me the following message -

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:



Thats all it gives :rolleyes:



EDIT - I am very dumb lol I uploaded it to the wrong folder. The site root rather than the forum folder. Really need to get a decent FTP client rather than a web based one :D Nice hack. Like other hacks this requires error_reporting(7); to be added to the scirpt to get rid of those nasty error messages.

You're still the best Boss....;)

TUBEDOGG:

I'm getting two problems..

1.) When I click the name, it goes to bbs/admin instead of bbs/ for their profiles.. which makes a broken link..

...and

2.) I'm not getting Administrators to show up, even though I set it to 1.

Tubey...

I have the second problem too....:(

*bump*

What do you have $url set to? It needs to be the path to your forums.Try replacing the linewith

$url is http://www.soapedup.f2s.com/bbs ..

..and I changed around that coding, but still tries to get in my admin directory.

The Top Posters Include is on my front page as well.

Bah, I found the glitch. I had to change $path to my Forums directory.. you should really fix that tubedogg.

Or atleast change the $path/member.php?blahblah to $url/member.php?blahblah.

c00l hack! can you please make a Top XX Threads started?
Thnx!

Great hack Thanx alot, works like a charm

($admins = "0"; // change this to "0" to leave admins off the list of top posters. does so indeed, only the other way arround, so "1" to leave em off;))

See plz this sample --> include all needed functions in one file, not required conf file, all in one page, transparent include vb style on non vb pages....

While I appreciate your initiative, could you not use my thread? Thanks.

Indeed all much simply.
Can send ready file (worker version) good working at one of the sites(beside 60 non vb pages)

First, nice hack dude.

though, i have a prob:

when i include

into the phpinclude-template

and $topposters into the forumhome-template, the content of the php-file is being diplayed and spammes my page...

any hints?

btw: calling the topposters.php directly is workin fine....

I worked around, you may find this interesting if you want to integrate it to your vbulletin pages, so i post it here.

What I did was pasting the code from topposters.php to my index.php

then changed the following:

Step 1 find:

Change to read:

Step 2 find:

Change to read:

Step 3 find:

Change to read:

Step 4:
Place the $mytops anywhere you want the stats to be displayed.

Hope this helps

Well before you post it might help to findout what is line 45?

It looks like you don't have // around words so it is screwed up near the beginning.

the <? <?php <?php3
I believe they all do the same thing, supposedly <?php3 was to let a programmer know that it was written in php3 code.

I've tried every combination I could think of to get the name link to work. Here's what I have in that section:

$url = "http://www.collegeteacher.org/forums";
$path = "./admin";

And it makes the name link to http://www.collegeteacher.org/admin/...info&userid=24 . I have tried using "./forums/admin", but then I get:

Fatal error: Failed opening required './forums/admin/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/kilburn/public_html/forums/topposters.php on line 59

Any ideas:

Debby Kilburn
http://www.collegeteacher.org/

Do what I did

make a new variable called

url2 = "http://www.yourdomain.com/forumdirectory";

then look in the url part below for $url and add the 2 after it and it will work fine.

Pie'oh'pah's solution works great check out http://www.snakepages.com/forum

also for people getting a link to admin/member.php?blablabla

find the line:


and change to:

I am confused

Did you place the entire contents of tubedoggs hack into your index,php?

What parts did you put in?
Thanks
Sarge

Any way to get this modified so it wouldn't display MODS either, just like it doesn't for admins? I'd really appreciate it. :D

Could somebody PLEASE upload the topposters.php file as a text file so that I can use it please. For some reason when i try to open a php file my pc associates it with a programmes photo parade.
Tis doing my nut in but I can get round it if somebody could just post the code as a normal text file

Thanks in advance

soceris,
rename the php file to .txt on your machine.

Amy

sorry to be a pain but i've tries every method under the sun to do that already.
Its doing my nut as i really want this hack installed.

help!!!!!
