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

It Sucks!
Ported to VBulletin by Blaine0002

Quote:

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

10-20-2007 01:05 AM

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

Tested On:
vB Version 3.6.7

Problems:
The itsuckschart.php Page Creates Errors From Time To Time
View Of Errors

Code:

Warning: Division by zero in /home/adminsfe/public_html/vB-Forums/itsuckschart.php on line 93



Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/adminsfe/public_html/vB-Forums/itsuckschart.php:93) in /home/adminsfe/public_html/vB-Forums/itsuckschart.php on line 148

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!

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

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.

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:

Code:

$navbar

Directly Below This Add:

Code:

<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

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 ;)

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