Derek my site is back up, if you could please look when you have a chance. The marquee is still not working.

http://www.top-vb.com/

Looking into it. It seems to be caused by a Javascript error that I am trying to narrow down.

Ok, it seems to be caused by the Webmaster's Hideout site. I guess the javascript doesn't like the '. Can you try editing the site name and deleting the ' and see if that fixes it? I'm going to make it automatically escape ' in the next version.

Thanks,
Derek

ok I'll try that

That did it derek, thank you! wow, who would have thought?

Another 2 questions please?

1) How do I remove someone's button image from the toplist? I have a broken image and can't find where to remove it

2) Why would sites keep UNvalidating in the toplist when the linking code is clearly on their site, and on the url submitted?

Thanks again!

1. Right now you will have to remove the string of random characters from the image field in the toplist_sites table. I will have a check box in the next version to allow them to be deleted. Right now, the way it works is that it just deletes it when they upload a new image.

2. Are you running the cron script that automatically checks them every day?

hmmm I'm not sure... I haven't touched any settings since I installed this. I'm just wondering why it would knock them off the list when they DO have the code on their sites.

can i ask.... to rate a site...can guests do this?... im sure i've set this up correctly, just seems people cannot rate or cannot be bothered :)

Hmm... is it the exact in link URL? http://www.yoursite.com/path_to_forums/in.php?id=x

Also, is it happening for all sites or just certain sites?


Not currently. I never allowed it because it is kind of hard to track guests and make sure they don't keep voting for a site. I'm thinking about changing this in the next version and have a new database table to log the IPs of all guest voters and keep track of them that way. I would have it limit them to only vote X number of times (admin setting). Might do the same for the add site page too... let guests add sites, and restrict editing and deletion by their ipaddress. I'm still thinking about this though...

Hi Derek, no it's not happening with all sites.. but the ones it is happening with, I've followed the link to thier sites, and there sits the link to the toplist just as plain as day, with their link code included.

Now, this morning I'm having this problem.... When I tried to upload a button image for a site I got this error:

and the image isn't working, just a red x. any ideas?

I will look into the issue with it disabling certain sites. For now, I suggest you disable the cron from running until I get it fixed.

CHMOD 777 images/toplist/buttons/sites

Derek

Ok derek I'll do that. But what about my other issue above? It won't let me add buttons now.

Del... it'll be great anyways... i'd like to know i could remove the column or have it more functional for guests, i have loads of passtru traffic...

Do what I said above and it should work.

Derek

I saw that after I posted, sorry. That problem is fixed now too.

Now, if I could just do something about it constantly knocking this ONE site off the list, I'll be a happy camper. The site has the code on it's forumhome, I put it there myself. Yes I'm constantly having to edit this site in the toplist to make it active on the list again... had to do it 3 times just today. :(

which one? the "in code validation"?

Yup. That one...

lol.... I disabled that one... kicked the same site off twice more afterwards

I've been getting multiple database errors for 3 days in a row now. 47 of them within a one hour period just this afternoon!!!

This is what I got today:

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
/home/topvb/public_html/includes/class_core.php on line 273


any idea what's going on? is there a fix for this??

That has nothing to do with the Toplist hack... is your MySQL server down? Or did you recently change your username or password for the SQL database, and forget to upgrade the vBulletin config?

nope, neither. If the latter was the case I wouldn't be able to use the site at all.

odd............

Did you get it fixed? Seems to be working at the site you linked me to a few pages back... http://www.top-vb.com/top_vbulletin.html

the site has never been down. I'm just getting multiple database errors... 29 today, in fact. I've emailed my host, but no answer from them so far

No, I'm just saying that I don't see any errors? What page did it say the errors were on?

ugh, I deleted the ones I got today already. When I get the next batch, I'll post it here.

thanks Derek

Hi, installed it works fine with 3.6.4 :)

http://www.flunkme.com/toplist.php

what does "view" section count?? isn't it the same as "out" - I just don't understand... and in addition view and out for the same site are different :) how can that be? maybe a little bug?

How do I disable counting "view"s?

is the toplist thing server intensive?

no its not intensive at all but i do agree that there is no point cause they both do show the same numbers so having the same thing is pointless

DementedMindz
so its good idea to remove views in the next release ;)

another issue, problem is that I have two different numbers for those fields! I noticed that "in" increases 2X for each click, "view" acts normally. What could be the cause? how can that be fixed?


p.s. after several resets it works fine again... hm... very strange!

also arrows up down don't work.. it always shows down :S

here screenshot of what I'm talkin about! Views and OUT show different results, how can that be??

Views might be messed up. I'll have to look into it. It's supposed to count all pageviews to sites that have added the code that counts them.

Was this after you reset the toplist or when did this start happening? They should show a minus sign which means there was no change in their rank.

sandrodz this is not my mod its dereks he provides great support for it so please dont pm asking for help. also is your cron running?

DementedMindz
sorry :) okay I fixed most of the stuff, no problem at all :)

derekivey
I fixed most of things.... http://www.flunkme.com/toplist.php I removed all the "out" section and changed it to show "view"s only. Out thing was messed up, sometimes it counted 2X for one click! Views work well, so I stick to it :)

Also I did couple of the modifications to the code. Nothing special, just tailored it to my needs :)

awesome script, thanks!!

No Problem. :)

Hello,

some banner images of the toplist sites have disappeared on my toplist.
How can that be?!

Screenshot please? Not sure which banner images you mean...

thanx for the support derekivey :)

No Problem :).

Hi, I having issue when you trying to add a site and place the image logo to your homepage. For some reason it doesn't link property.

Site Edited Successfully
Please add this html code to your site, so that you can get "in hits" on the toplist:

<a href="http://www.khmerclub.com/in.php?id=6" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.khmerclub.com/images/toplist/buttons/toplist.gif" border="0" alt="KHMERCLUB.COM" /></a>

I copy this code and place on the site but is not linking to the topsite page.
This is the link: http://www.khmerclub.com/in.php?id=6.

If I click on the image link it just keep clicking going to the same page.


Here the test account I had created.
